It’s difficult to transition from college time to normal time.
At college, going to bed around 2am was normal. That’s 2am on weeknights. Towards the end, I went to bed at 3-4am, sometimes later.
Why? I don’t know. I think I became sort of nocturnal. Sometimes it’d be that I was doing homework. At other times, I just piddled around.
I found out that my dorm was at its most quiet around 5am. It was nice. Unfortunately, I was never able to be up at 5am because it meant I’d have stayed up all night, or woken up early. Neither was very enjoyable.
Now that I’m at home, I realize how much my circadian rhythm was affected. My parents go to bed at 10pm. Once, they wanted to watch Becoming Jane, but when I told them it was 9pm and the movie took 2 hours and 35 minutes, the plan was quickly abandoned.
Even Ryan goes to bed around 10-11.
So now I’m all out of whack. At first, I was sleeping entirely during the day and staying up all night. Now, it’s getting better. I still have a ways to go.
