have a regular sleep schedule

I’ve been on a regular sleep schedule alright, but not a good one. This past week I have had so much homework that I’ve stayed up until 1:30 or 2am all this week to work. In the morning, I’ve been tending to get up at 9am which means I have to hurry to get to my 9:30 class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I really want to go to bed earlier so I can get up earlier. Truthfully, I like being up in early in the morning. If I could wake up at 7:30 every morning, I’d be content. But my body is not going to let me wake up that early on a daily basis when I go to bed at the times I have been this past week. During the summer when I am removed from all the busy-ness that school imposes on me, I work 8-4 five days a week. It’s a predictable routine and having a regular sleep schedule in the summer is no problem for me. I go to bed around 10:30 or 11pm and wake up around 6:30am in the summer. I’m always free to stay up later on my days off, which I usually do. I just wish I could do that here at school. I’m not going to give up on this goal just yet. I’m hoping things will calm down in the next few weeks and I will have much less homework. Then, I will have nothing psychologically holding me back from going to bed at or before midnight. I’m not sure how probable that is, but I have to hope.

I’d like to have a designated sleep schedule that is flexible to a degree, but generally remains the same. In college, my sleep hours are so varied because I tend to stay up late working on homework. On Mondays and Wednesdays I sleep in because I have later classes, but that makes it hard for me to get up for my early classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s difficult for me to get up early on Mondays and Wednesdays, though, so I can’t really change my habit of sleeping in since I really do need to catch up on sleep. I don’t know if this is something I can change this semester or not, but I might as well try. It will undoubtedly mean me going to bed sooner, I know that much. Possibly I could wake up early on Mondays and Wednesdays to do homework that I normally would have stayed up to finish. Hmmm…I’ll have to put some more thought into it
