Exhaustion

Winter break has begun and yet all I can feel is exhaustion. Between getting a dog and starting a new job, plus the inability to fall asleep when I want, my body seems like it's about to shutdown.

In some ways the exhaustion may actually be good: I hardly eat ever because I don't seem to have time and I'm making money and working, which prevents me from going to the bars every Wednesday or Thursday (not that I even would have the energy for it anymore), so I can't blow my money on eating out all the time or drinks.

I asked a guy at my work how he got on a sleep pattern, he told me there isn't really a sleep pattern, so that was great news. He suggested not doing the two part sleeping that I've been doing, sleeping from 10-3 and then after from 8-11. He suggested sleeping either from 8-3 or after work from 8-3. Personally, I've never been able to go to bed before 8 because I just feel like I'm going to miss something. Primetime baseball and football games aren't even over until at least 9, and primetime shows like The Office don't even come until 8. How can I go to bed before my favorite show comes on? It's just not going to happen!

Hopefully my body will get used to this inability to sleep in until noon. If not hopefully I'll at least be able to work up some energy after my first pay check so that I can at least workout during the day.
