I remember the days, reading under the blanket, with a flash light... Just wanting to finish that one chapter, meanwhile finishing the whole book. Then unable to sleep as I was digesting it all. And getting up at 7 to go to school again, after 3 or 4 hours of sleep...

Actually, I could keep awake much longer when I was younger. During my student days, I'd keep up all night (so, I love to play computer games and Civilization is highly addictive!) only to find out I stayed awake the whole night because the birds started to sing again

Right now, I usually go to bed at 21:30, read for an hour (or until I notice my PDA keeps turning off because I'm not reading fast enough) and get up at 06:00.

But, holiday is coming up, and I'll probably be in bed by 20:00 and awake by 7:00 then. That Swiss air always make me sleep so very well.
