Sleeping and Relaxing

My pictures above are self-explanatory- I'm getting comfortable or I'm knocked out.


"I have had a good night's sleep ever since that final in Spanish." "Sleep is something that you do for recreation." "Sleep is my antidote for all things at college." "I think that the bed is a good place for me after class." "After I go to sleep, I think I will take a nap." "Sleep is something to be desired especially after that three hour discussion class." If you know about any of these scenarios or if you can make up a scenario like that, you know what it is like to be a college student at Ohio Wesleyan.

On average, I get four to six hours of rest a night. This is the average amount of sleep the average college student with six classes gets. I also tend to dream about material that I study about in classes. My dreams are pretty weird- they have loops and variants interloping with tangents and derivatives, conquistadors with Englishmen they would never hang out with otherwise, and other crazy dreams that are just so out here.

Anyway, I am not in my room most of the day so you will likely see me studying one minute then passed out in any place that is not a health hazard (i.e. someone's futon, desk, floor would be where you can spot me.) On the days that I have to write a lot for my classes, you can definitely find me taking a nap (or several) next to my drafts. I don't mind sleeping but sometimes I wish I could make it happen less often for the amount of reading, writing, and speaking I need to be able to do is an insane amount.


Like most people, I like to be comfortable when I am sleeping. I like nice, thick blankets. I like big, fluffy (for the lack of a better word at this time) pillows that gives my head support. I like any other things that will help me sleep better. I think every college has to have this in order to be successful in his classes, unless you are a total machine that only needs lubrication. Don't get it twisted; I can work like a robot, but when I see one of the Small Living Units or a fraternity house and I am dead tired, you can guarantee you can find me perched on a couch or a bed. I NEED REST TO GET GOOD GRADES HERE. Believe that.


Alright, I am not going to keep you long; I have to reading the Odyssey, a book about Christopher Columbus, and a course packet from one of my history courses. Oh, and of course, I am going to be watching the Bears and the Colts for the Super Bowl duke it out on that big screen plasma T.V. Yeah! That's enough of my shenanigans for the day.



Take care of your bodies,
