Last night was a long study night. With a 10-page paper, a final, two assignments due and my sorority’s formal between now and Tuesday, sleep just wasn’t an option.
Yes, I should have planned better, but I procrastinated and had a lot of work to finish before the night was over.
I don’t know how I had the energy to do it, but I stayed up until 5 a.m. doing work. I think that is a new record, and I am not proud of it.
Despite going to bed so late, I was determined to wake up early and go to the gym.
When my alarm went off at 9 a.m. this morning, I got out of bed and went to the gym on four hours of sleep.
Bad idea.
I don’t even know if my workout was worth it. I felt so tired the whole time and didn’t have motivation to push myself until I was already 30 minutes into my cardio.
Yes, it picked up from there, but I left feeling unaccomplished.
If your body is telling you to sleep, you should sleep. I think I just hurt myself if anything.
Usually when I get home from the gym I’m awake and energized, but today I came home and crashed.
The moral of the story: don’t procrastinate, and be well rested before hitting the gym.
