Sleep
I don't know what is wrong with my sleep schedule. It's always been odd; I usually am most comfortable going to bed around 2 or 3am and waking up around 11. I do my best writing between about 10 pm and 2 am, and I seem to have the most energy then as well.
In the last couple weeks my body has rebelled further from the societal norm of going to bed at 11 and waking up at 7. I now collapse, exhausted, around 2 am, hoping to sleep until 10, and instead wake up after four hours. And I can't go back to sleep! So I get up and putter around for an hour and then go back to bed, and instead of sleeping another four hours, I'll sleep for something ridiculous like nine hours, straight through any alarm I've set, and wake up with the day completely wasted. I don't understand this.
But here I am again. It's 6:30 in the morning and I've had four hours of sleep. I think today I will not allow myself to go back to bed for fear I'll just sleep through until Thursday. Body, I will beat you into submission. If you won't sleep a continuous eight hours when I want you to, then you will have to suffer the consequences and stay awake all day.
Mwa ha ha.
In completely unrelated news, one of my KnitPicks Options needles broke (tragedy!!). If I weren't leaving for Michigan tomorrow I'd call them up and demand they send me a new one. Should I call them up and demand they send a new one to Michigan? I kind of need it to finish the hat I'm working on....

Sadly, I've kept myself awake for the last four hours knitting. But I've started two new projects instead of working on existing projects. My brain isn't meant to be awake at this time on a Sunday!!

I think my body's broken.
