Nocturnal Benefits

A few studies have said that we are able to live on 4 hours of sleep through the Uberman Sleep Schedule. Polyphasic sleep they call it. You're supposed to take 20-30 minute naps around the clock every 4 hours. I would somewhat consider this experiment for the summer, but I know I wouldn't be able to keep the habit up and screw up my sleeping habits to the core. I've been a minor insomniac before, no need for it to be a long-term issue.

I do wonder if I pushed my boundaries a bit more and attempted evening classes, would I be able to survive taking on 20 units next quarter? There are absolutely too many things I want to do and accomplish every time I have a chance to start fresh every quarter. Most it contributes to the school's student checklist for classes. Every check mark I make becomes a gold star and my determination to finish as soon as possible (or on time) heightens the motivation.

In my head it constantly rings, "Two more classes to finish the minor, a handful more to finish the major! Get the degree and I'll be greeted with a different form of freedom." I need to start writing a pros and cons list for the classes and activities I want to take up next quarter. I crave acts of fulfillment a bit too often.

I need to figure out which I should sacrifice...

• Psychology of Statistics (sequence class, need to finish)
  
• Asian American 101 (last major class for minor)
  
• Asian American Public Health (best of both worlds)
  
• Asian American Psychology (best of both worlds)
  
• Social Science 3A (last class for breadth)
  
• Psychology of Violence (good professor)
  
• JumpStart Program with UCI Social Sciences and Education

I'm really only taking two classes that I need for sure (statistics and 3A), wait-listed for another I also need (101), and want to decide on 1-2 more classes. Which? I wish these classes were available during the day. I'll wake up at 6 just to go to an 8 o'clock class just to avoid a class that lasts till 9:50 PM!
