Really feeling that 'they should invent a staying up late that doesn't mean getting less sleep' post today.

And even though I KNOW in my head that sleep makes me feel better, there's a cycle that goes like this:

*I get into the habit of getting a regular amount of sleep
*I feel like I can handle things!
*Feeling like I can handle things starts feeling normal
*I think 'it would be fun to stay up a bit later and keep [reading, crafting, whatever]'
*it is fun!
*I keep doing it
*I am no longer getting a regular amount of sleep
*I no longer feel like I can handle things
*getting into the habit of sleeping more is one of those things I feel like I can't handle
*eventually I will pummel my brain into doing it anyway

Or, the short version:

*I stopped doing the thing that made me feel better, and now I feel worse
*BY TALOS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
