My sleep pattern has become very idiosyncratic recently, and not by my own volition. I can’t seem to sleep more than 2-3 hours at night in one go, and then I sleep for hours in the day. Tonight I was on Reddit till 1.30-2am, and then woke up at 4.30. I’ve been up since then and its still morning. I have also gotten into munching on sugary things when I’m up at night, but I’m not too worried about that because it’s fairly limited and I know I can control it. I should. I haven’t been going to a gym because I don’t have a permanent geographical place where I can get a gym membership. Maybe exercising will help with my bad routine. I started out by staying up till 3-4 am to work, then till 6-7 am. Some days, I would get very little sleep because I still had commitments in the day. Then last week for the second half, I felt very burnt out and didn’t have the energy to do any work. That’s when this started. I would sometimes play games at night or watch Netflix, anything that wouldn’t make me use my brains. It was weird, that period, I felt a strange headache and I was disinterested in everything. It does surprise me that it suddenly changed during the weekend and I even wrote a project happily (gitignore.sh) and then learnt some Coq as well. Granted I was still quite distracted, but this is much better than last week.
Maybe I’ll fix my sleep schedule, but that’s not on the top of my priorities. I know, I complain that this is a problem, but then I’m not willing to do anything about it. That’s because maybe it’s not as bad. I still get time to do things I like and work. I don’t hate it not having to be all sweaty from the summer heat. I’ll take it if my schedule fixes itself when I travel, but I don’t think I will explicitly act against it.
