Awakeness

Staying up late and getting up early has adverse effects on both sleepiness and health. It makes me want to never get out of bed in the morning and fall asleep as soon as I get home from school of a day. Deprivation of sleep makes everything harder in general. Why then, do I willingly give up sleep? The answer is simple. I am a teenager.

I’ve stayed up until the early hours of the morning talking to my friends, doing homework, procrastinating on homework, playing games, among other things. It used to not be this way. During middle school I would do my homework as soon as I got home, do all my other daily things and be asleep by 10:00. But then freshman year rolled around and it all began to change. I started becoming a homework lazy, friend chatty, and just overall time wasting kid. That fact has only manifested itself more since I’ve moved up the ranks of high schooldom.

And you know what? It’s cool, because I always get what I need to get done, done. Maybe it’s at the cost of my awakeness, but hey, if the shoe fits…wait, that cliché doesn’t “fit” here…anyway, sort of loopy right now, so I’m going to call it a blog and a night.
