Sleep, perchance to hit some sort of mental jackpot

[elainegrey]

I just read an article that someone at meeting shared with a few of us about depression. It's a personal reflection, and the author goes on a bit about how everyone she's known who have been depressed have, like her, found it hard to get out of bed and sleep in.

My sleep dysfunction goes the other way. I want to go to bed. I think part of the mental construct is that i've "failed" at today, let's just get it over with.

I think i will go to sleep and (in my classic fashion) get up early. I know i feel guilty about not writing a document: i won't have it written before work, either. (There, i set a reasonable expectation.)

Remaining awake, however, isn't going to be productive. I shan't sit here and refresh LJ then FB then twitter then LJ over and over. (In grad school, Usenet was *perfect* for cycling through. By the time i'd finished all my news groups, there were fresh articles in the alt.* groups.)
