Staying up late is by no means a good idea. It can cause sleep deprivation, which leads
to tiredness, heightened stress levels, mental fatigue, and even weight
gain! So why would I choose to do it?
Freedom!
There is nothing more relaxing than turning off all the
lights, turning on your reading lamp, making the bed, and settling in with your
computer until the wee hours of the morning.
This is especially appealing on a school night the year after you
graduate. Finally, after so many years
of worrying about getting to sleep as early as possible so that I can wake up
at five in the morning, I can just sit back and watch the rise before I go to
bed without worrying about my schedule.
Just kidding, I don’t stay up quite that late. I’ve had a
couple close calls though …
Is it good for me?
No. Is it worth it? Probably not.
Will I keep doing it? Yes …
After all, work doesn’t start until three or four in the
afternoon and it’s not like I have school holding me back (*sniff, sniff *)
I feel a little like a bum, going to work and going home and
going to work and going to the doctor and going home. Fortunately, ice show practices start soon,
the next figure skating test session is coming up, trips with friends are just
on the horizon, and I’m looking into voice lessons. Soon, I will have an actual agenda again, and
then it’s just a matter of time before I get to college, where I will have
thirty-hour days and 8-day weeks scheduled.
Hooray!

Wishing you a good night’s sleep,
Little Me
