Sopor

The strange and mesmerizing grasp of sleep deprivation had me at its claws earlier today. Having survived off of a 5 hour sleep schedule last year, I find it harder to keep myself awake without dozing off here and there at times now. Sometimes occupying my brain with thoughts will just fatigue my will to stay awake even faster: it will enervate me both ways; in terms of the physical aspect of staying awake and the mental counterpart to it. Sometimes I wish I was still a kid, a prepubescent kid, because back then in those days I didn't ever have to worry about falling asleep in class. I remember back then I used to scoff at the idea of falling asleep in class - it's just now the hours of sleep I need are much greater than before and there are so many things I'd like to get done that sometimes I wish we humans didn't need to sleep at all. I'm quite jealous of those who can live off of one sleep cycle a day - imagine how much spare time would be available.
