So, I’ve been meaning to readjust my sleeping pattern for… years? Jesus, k, well… It’s definitely one of my more difficult vices to wrestle with. Maybe this will help: Yesterday evening around 6 pm, I felt overcome by a wave of fatigue out of nowhere. Thought to myself that it’d be a fine time to take a nap. Heck, even slept in my clothes with the intent of getting up again before 9, probably.

Didn’t.

Instead, I slept right through the night, but not without tossing and turning, waking briefly a few times and checking in with myself as to whether or not I was going to keep sleeping or if I felt the need to get up before the morning (proper) came around. I held out. I managed to resist waking up fully right through ’till about 30 minutes ago, at which time, I nom-chomped an apple and then set out to boast to the world that my lazy sleeping habits must surely now be behind me!

Well, that remains to be seen. Sure, it’s not easy to force yourself to sleep an additional 6 hours above the threshold of already being “well rested”, and certainly, having done so will now make it infinitely easier to be asleep again tonight before midnight, but is that what’s going to happen? Even if it does tonight, is that what is going to happen consistently for a period of at least, what is it, 28 days or something?

Anyways, the plan for today at least is to publish this, get a bit more food into me, and then go for a hike in the trails around my neighborhood as the sun rises, ’cause I haven’t done that more than once in years, and the last time was on a drunken adventure with my best friend in Toronto (good times, that). This time, it’s gonna be for my personal enjoyment, with the intent to connect a bit more with what land the city I live in has tried to preserve, and what better way than with a mobile sun salutation while I’m at it?

Maybe I’m still lazy, or maybe it’s smart, but who’da thunk that taking one extended nap would potentially lead to hitting three birds (sleep adjustment, physical and spiritual exercise) with one useful accident?
