Students are Nocturnal Creatures.

I'm typing this feeling extremely tired and drowsy and it's only 16:15. Know why? Because I am a student with no lectures yet, that's why.

It's not the worst place to spend all my time though :)

Due to a combination of late nights out and taking longer lie-ins than necessary, I've now developed a need to sleep in the daytime and stay awake all night. My days consist of lying in bed watching catch-up TV, followed by breaks of sleeping and eating, while my nights either consist of the exact same activities as the day and/or nights out consuming that vile friend Mr Alcohol.

I'd recommend not getting into this position, it's not fun. Before you get into this trap please try to sleep at least before 1am if you're not going out, and make it a part of your routine to wake up before 12.

You can dress up my problem any way you fancy, for example by saying that studies show that longer lie-ins and less sleep leads to greater intelligence, but trust me even doing the 2 times tables could challenge me right now. This laziness and realisation that I don't need to get up is not a great feeling when it's 24/7.

So here's to me trying to get my sleeping patterns back to normal. Look out for a follow up post to see whether I can live like a normal human being again :).
