To my beloved and neglected sleep schedule,

I wish to sincerely apologize for neglecting you as of lately. As a college student, I'm not sure it can be helped, though it should be better next semester (though I did think the same thing last semester).

I wish we could go steady, but I've started seeing other naps. I know that I should be sleeping at about 8 hours a day and at night, but it just isn't happening. I have too much schoolwork, extra-curricular activities, and too little time. I've tried scheduling around the issue, but it hasn't worked yet.

I wish the day was 30 hours, but alas, it's only 24. There's just too much to do and too little time. Unfortunately, that usually means cutting time that I would have spent sleeping. When I have the choice to write a paper or go to sleep before one in the morning, the paper almost always wins.

It's not that I don't know the importance of sleep, it's that I just don't have time.

So odds are, I will keep neglecting you, dear sleep schedule. I hope one day in the future we can reconcile.

Maybe we could meet up over winter break?

Sincerely,

Someone who wishes you were still around
