Siouxsie & The Banshees, 'Belladonna'
In view of the fact that fate has decided to give me a slap around the head (see previous post) and is telling me 'Stop burning the candle at both ends, you stupid cow, you can't do everything on next to no sleep and get away with it forever!', I've had to have a review of what I spend my time on and see what I can cut out.
It's got to the stage where I've realised I really have to do something about it - I've been averaging about 5 hours' sleep a night for the last few years (what with everything I've been attempting to cram into my life), and I can't keep this up forever, especially as I'm by inclination a 8 or 9 hours' sleep a night person, given the chance.
A major cause of what's knackering my sleep patterns is the time I spend on LJ - pretty much a minumum of 2 or 3 hours a night, and since I often don't manage to get online till about 11pm, and the alarm is set for 06:15 am, you can see that this is not good.
So, I've had to be really ruthless with myself, and do my first friends list cut since I joined LJ. I've taken off about two-thirds of my friends, and stopped watching practically all my communities.
If you're one of those who didn't make the cut, I'm sorry - if I had more time to spend online you would still be there, as I wouldn't have friended you in the first place if I didn't find you likeable and interesting. It's just that some of you I don't interact with so much these days, and I had to be drastic. All the best. It's been fun.
