  • Great Big Fail

    I tried to implement rollover last night, which is what happens when my sleep schedule becomes incompatible with my class schedule. My sleep schedule likes to shift later and later (because staying up another hour is always easier than waking up an hour earlier), until by the end of the weekend, I'm sleeping all the daylight hours and awake all the night. Rollover takes the night and drags it out until the next night, by which point I'm awake a bit longer than normal and ready to sleep at a functional hour again.

    So it turns out that works a lot better if I have some dire need to be awake, such as a problem set that takes all night. As it was, I feel asleep around sunrise and missed my classes today. That was terrible.

    I'll try again tonight, and tonight I'll sit in front of my computer at my desk and drink Red Bull and do work. Holding down a job is going to be rough. Being a Real Person is going to be rough.
