I Live in a Different Time Zone

** i depart to campus and go back home almost daily just like my other friends.  i set my alarm at normal wake-up time just like others (though i usually wake up later than the time set on my alarm ^^v).  i have my meals at about the same time as the people around me.  (ignore the fact that i skip meals every now and then when i get a little too busy.)  i have my watch and cellphones set to the correct Malaysian Standard Time.

however...
there's one thing that doesn't seem to fit with the timing that i'm supposed to live in.  [--- i don't know how else to construct this sentence.  that's why it might sound odd and out-of-meaning.  how do you "live in" a "timing"?  see?  odd, right?  sorry! :/]  that one thing....is my sleep/ nap time.  in fact, i seem to interchange those two.  sleeping should take a longer time than taking a nap, right?  but i tend to have my nap longer than my usual sleeping time period.  not every day, but it happens a few times a week, especially on weekdays.  when i'm so occupied with assignments or tutorials or tasks, i either sleep very late or wake up very early.  it's not always due to having tasks.  sometimes, i sleep at the wee hour of the morning simply out of habit.  before i sleep, i usually read magazines, watch TV, listen to songs (and sing along as if no one can hear me at 2.00 AM - sorry, neighbours~  please don't move because of me.), or just sit on the couch or **lie on my bed without doing anything else for up to an hour.  yes, i'm weird!

as a current example, i just woke up from my supposed-to-be nap two hours ago and it's 4.26 AM as i'm typing this right now.  i went to my bedroom when i arrived home after class in the early evening.  i didn't plan to nap THAT long.  i didn't even have my dinner.  my family members did wake me up, or should i say, they did try to wake me up a few times, but their effort came to no avail.  i kept sleeping.  :D  once i woke up just now, i had my shower.  then, i ate the food that was left on the dining table for me.  now, i can't go to sleep when everyone else is sound asleep.  they'll wake up soon, perhaps.  what's more...it's the weekend!  why am i up early in the morning??  this is unacceptable!  xD  maybe i'll take this opportunity to complete my assignments, or part of them.

the bottom line is, i have an uncertain sleeping time.  it's not healthy, i know.  i'll try my best to care more about my sleeping time.  no promises, though.

sleep well, everyone!

extras:
** it's grammatically wrong to repeat the same word as the first word in a sentence for 4 times in a row.  my English teacher (when i was in school) once mentioned that the maximum number of time is 3, but it's safer to limit it to 2 times.  so, i'm using the wrong way here by repeating "i" four times straight.  since it's just a blog's post and not something formal, i just go ahead with it.

** do you know the difference between "lie on bed" and "lay on bed"?  to "lie on bed" means that one is being on the bed on his or her own effort and will.  to "lay ___ on bed" means to put something or someone else on the bed, and not oneself.  i get confused all the time, so i just want to get it clear.  :)
