So, I've been working a lot recently. Like, all-the-time a lot. I go from one job to another, getting home around 10:00pm (if I'm lucky) or 12:00am (if I'm not so lucky). So, needless to say, I haven't been getting as much sleep as I'm used to.
I know, I know, I know. You're thinking "Abby. You just graduated. You've had plenty of sleepless nights, why are you complaining about these ones? Shouldn't you be used to it by now, yah betch?" You'd think so. But, truthfully, I got used to my summer schedule--waking up at 7/8, getting home by 6 and then hanging out. I (idiotically) thought that the sleepless nights were behind me. Oh. So. Dumb.
However, being so exhausted actually has been letting me sleep like a rock--which is nice--until this past week. When I've been waking up at 4:00am every morning. I don't know why. It's not light out, there's not a noise that wakes me up, or a ghost prodding me in my sleep. It's just my silly internal clock being all "Oh Hai! Good Morning! You wanted to sleep an extra 3-4 hours before work? WHY!? There's so much to do, including: staring at the ceiling, organizing the files on your computer, making a super awesome new playlist, generally hating the fact that you are awake, and don't forget the ever present subconscious nag--apply for jobs! Apply for jobs!"
Hopefully future employers when getting my cover letters written at 4:30 am take that as a sign of an ability to work hard and not stop until a job is complete, not the rando psycho ramblings of a 20-something who didn't (and isn't going to) get enough sleep for the past few weeks (and years).
I need a nap.

Yeah. My internal clock thinks that this is funny. It isn't.
