Not enough sleep...

That is the problem with a lot of people. They dont get enough sleep. And I will be the first one to admit that I am a major offender when it comes to this. I never ever get enough sleep. And some days it really messes up my day. I will not go to bed early enough and then i will either be late to work or late to school. Why do we as a nation try so hard to go without sleep?

It always made me wonder why as a nation we dont sleep enough is it that we feel like we are wasting our lives away. Since there is the saying that says " ill sleep when im dead". But wouldnt it be more correct if it was "youll be dead if you dont sleep". I personally dont sleep because I feel like there is always something else for me to do before I go to bed. And by the time I actually get to bed its so late that I dont even want to know what time it is. Sometimes I wont sleep for more than two days at a time. 

Dont get me wrong I love sleep. It is one of my favorite things to do. So why is it that we dont sleep the recommended amount like we should?

I feel that part of it is mental and we psych ourselves out and the other part of it is stress related or some form of a chemical imbalance. 

One thing I know for sure is I cant wait to get some sleep tonight.

Maybe now that the semester is over you'll be able to catch up on some sleep.
