Short Nights

Sometimes the nights are too long, I wake up with hours of darkness to go but I'm ready to start the day. There's nothing particularly on my mind, and I'm not abnormally excited for the coming day I just slept a few hours and I guess that's enough. 

I'm up and ready to begin. What I'm up so eagerly to start, I don't know. I'm not all too sure of what I do know in cases like these. It's still so early (or late, however you perfer to see it) that I'm moderately tired enough to not really be able to sort through my own thoughts, do some heavy thinking, or really write anything of substance. I try to get up and just get moving. It's better to start the day a little too early than it is to sulk around in bed awake for a few hours. 

Writing out my thoughts helps me the most. Writing or saying any thoughts makes them seem tangible and easier to wrap my head around and work with. Though this is all just a string of whatever is coming to mind as I sit in bed at 4am, it starts to wake me up mentally. I think this state of mind between being asleep and awake is my least favorite mindset. My head is awake, up and racing- so I know there's no sleeping anymore, but my head isn't awake thinking on anything specific. It's up but not awake. Racing, but about what? 

Did you know that this average teenager's mind (I think teenager), isn't really awake until 9am? Those 7am classes are really a struggle. Looking at this bright screen is the pitch black has tired out my eyes. Maybe I can still salvage a few hours of sleep.
