Some people are blessed with the ability to wake up and feel great as they jump out of bed. I am not one of those people. Every night I stay up late enjoying the peace and quiet as I watch a movie or read. And every morning I regret not going to bed earlier. My body has now been programmed to refuse to sleep until at least 2AM These are 25 thoughts every person has who struggles getting to sleep on time and waking up early the next morning.

Tonight’s the night I’m going to bed early.

2. This will be so good for my health.
3. Maybe the perpetual bags under my eyes will finally disappear.
4. I’m just going to watch an episode of "Parks and Rec", and then I’ll go to bed.
5. Netflix started the next episode. It’s too late now to stop.
6. Well, I never caught up on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." I’ll watch that too.
7. Oh shoot, it’s 3AM
8. I wonder if that question I asked in class today sounded dumb..
9. I should probably check my phone for messages, or at least send Emily that funny cat video.
10. My body and mind are strong. I can handle sleep deprivation.
11. What is that noise? Someone turn it off.
12. That can’t be my alarm! I just went to bed 10 minutes ago.
13. Did I fall asleep with my phone on my face?
14. My head feels like it has clouds inside it and my eyes won’t stay open.
15. I hope all the clocks are wrong or I’m going to be late for class.
16. Let me just wipe this drool off my face, put on a sweatshirt, and I’ll be ready to go.
17. There’s my neighbor, who loves mornings more than his mother.
18. Yes hello! Very sunny outside today. I bit too bright if you ask me.
19. Ugh, that was nauseating.
20. Nobody else talk to me. I’ve used up all my morning words.
21. The sun isn’t even at the top of the sky yet. Why am I up?
22. Ok, made it to class with a minute to spare.
23. I need to get caffeinated as soon as possible.
24. If I get home before 5PM, I’ll still have time to take a nap.

Morning and night people will never see eye to eye on this issue. Sometimes I think about how many things I could get done if I didn't have to sleep, and those are exactly the types of thoughts distracting me from sleeping as I'm laying in bed. It's a vicious cycle of wanting to stay up late to enjoy your alone time, and getting mad at yourself the next day for not going to bed earlier. In order to become a morning person, I would have to go to bed at a reasonable hour and drink less coffee, which would be both good for my health and too much effort. Therefore, I will stick to my current sleep schedule and continue to hate mornings.
