Sleep is overrated
Posted: March 17th, 2004 | Words: Bendit | Posted in Ben | 9 Comments »

I haven’t been sleeping much the past two or three weeks. I am fairly certain it’s because of all the things going on in my life right now. I can’t get my brain to stop thinking of the many things I have to do. I spend more time thinking then doing, and it wears me out!

This morning I woke up at about 5:00 AM thinking about one of college projects, at about 5:30 I had enough and took out my PowerBook and started coding until my battery died. Then I had breakfast.

One thing I remember from my psychology class is that some people’s body and mind are in their prime at night rather than the day. I think I am definitely one of those people since I have a really hard time getting any work done during the day but I’ll stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning working on something and not even realize how late it is. It’s when I do my best work! Too bad the rest of the world expects me to work when I want to sleep. It also doesn’t help that I go out with my friends in my mental prime – what a waste!

Back to work I go.

ps. Is the late-night working condition common amongst most geeks? I think it is. Discuss in the comments.

I’ve been very busy these days.

I know it’s hard to believe. Ben, busy? Pshaw.

School has been commanding most of my attention as I race to the finish line these last few weeks. To make things even more hectic I started a relationship with a girl I met on a train. Perfect timing! Posting on the site has been hard since I don’t have much time to stop and think about what has been going on these days

I finish my classes and exams in 3 weeks and then I have another 3 weeks dedicated to finishing my final project. Expect my full return after the exams.

Until then I leave you with this nugget of love.
