My first week at the new job is finished.
I can now go into the system and change an address.
An awful lot of my "training" right now involves me sitting and watching people do stuff. Which would be even better if my brain would stop going into "sleep mode" all the time. I've tried coffee, I've tried TWO teabags, I've tried sugar ... really there's nothing that can keep me awake except moving around and doing something.
It would make more sense to me if I were getting an insanely tiny amount of sleep, but I'm not. The latest I've gone to bed is 11:00. Mostly it's been anywhere from 9-10:30. One day I woke up at 7 due to an alarm mishap, so I even got an extra half hour of sleep that day. And yet ... every single day I am sooooo sleepy. All day.
I keep hoping my brain and body will get used to it, but I remember that summer where I had two summer classes in a row (that is, two sessions one after the other) that were both early. I had to get up at 7 allllll summer to do Hawaiian Studies and then Pre-modern Japanese Literature. My body never got used to it, and once that summer was over my circadian rhythms went right back to their preferred "wake up at 10:30" cycle. And the weird thing is that I can go to bed at 2 in the morning and wake up at 10:30, but if I go to bed at 10 in the evening and try to wake up at 6:30? NOT THE SAME THING.
Ugh.
So this weekend is dedicated to sleep.
Sleep! That's where I'm a viking!
