The night before school starts...
Today was the first day of my college intersession, which is a regular college course, crammed into 6 weeks instead of 16. Last night I told myself, "OKAY. I'm gonna go to bed early and be well-rested for tomorrow!"
Didn't happen. I was lying in bed at 9PM or so, cuddling up to my pillows, and even though I was sleepy, I just couldn't sleep. "I'll pass the time with my DS," and I start playing WarioWare, which did get me very tired, but I wasn't falling asleep. "Perhaps some music will help," I think to myself, picking up my cell phone and turning the mp3 player on loudspeaker with the lowest volume on stuff like The Yoshida Brothers. After an hour with my eyes closed with the soft music playing, it still didn't help. "I'll read for a bit then," so I get the closest art magazine and start flipping though it, but I couldn't concentrate on it much because I was dead tired, so I curled back up in my bed and tried sleeping again. I turned off the mp3 player and just laid there for a while. The time was 2AM, and my alarm was set to go off at 8. I must have been in and out of sleep, but I know for sure that I did not get a good night's sleep. Then I realized that this happens to me every time I go back to school. Even though I go into a "normal" sleep schedule before school starts, the night before it is always a restless sleep. >.< * The night before the first day of school or work or some kind of event, do you get a restless sleep too? * What do you do to try and go to sleep when you have somewhere to go the next morning? |
That always happens to me too. Especially on weekends. I go to bed at the usual 11. Sometimes a bit later since it's a weekend. But Sunday nights I typically don't fall asleep finally until 1 in the morning D:
|
When I started middle school, I didn't fall asleep until 4.
I get up at 6:30. And I'm not friendly in the morning as is. My first thought that morning was "NEED...CAFFINE!" |
I didn't get to have any caffeine this morning. T___T I dozed off while I was taking a shower. Since I was in there for so long, the water turned all cold and that woke me up. @[email protected];

right now i`m working full time at my job and taking night classes.
I really suck at going to bed early alot of nights. I`m a geek...so i play video games, watch tv and play on the internet alot. Usually i have the habbit of when my friends come on msn and talk to me i end up talking for an hour after i planned on going to bed. Usually i fall asleep between 2-3 am because of it and have to wake up at 8 am: just for a 8 hour shift and 2-3 hours of school afterwards. Alot of the time i am always walking around in a daze for the first half of my shift because i`m exhausted....then come the end of my shift, i`m fully awake. Usually i plan ahead to have a nap after work....NEVER works.. :( |
Hehe, every single time, the same thing happens to me too. xD I don't know why, maybe because I can't get used to sleeping so early after so many days of staying up all night. :lol: But last night, I felt that I should just sleep whenever I feel tired... since I'm always twisting and turning the night before the first day of school.... xD

We just went back to school after winter break today. I woke at 4:30 or 4:45 and could not get back to sleep. I think it was because I just did not want to go back to work. When I have trouble getting to sleep, I just stay in bed and hope I go back to sleep, usually I do but not last night.
|
Over the summer, I stay up till 4AM on rare occasions and end up waking up at like 8 or 9AM. >_<
I stay up talking to my best friends; they're almost nocturnal so yeah. You get my point. When I go back to school, it's exciting because we always act like fools on the first day and do a project or whatever. So usually, I want to be well rested for a day of hyperactivity! |
I'm going back to school tomorrow and was unable to sleep well last night. I was laying there for what felt like forever. I eventually fell asleep. I hope I'll sleep better tonight.
As for what I do when I'm unable to sleep, I do nothing. I just lay there with my eyes closed. Usually I'll eventually fall asleep. There was this one point though when I had a really hard time sleeping so I would watch some TV til my eyes became tired and then I would go to sleep. |
I laid in bed around 10, killed a few or so minutes w/
mah DS, but i ended falling asleep at 11:50pm D; i had to wake up at 5:50am, weird thing is that I didn't feel tired when i woke up, but it definately was a restless sleep. Weird enough most of my friends went to bed later than me xDD |
OMG! Same thing happened to me! That was yesterday. I was happy that I was feeling tired around 9:00 (the other days, I went to sleep at like 2:00 AM) and so I 'tried' to go to sleep. I ended up doing crunches O_o.
|
the same thing happens to me, too. i fall asleep way too late, wake up way too early & i get soooo tired during the day.
during my last year of high school, i frequently stopped at the grocery store to buy myself starbucks frappuccinos before class. if i didn't get the caffeine, i'd be a zombie during school and work ;___; |
I don't normally have a problem getting to sleep, it's usually me trying to get myself up. I hate the first days, really, and it's really hard to get myself up that morning :?
|
I usually don't have a problem going to sleep before going back to school. It's just that I always stay up later than I plan to. ^^"
And even when I don't sleep enough, I'm usually sleepy right before lunch or after lunch at around 1. Never at all the other times though...and I get really hyper at night. My body's all wacked up from lack of sleep o__O |
Sounds like me. x]
Except I'm a bit worse. I see the time I'm supposed to be in bed by and this is what I tell myself, "Weeelll, I can extend this for another hour..." XD I also get restless before going back to school or going to an event. My aunt says it's because I'm 'excited'. Though...I don't think I was ever excited to go to school. Excited...not really. xP This happened a couple of nights ago with me. The next day I would go shopping at an actual mall. (Where I live, our mall should not be considered a mall. D<) I couldn't sleep till 2 or 3 and got up at 6 without an alarm. O.o I had two hours to kill before anyone woke up. XD It might have been because it's so noisy (and I'm used to silent nights) but some part of it could have came from the fact I wanted to go shopping. x] I suggest planning on going to bed earlier for a few nights prior to school, instead of the actual last night. I can never do this because I convince myself out of it, but you could try. =P |
well, i usually will get super excited to study, so yea restless sleep XD
its not that i like study, but since its the first day of school ( for the 7th year, 8th year we still get excited XD )..but now ive finished high school..im gonna missed that all D; |
The only times I really had a memorable problem getting to sleep were the night before 6th grade and the night before 9th grade, and both are the start of new schools, so... yeah.
But, okay. Today is the day that we're all supposed to be back in school. My sister comes in about 1:00, crying, because she can't sleep. She came in again at 2:30, and then at 3:00. Finally, I just let her stay in here for 45 minutes or so. The silly child has picked up my nocturnal sleeping habits and didn't bother to try and correct it before school started, so I'm guessing she didn't get to bed until 4:00 at the least. It made me realize I need to readjust for school too.. O_O So I got up at 2:00! I am proud of myself. |
I don't have to go back to school for another week o:
But yeah, I always try to get everything in order and get a good nights sleep, but that never works out. I spend the night tossing and turning, worrying about all things I'm gonna he to do, and when it';s finally morning, I never have everything I need. So I have to spend the morning running around in a panic, still worrying that I don't have everything I need as I walk out the door xP |
t__t;
