Well, that's an understatement. However, one must pay the bills somehow :P I did manage to get 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night, so maybe it's something else. Maybe I'll find out in the next few years. Hmm … so working as a language instructor is leaving me feeling unfulfilled? Well, that’s an understatement. However, one must pay the bills somehow :P

These days, I get 5 or 6 if I'm lucky. I guess it's just hard for me to sleep if I haven't accomplished everything I wanted to for the day. I slept the best when I was in university. I majored in physics and would spend hours each day working over theory and homework in textbooks and writing up lab reports (after finally making sense of the data). I guess the satisfaction of solving difficult problems after toiling away for hours, and sometimes days, left me able to close my eyes and embrace the nothingness. No advice, though. Sorry.

I couldn't imagine not drinking for more than 90 minutes. Even if it's just water, I need to keep hydrated. The only time I could go for any amount of time without drinking was if I were watching lots of movies, or an incredibly gripping documentary with Neil Degrass Tyson or Michio Kaku. Maybe I'll take up knitting. Doing crosswords in Japanese might be just as effective, too :P Hmm … I couldn’t imagine not drinking for more than 90 minutes.
