Vampira (Day 18)

I am most definitely going to have to find a way to get more sleep. I cleaned my bedroom last night and that actually seems to be a step in the right direction. As it turns out I'm pretty uncomfortable sleeping when surrounded by filth! Of course, the major issue is that my current living situation is confined to this bedroom. I do everything here. It's where I play games, watch Netflix, and it's where I eat. Associating all of that with "the place where I sleep" is harmful to getting rest. Still, there's not a whole lot I can do about it right now unless I decide to start sleeping on the couch in the next room. There's a good chance I'll experiment with some kind of sleep aid soon, but I keep forgetting to do so.

Sleep is so important for memory and concentration so it's no surprise that I forget everything and can seldom focus. I really want to get more serious about getting more sleep because it's really taking a toll on my mental state. I want to be able to write these entries every day and feel good about doing it. I have a lot of ideas floating around but I'm so tired most of the time that it's hard for me to organize my thoughts in an effective way! 

It's 12:34 AM right now and I got off a 10 hour shift at around 9:15 PM. The night before, I got two or less hours of sleep. It's safe to say I'm tired, but instead of lying down and getting much needed rest immediately, I decided to dick around on the internet, listen to music, and watch George Carlin standup on Netflix. Well, it stops here. I'm going to lie down now and make a legitimate effort to go to sleep. I haven't woken up rested and refreshed in weeks and it would be a really nice thing to happen.
