on sleep

o man. like most people out there, i do not get enough sleep. most days, i feel like going to sleep at 10pm, but life just will not let me. i guess it would also be good to note that i have spent the better part of the decade sleeping on the floor or sofa. however, sick of not getting good sleep, i finally broke down and bought a nice little cot that i can carry around with me. it is pretty firm and compact, so just the way i like it. actually, now that i think about it, i think my main problem is with waking up rather than sleeping. sleep is a good thing, but in the mornings, i think i would rather lie in bed and daydream. i would say i do that just about as much as i sleep, which would be 3 or 4 hours a day.

my foresight also took into consideration noise, for which i bought some earplugs. although i must admit, i have only used them twice in my life, once for shooting a gun and the other time for a concert. but for the most part, they are not unpleasant, and i can hardly hear myself type right now with them in.

going back to daydreams, sometimes i have difficulty differentiating daydreams from ordinary sorts of dreams. i have all sorts of weird thoughts and stories going on all day and i get the mixed up sometimes. i guess that is why i am trying to keep this blog. i hope that it will help me develop a writer's voice as well as logically focusing my writing instead of having it meander around aimlessly.

well... wish me luck with sleeping for now.
