i must confess that, despite sleeping a whole lot these days, the moment i attempt to focus on a piece of assignment with an upcoming deadline attached to it, i will involuntarily feel an overwhelming sense of tiredness coming over me.

yet, at the point that i decide to cave in to this overpowering lethargy, as i put everything aside and prepare for bed, i always suddenly find myself wide awake. then, when i decide that perhaps i should go back to my work after all, that strange sense of fatigue comes over me once more. this cycle repeats itself over and over again until simply too much time has been wasted.

i don't know why this happens or how i can curb it. somehow, this doesn't happen, however, the day before a paper is due, even if i sit in front of the compie for hours on end, working continuously through the day and night. how weird.
