Blah blah blaaaahh
I’ve been suspecting that I have delayed sleep phase syndrome, where my body clock doesn’t exactly like to go to sleep at 11pm, but I instantly fall asleep during the afternoon. It’s a horrendously annoying thing, especially during schooltime, where afternoon classes are the norm. Without some caffeine I can’t function in the afternoon, and sometimes caffeine doesn’t work too.
I’ve been trying out chronotherapy, so I’m extending my bedtime by two hours every day until the 11pm desired bedtime is reached. As of now, my bedtime’s 12pm in the afternoon… I have another 11 hours to go. Hopefully this’ll get my body clock functioning on US time.
Some time ago I asked if winter was really that bad. The answer is a resounding YES. There is a maximum of 6 hours of daylight on any given day, and you can bet that 5 of those 6 hours will be cloudy. You don’t see any sun at all, and it is, surprisingly, rather depressing. I remember reading up on seasonal affective disorder in NUS, where it states that some people get depressed during the winter because there isn’t enough sunlight, and I thought it was a whole realm of weird. But HEY, it’s true! WAO.
I don’t think I’m actually seriously down or anything, but it does sullen your mood a little, and you don’t really have much motivation to go outside. Not to mention that since I’m trying to change my sleeping schedule, I wind up sleeping through the sunny bits of the day, and I’m faced with pitch black outside for the next 16 hours.
I’ve been wasting my time slugging away on Kingdom Hearts, hoping to finish that game as soon as possible. Oh right, and art update (CS3 performs so much better on my computer than CS2 did). I’m still not getting hair at all, and I haven’t finished detailing the waves… although I think they look kinda fake and nothing can save it. But still! IMPROVING. EVERYONE SAID SO.
I think it’s kinda awesome to see works in progress. It’s fun to see where you started and how you’ve been trodding along so far. ^^ Let me show you it.
