Sleeping Duty

for

March 23, 2005

In high school, back when I thought I could get away with sleeping only 6 hours a day on weeknights--and in reality was making most of it up by sleeping until 1, which to this day has my grandfather asking me if he woke me up on Sunday mornings at 11--I had a pretty good routine. I would get up, do the morning evacuation/ablution ritual, have breakfast with the funnies and my dad, and with a good 10 minutes before car pool/I would leave for school, I'd climb right back into bed. These days, when I need that nap more than ever, and it's only on the basis of the egregious number of snoozes I inflict on my alarm clock that I don't get to take it, I sit back and marvel at the amazing ability I had to sleep and the inability I had up until earlier today to realize that I wasn't really getting by on 6 hours of sleep at all. Suffice to say, when all I can think about these days is sleep, life is probably not all that much better, except for the income and the lack of curfew.
