Perpetual Insomnolence

I don't really know how my wife puts up with my sleep schedule. Before I had met her, sleep did not come often, and it did not stay long. I was sleep's bitch.

2 hours here, 4 hours there. A total of 25-30 in the week. It wasn't a bad way of life. I was always a little tired, but overall, I was fairly satisfied with my way of life. Sleep came second to enjoying the times of the day that most people take for granted and spend snoring, or kicking their partners.

I used to like to think of the myriad of possibilities of things I could have been doing at that time, sitting there... wide awake, believing that I might actually fuel enough motivation to get away from the tv/pc and do something constructive. Not by choice.

I'd rather have been sleeping.

I've been married for 2 months now. In my new house just the same. Exhausted all the time. Not because of marriage or the house. But because of the schedule I run. The job I have. I used to work from 1pm to 11pm or so... Now I work a 7 to 4:30. Where I used to go to sleep at 6am and wake up at nine, I find myself in bed and tucked in by 10 pm.

I sleep almost twice as much as I used to, now.

What does that mean? Am I healthier?

Or am I just wasting my time?
