Sleep Deprivation

So I had to be up today at 7:30 for SPT training up at Seven Springs, for my winter job in the terrain park. I think I'm sucking down a bit too much caffeine, because after trying to fall asleep at 1:00 am, I watched two and a half movies, chugged two cups of supposedly relaxing, calming tea, and could not fall asleep. I think 4:30 had come and gone by the time I finally passed out.

Now I'm trying to fight back the urge to collapse on the couch or crawl into bed, because in 2 hours, I need to go to the pizza shop and work until 1:30 AM. If I get it right and manage to stay awake, I'll crash as soon as I get home, wake up early tomorrow, and get back on a normal sleep schedule.

See, when I'm not working a morning job, I'm instinctively awake until 3 or 4. I don't know why, but I think it has to do with the fact that I habitually sleep in. It's not uncommon that it'll be 2:00 in the afternoon when I wake up. Then I go to work, come home, wind down, and winding down inevitably ends up with me getting stoked on something and not wanting to go to sleep. Then, the next thing I know, it's 4:00 am and the cycle repeats itself.
