For the first time in recent months, I woke up at two in the afternoon. I was supposed to go with my family to the mall (I am fond of 'shopping' in the grocery) but they were nowhere to be found when I woke up. They didn't even bother to tell me. Oh well.
Waking up at around two in the afternoon is a telling sign. The night before that, I slept at around four in the morning. That is not a good habit for someone who has things to do in the day, I know, but I am incapable of sleeping during the right time. During the day, I feel a little spaced out and out of reality, no thanks to my recurring headaches. It feels like I am in an eternal jetlag.
I do not drink coffee daily. I may get a little addicted to coffee once I get to drink a cup, but it is not something that I do everyday. I am also reducing my softdrink intake these past few weeks. I don't think that I have been ingesting lots of caffeine so I don't see why I am having these problems.
If only I can, I will hit my head with one of these desk phones just to induce myself to sleep, but I might end up sleeping in a hospital bed. It can get a little irritating when people at home tell you to sleep because you are typing quite noisily and waking them up. I cannot blame them anyway. It's four in the morning after all.
The most severe effect of this sleeping habit is on my studies. Since I am somewhat spaced out during the day, I barely understand what I read or what I hear from my professors. I just read the lectures during the night, when I understand them better.
Is this a sign of being nocturnal? I do not know. I just want to get out of this trap--immediately.
