Screwed Up Circadian Rhythm...

Daylight Savings Time is not a time of the year that I genuinely favor. Sure, as the name says, we get more daylight. But it screws up my biological clock like crazy. Losing an hour of sleep is one thing I don't enjoy very much, despite the fact that eventually my body will get used to it. I'm not much of a morning person. I should be sleepy by now (since it's 3 am in the morning...even though it's REALLY 2 am), but as the title says...my circadian rhythm is all screwed up. I'm usually a pretty good night owl, but by this time I should be falling asleep. Unfortunately, I'm WIDE awake. Oh well.

As I've mentioned, the only thing about DST that I love is that the sun is out longer. I could still do my running at 6:30 in the evening & the sun will still be out. Going out on weekends is better, so that you can enjoy the extended exposure of daylight. That's pretty much it.

After successfully taking 2 anatomy/physiology exams, watching an unfortunately anticlimactic Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight, spending time with my parents, grandparents, sister, & titas, & eating some great food with the family, the weekend was a very satisfying one. Maybe DST won't be as bad afterall. Hopefully. Eventually my body will settle. It just better settle soon!

Yesterday was also a very special person's birthday & I hope she enjoyed it & was happy. I've said it many times & I'll say it once more...I miss Ephraim & Gomer.

What did YOU do on your weekend? Hopefully it went as well as mine did.

OK! Now my pineal gland is kicking in as we speak & I can finally feel the melatonin working it's magic. That's my cue. Good night world.

Er...should I say good morning? argh.

'Til next time...

Deuces.
