Ah, the joys of being an insomniac

Ever since my second semester at BYU-Idaho, I've worked a 4 a.m. custodial job on campus on and off over the years. I've only successfully done it for an entire school year once. Now that it is my final semester and I graduate in 59 days (that's right, but who's counting anyway), I'm finding it harder to find the motivation to wake up at 3:30 in the morning 5 days a week. The main problem I've been having this semester is going to be before 11:30 at night. Even when I get to bed before midnight, I have this bout of insomnia that prevents me from falling asleep for a couple of hours. This in turn gives me only a couple hours of sleep before the dreaded alarm clock going off at 3:30. To compensate, I've been taking naps after work. This has worked in the past, but I have 7:45 or 8:00 class three days a week and I've been missing class. My homework has been suffering and I've not been making it to the temple as often as I like. All in all, this past week I decided I should probably quit soon. I used all of my alloted miss days for this job already and it's not fair to the other workers and to my supervisors to have someone not showing up regularly. I weighed my options after I filed my taxes from last year and was debated between quitting this coming friday or waiting until the end of the month. I decided I should mull it over during the weekend, but as I got into work friday morning, I found myself telling my supervisors that my last day was the coming friday. I told myself it wouldn't be that hard working for another week, but it has only been a day and I'm dying. I didn't fall asleep until after 2 yesterday morning and went to work still. I had a class at 11:30 and almost missed it because I didn't want to wake up from my nap (if that can even be construed as a nap . . . more like a continuation of my sleep). I didn't even get homework done until a couple of hours ago because I took another nap in the afternoon. I've decided tonight that I'm not going back into work. Sleep and school and more important to me and I'm getting a pretty good tax return. Frugality will have to prevail for the rest of the semester. I hope I find a job after I graduate . . . .
