Exhaustion

Today, I felt one of those familiar pangs of exhaustion. For the last couple of days, I've been sleeping pretty late, at around one or something. Normally, like a couple of months back, my normal sleeping time was at about 11, and now its been gradually pushed back to 1. That's not good at all. Now, I don't even feel remotely tired at 11. I've been trying to get my sleeping patterns back to 11 but its really really really hard. I try to do it on weekends because its easier. However, when I lie down at 11, I can't even close my eyes.Now its really annoying. So in my World History lesson, I was fighting to stay awake (hard as it was). Then at the end of the day, I had PE and girls basketball training right next to eachother. In PE, we played a game of 'captain ball'. It was really fun, so I got really engaged and ran A LOT. So by the end of the lesson I was dying from the heat and the sweat. Then we had basketball practise. It was REALLY difficult that lesson because we did fitness training. We ran 6 floors of stairs (3 laps), trying to do each in under 2 minutes. Then  we each did 3 sets of pushups and situps (each lasting one minute). By the end, I was dying. So when I came home, the first thing I did, after I took my shower, was crash onto the sofa. I fell asleep for about an hour or so, then my mom came back and told me to get up and do homework. So I got up and went into my room, and before I could even get my homework out, I crashed onto my bed and fell asleep again. I slept for another hour till my mom came in and woke me up again. I had a REALLY hard time waking up; I kept falling back onto my bed. So in the end, after ages of waking up and crashing down, and dinner, it was already somewhere around quarter to nine. So I started homework REALLY late today. But I managed to try to stay really concentrated and finished all my homework. Everyday, I remind myself to concentrate more and turn off facebook and chat and finish homework early so I can go to sleep. But everyday I still sleep really late and put of my 'early sleeping' plan till tomorrow. Its really hard. So now I try to plan out all my homework evenly on eachday in my notebook to make sure I have a fair amount of homework each night, not too much, and not too little. So now I have to go to bed, and try to fall asleep. I really hope I don't push my sleeping schedule any further into the night. The only way I'm managing to stay alive is from sleeping much more than usual on weekends. I know this is really really unhealthy and not a good habit, so I'm going to try to sleep earlier. Starting tomorrow.
