06/05/25 day 28/30

(4 hrs 26 mins on YPT)

Well the time doesn't actually matter because I studied for two and a half hours at most and after that I got busy with something else and forgot about the timer eeh- (human error -forgive me) Anyways I did maths (inverse trigonometry) and made notes for physics (electric charges).

my new favorite poem ✨

“Since it is now past 2 AM, perhaps it’s time to get some sleep and tackle this tomorrow?”

Especially as a student, it seems necessary to sacrifice sleep in order to study for a test more or get that last homework assignment done, and I get it.

It’s a never-ending cycle— stay up late to study, too tired the next day, procrastinate because you’re tired…

I used to sleep around 8 hours, which is generally the norm, when I found that I was still procrastinating and still tired. I thought that this was due to stress and therefore needed to study more to reduce my stress about upcoming tests. This led to me sleeping 6-7 hours instead.

These past couple of weeks, I’ve decided to listen to my body a lot more, often sleeping 9-10 hours.

I’ve become more productive: being able to work towards my goals without losing out on my health, being more energized, and also having more free time.

It seems counterintuitive, right? Sleeping three hours more should reduce how much I get done in a day, but no. I realized I spend a lot of time while I study being off track or doomscrolling on my phone. This actually is a logical result of being tired— not having enough energy to focus on a task and needing the dopamine in a fast release.

So what do I do if I enjoy working late at night? Especially in high school, there’s strict schedules and timings for when you have to be up so that you can be on time. Unless you can get a prep period, you have to wake up at 7:00 am.

I started taking naps as soon as I get home. If I’m not feeling as if I’ll get anything done, I try to get off my phone and just listen to music or daydream as I try to get a little bit of sleep.

If I keep this up, hopefully Copilot will stop criticizing my sleep habits 😁

regaining momentum ♡

ps: i received roses!

nevermind i resolved it

I SWEAR IT WAS WORKING FIVE SECONDS AGO AAA

it's okay not to be productive some weeks.

i feel like i got so little done this week. i had to ask for an extension on my physics work and my essay in english. i barely managed to finish the work i needed this week. but that's okay. sometimes its good to have mental breaks.

a good advice i was given was to separate the work from relaxation.

when you are studying, you are studying. less distractions when you are working, and good mental breaks (like going outside or grabbing a snack). but when you are relaxing, you are relaxing. don't let the guilt of not getting stuff done eat at you.

put it in your schedule to relax or something, but sometimes you need breaks. sometimes its difficult for me to get up and do work, and i feel horrible for not being able to do that. but at the same time, its a sign that my mind and my body needs the rest.

go to sleep <3
