Contemplating the Mysteries of the World - Part 21: Sleep (again)

Have a written about sleep on here before? Yes. Does that make this blog redundant? Also yes. Have I ever cared about ANY of that? Not in this universe! Either way, part 7 of these blog series may have a similar title and also feature an image of a sleeping cat, but trust me, this one is going to be much longer, and much more negative. The last 2.5 years since I wrote that issue have drastically changed my perspective on sleep, so this blog will contain both be complaining about sleep and teasing my naive 17 year old self who wrote that silly little entry. I know I like never post, so if you are new here, yes: I am sarcastic and negative - that's the point - get used to it!

Look, I avoided all-nighters throughout all of high school, and my first 1.8 years of college. This month, I caved. I stayed up all night and wrote an entire research paper in 10 hours, and that was probably the most productive 10 hours I have had all semester. That was 2 weeks ago, and I am writing this during the tale and of my 4th all-nighter. Why would you waste time sleeping when you could be working on things you need to get done? Caffeine exists, it has become my friend. I can work for many hours, completely uninterrupted, whilst my peers waste time sleeping only to stress about their assignments during waking hours. Do I still sleep, yes, but only when I don't have things to do! I am saying its all about perspective: all-nighters don't need to be a bad thing. Biology fails at letting us be productive, I say do it anyway (why am I being so positive? I don't know, it's scary!). Is it healthy, NOPE, but like most things I write about on here, I really don't care about that.

Greetings Jetpunk! I know it seems I had forgotten the password to my account, but trust that I still linger on the hallowed halls of the Recent User Blogs page. I may not typically have time to complain about things nowadays, because TLDR school is school, I read things. I am currently struggling through many a final paper, as well as extracurriculars wrapping up for the year, it's a lot. I will hopefully be writing more over the summer (mainly due to my other opinion outlet going on hiatus). If you have stuff you want to hear my takes on, y'all know I can complain about anything at this point! You might see some travel blogs from me come fall, as I make the perilous journey across the Atlantic and spend a semester studying in Europe. I know this return to this site is a short one, but I am impulsively writing this, in one sitting, after not moving for roughly 8 hours writing a paper, making a presentation, and editing a video project. For now I am going to continue to cry over papers and drink excessive amounts of caffeine.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Rosie
