Looks Good on Paper

Operation Insomnia is in full swing, 4 days in and I'm doing pretty well. What I am doing is this: I am never tired at night. I also never seem to get enough done during my week. So I have begun an experiment where I don't worry all to much about the time I get to bed as long as I am doing something beneficial like: writing, dishes, showering, reading, studying, or praying. I began the experiment a few days ago and it is going well thus far. I still don't wake up early but it's not like that's new. I wake up in enough time to get dressed, get coffee, and get to our living room for the morning meeting. I have been a little tired during the past afternoons but have been pushing through. No matter how tired I am during the afternoons I still find plenty of energy in the evening.

It's gotten better though, everyday I seem to adapt more and more to less sleep. I only wish I didn't ever have to sleep. I think sleeping is such a catch 22 because I am never tired until I lay in bed for a while and fall asleep. Once I'm asleep however I am tired no matter when I wake from my slumber. I feel like if I just stayed up for days straight I'd be better off.

I have often wondered why God made us humans to need sleep. I see it like this; God rested. I for one love rest but sleep is not my idea of good rest. I like sitting, watching tv, skimming over the latest issue of esquire, or browsing daily blogs. I'd do these things all day, but sleep, however, I see as such a nuisance.

I think this is why the only drug I ever enjoyed fully and was the most likely to form an addiction to, was amphetamines. I used to go on a spree of 2 to 4 pills and stay up for days. I would get so much done.

Well. I guess this is all I have for now. Not to many people read this so I'm not even going to apologize about the lack of thought and time put into this entry.

LIVE
LOVE
YHWH
