LIMBOoooo

 Life is bland, you know. Not having any work to do is magical n'all for the first few weeks, then you kinda get stuck in this holiday limbo. An endless cycle of sleeping all day, partying all night, and collapsing from exhaustion whenever the sun comes up. Sleeping, however, is not helped by the fact that my curtains are completely rubbish and may as well not even exist. I've recently found myself barricading my window with towels and pillows and bits of card, trying to seal off every bit of annoying light so I can finally sleep for 13 hours, and this all makes me feel twatishly vampiric.

Thing is, Id really like a job this summer. The most debilitating thing between me and this objective, is that I have my entire family and family friends nagging me about doing something about it. My father above all should understand that I'm permanently conditioned to do precisely not what I'm nagged to do after 20 years of having predominantly bad things the subject of all nagging. Thereby reinforcing my nocturnal habits so I don't have to deal with anyone. The bastards. I need a night shift.

Whenever I do resurface, probably around 4 or 5pm, with and unprecedented hairdo and an immediate kettle boiling. My pointless whatever's-in-the-fridge life is gently ridiculed by whichever patronising cretin is about the house during sociable hours. There'll be an ironic 'GOOD MORNING!' or a 'GOOD NIGHT LAST NIGHT THEN?'

It wasn't funny the first time someone said it, and it's not getting any titting funnier.

Most painful of all, is when I actually do wake before 11am and they smugly ask 'You wet the bed?'
To which I reply; 'Yeah, um, I had a bit of wee on myself, yes.'

So tonight I intend to break the cycle with a nasty 25 hours of wakeness resulting in a bedtime of 8pm and a hopefully reset body-clock. In this time I can play as many computer games and eat as much shit-from-the-fridge, and have as many kettle boilings that I like, because I'm being fucking productive.

This was my predicament. Then I joined a band. One of the best years of my life followed. I getya though. Nagging is counter-productive. It just makes you angry.

Being awake for 25 hours will not solve your problem. Regular exercise, being outside more, and a good diet and activity during diurnal hours will give you a decent circadian rhythm. Staying up all night will make you tired. It's not about "re-setting your body clock" or whatever bullshit that is. Spend less time on your computer, it fucks up your brain. It can't differentiate between daylight and the light from a computer monitor.

A week of getting up at 10am, going on a walk for half an hour, or playing football with your mates on the park (notice how we all sleep normally?) and eating right and going to bed no later than 2am will do wonders for you, and make you feel amazing.

You're out of synch because your body is in a very unnatural state. Humans were made to rise and fall with the sun. We're diurnal. Keep it that way, you'll feel a lot better.
