I've found through my four years of college that sleep is not something that is always so easily attainable. Sometimes you have to go several nights with very little rest and then catch up on the weekend with a 12 hour night of sleep. This is not a healthy cycle to get into, obviously, so I have taken to what my room mate calls "going to bed abruptly." I'll be working on homework or watching tv or whatever and I'll suddenly get the desire to go to bed, so I'll run to my room, slam the door and jump into bed. Without brushing my teeth, without going through my nightly ritual. It's a strange thing I've taken to doing, but it ensures that I get the sleep I need.
Why do I do this? I'm not sure. But sometimes I can pinpoint it. Sometimes I think about the new box of cereal I bought and I run to bed because I can't wait to get up and eat breakfast. Or other times I jump into bed abruptly because I just washed my sheets (clean sheets are on my top list of favorite things ever). Or other times I'm just really frustrated with being awake.
Whatever the reason, it's a weird thing I've taken to doing. So now it has become a running joke. So, if you ever stay the night with me, be warned!
