I tried going to sleep earlier (~10pmish) cause I was tired. I also thought it was a good opportunity to shift my sleep cycle around. Needless to say, if you look at the entry time of this blog, it didn’t work. It happens every single time I go to sleep several hours early. I always dream a lot and wake up a lot in-between and then I finally wake up only to find out I’ve only slept for 3 or 4 hours. This time I had a dream I was in a local (non-franchised, I think for some reason) fast food resturaunt where people were having a hotdog(?) eating contest. People were talking about the record being 300 hotdogs and had crazy stories like the hotdog poking out of people’s stomachs and that the trick was to ignore the pain and continue eating. Anyways as the dream shifted around, I found myself in a hotel bed. It was nighttime and I was tossing and turning trying to get to sleep as I drifted in and out of dreams(?) where I was singing parts of Handel’s Messiah at a cathedral. Then I was back in the hotel room where I had to wake up early to talk to my dad who was elsewhere (Apparently, we were on vacation and my mom who was sleeping on the bed next to me told me this.) So I get up and walk out and then I walking into a dorm which housed incoming freshman and I was living there yet I was an upperclassman. I still had to go meet my dad, but it was like move-in day and I hadn’t claimed a desk or something. (cause the place I lived in had several people and I guess we had to claim our stuff). Then this guy busts out these huge sunglasses (like 2ft diameter lenses) and was figuring out the case that came with it. Something stupid and technical how it could block out more light in one lens if you attached it a certain way.

The I woke up. I remembered reading somewhere about messed up sleep patterns and how when you wake up in the middle of the night, your body is warm due to REM sleep. Yeah, I was feeling pretty flushed. So to tie it all together, I burped and smelled the smoked sausage that I had for dinner. sausage = hotdog? No more sausages and sleeping early for me anymore.
