When Thom and I visited my parents last month, my mom, always worrying that I don’t get enough sleep, asked him, “Does Jeff stay up too late on the computer?” Thom and I looked at each other. We had to laugh. He replied, “I’m the wrong person to ask.” True. For instance, earlier tonight we finished watching The Amazing Race on TiVo at about 12:30 a.m., which we both acknowledged was rather late. It’s a school night, after all. Bedtime, right? Well, we kind of shrugged and just went back to our computers (or rather, Thom had been sitting at his computer desk the whole time we were watching TV; I got up from the futon and went to the dining room table where my iBook is). I’ve been trying (not very hard, apparently) to reform my sleeping habits, but at heart we’re both such night owls.
No, I am not checking my e-mail again. Okay, maybe just one last time.

I used to be a night owl (read: college). But the last few years I’ve noticed I’m in bed by 9-10 p.m. on school nights; later on weekends. Gotta get my beauty rest, or I get cranky. 🙂
