My Sleeping Schedule is Screwed

Hey guys, it's Aqsa.
So how many of you like to sleep?
I know I do.

I have a lot of stuff going on. I have school stuff including tests and homework (things that take up most of my day), clubs after school on multiple days, and other hobbies. Lately, I've found that I have been stocking up on iced coffee and working until 3 in the morning. Part of this has to do with the amount of things I'm trying to do, but part of this also has to do with me procrastinating.

I don't know about you, but when I'm about to start doing anything, whether writing or doing homework, or whatever, I look at the clock. I say to myself, "Self, you will start doing whatever it is you should be doing at 7:00." Until seven, I spend time mindlessly scrolling through my Facebook feed and BuzzFeed articles. When I look back up at the clock, the numbers 7:01 look back at me accusingly, and that is when I say, "Ah well, I guess I'll start at 7:30." Do you see the problem?

I already come home late, and then I spend another hour procrastinating. Why do I do this? Why?

The problem isn't that I don't want to do the work. I would love to be able to plop down as soon as I come home and finish all my homework in one sitting. I would love to actually be able to work on improving my writing. I would love to dedicate at least an hour everyday to focus on coding. But that just isn't feasible, even when I don't procrastinate. And that is why I am awake at 3 in the morning every night.

I can fix this by a) not doing my homework b) doing my work really quickly without much thought or c) disregarding my extracurriculars altogether. Oh, or stop procrastinating which will buy me at least an hour of sleep.

Long story short, my sleep schedule is screwed. I need to fix it. How? idk. I have only myself to blame.

Bye guys.
