sleep is wasting 1/3 of your life. humans should sleep for 8 hours per day but 1 day has only 24 hours. if we adhere to 8 hours, we are wasting 1/3 of our life. think of all that could be accomplished while we dream. this summer when i took a class with music professor david cope, i learned that he does not sleep much. neither did local percussion guru lou harrison. using prolific people as inspiration can sometimes be a greater burden to the ego because you will probably never achieve what they have, but i am trying to sleep less and achieve more. i am trying to live by that old adage "never put off today what you can do tomorrow". however, it is very tiring. playing video games when you should be working doesn't help either! not sleeping enough caught up to me. last night i went to bed around 8pm and didn't get up until 7am. even though i went to bed so early i was still late to work. i just wanted to continue sleeping. that is dangerous. i still need to work on forcing myself to get up. i shall just have to try harder.
