nocturnal
my system is unbelievably stuffed up... i realize that most people during holidays sleep like at 3am. but sleeping at 4am till 2 pm the next day makes me feel like a sloth... minus the th and adding a b. hahaha.. though sloth works too ...
i need to be able to wake up earlier than 12pm!
did you know?
the purpose of sleep isn't so that your body can give itself rest. instead, sleep is really so that your brain can restructure memories. as this is fundamentally needed for the survival of most mammals, the tiredness experienced as a result of a lack of sleep is the body's way of telling you that you're stupid.
some people are known to sleep with their eyes slightly open. (freaky)
in 1998 a study was done with results indicating that shining a bright light at the back of the knee would reset the brain's sleep-wake clock. scientists have been unable to explain why.
it is recommended that teenagers sleep 9 hours... whilst adults should sleep 8 hours at least. (and how many of us actually do that? haha)
ok... i need to wake up hours earlier that 12 tomorrow....i mean today... so i'm off to bed.. gnite!
