Slowly stepping back.

Back, meaning earlier, in order to get more sleep. I have long ranted on my apparent inability to create better sleeping habits. Lately, however, my degenerating clarity has started to really affect me. It has certainly affected my outward appearance but that is the least of its detrimental effects. And I don't get enough naps to really soften the blow very much. Thus... tonight, I retire earlier than usual. It might only be a few minutes earlier but it still feels like a victory to me.
