Insomnia

I'm going to step away from my music blog for a moment to comment on how I don't handle pressure. Finals are coming up this week and it seems that in the last two weeks, I think I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night.

I get nervous about a paper or an exam and so when I lay down to sleep, my mind is racing and I can't get my body to rest. The smart approach when this happens is to get up and do some studying/writing, right?

Not for me. Here's the problem: at about 12-1am, my brain shuts off. After a while, the words on the page stop making sense and are just, well, words on a page. And since I'm more lucid in the daytime, I figure that stopping there and getting up early after 5-6hrs of sleep would be the best solution. So even though I can't sleep, I won't necessary get any work done either. I'm in limbo.

The term ends on Wednesday for me and it seriously cannot come soon enough. I miss my sleep. And it misses me.
