Ding Dong Biological Clock

My biological clock has always been tuned differently from the average person. I'm pretty much a nocturnal and sleeping at 3am is pretty much the norm, regardless of which time zone I'm in.

However, I always push the mechanics of my body and biological clock further during assignment and exam period by sleeping and waking at odd timings. I slept at near 5am yesterday and woke up at 11.30am, then I napped from 11.30pm to 1.30am. Now, after supper/breakfast, I'm feeling wide awake. I hope that I can function optimally for another 2 hours before I recharge myself for the day.

Unlike a lot of people who sleep and wake at a stipulated time, regardless of how little or much they have rested, I am thankful to be able to sleep and wake as and when I'm please. Sort of, as I find myself thinking a lot before dozing off for the past few days (hence taking a longer time to drift off to sleep). It could be a combination of my biological clock protesting and the pre-exams jitters. I think I've been pushing my body way too hard. It deserves a good rest after Friday.

From Saturday onwards, I want to live the life of a so-called normal person and quit being nocturnal. I aim to sleep at 12am everyday and the latest, by 2am. Hopefully, I can adjust my biological clock back to normal before the end of my mid semester break.
