Lucubration

Learnt a new word today.
It describes in one fell swoop my preference for studying in the wee hours.
How cool is that!

lucubration \loo-kyoo-BRAY-shun; loo-kuh-\, noun:
1. The act of studying by candlelight; nocturnal study;
meditation.
2. That which is composed by night; that which is produced by
meditation in retirement; hence (loosely) any literary
composition.

I've juz woken at 4am.
Which meant i've slept for 12 hrs.
This is bad.
My internal clock is all screwed up.
So i'm alive at night,
And zombie by day.
And i do realise that it is very bad for my health.
1st, i dont eat proper meals.
Juz like now,
After missing dinner,
I'm scavenging for food.
And there is none available.
So i'm reduced to eating canned longans and honey stars.
2nd, my eye-bags indicate that i'm not sleeping well.
Or not sleeping at all.
3rd, i'm missing out on all the activities in the day,
Coz i'm sleeping most of the day away.
4th, i'm juz bumming around.
Sleeping and watching Discovery and gaming.
Doing nothing substantive.
I seek a balance.
