Sleeeeeep

It's funny what a bit more sleep does to your outlook in life, not to mention your skin condition.

I've recently been sleeping earlier, tonight is no exception.

I normally sleep around the 1am, 2am mark, sometimes getting up to 2:30 am and 3 in my quest to both watch tv, read newspapers, study for my 2 uni subjects, complete any assignments, and still try to have a social life by keeping up with the latest goss around town. Add to that eternal, daily housework and the occasional and obligatory nights out with family, friends, and the boyfriend.

It's done me in lately. I used to be (and I feel really old saying this) one of these night-owls who really got to their peak at night, never needed more than 4-5 hours of sleep, had good skin despite it all, and looked fresh and alive. These days I look more run down and tired than a 90 year old. And I can't hack it anymore when I get less sleep - the brain just doesn't want to cooperate (I suspect I actually damaged a few million braincells in uni, what with all the all-nighters). And my face!!! Anyone who's seen me recently will attest to the spontaneous eruption of acne on my once baby smooth (well, at least clearer) face. I blame having to study for all of this, though I know, deep down, that it's the marriage of procrastination and a lack of time management skills that brought me to where I am today.

So I've made another little resolution - sleep before 12, the latest 12:30 am each night and get at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep :)

Living close to work kinda helps too ;)
