a mediocre dreamer

It's amazing the things I can convince myself to do or not do. Those little people on my shoulders are becoming increasingly persuasive.

Internal Barter #1
Voice A: I'm sleepy, but I should study.
Voice B: If I nap with my glasses on, I am sure to wake up shortly from the discomfort.
Result: A lengthy snooze and frames permanently askew.

Internal Barter #2
Voice A: I'm sleepy, but I should study.
Voice B: If I nap with all of the lights on, I am sure to wake up shortly from the glare.
Result: A lengthy snooze and an outstanding electricity bill.

Internal Barter #3
Voice A: I'm sleepy, but I should study.
Voice B: If I nap in an uncomfortable position without a blanket or pillow, I am sure to wake up shortly from the unpleasantness.
Result: A cold, painful, yet still lengthy snooze.

Any or all of the aforementioned arguments occur on a daily basis despite repeated accounts of the same end result. The sad reality is I hardly ever go to sleep on purpose.
