Opps I Did it Again... Monday, December 6

I slept… I slept a lot today, maybe too much, but when I had blurted out “I wish I could sleep some more” the thought “be careful what you wish for” crossed my mind. No sooner had I made that wish but I got a message. My Samsung VP lunch tutoring gig has been delayed yet again while he sets up his new office. So, with no tutoring to race off to, I went back to sleep. It was surely a blessing in disguise.

I had a five hour nap before racing off to my Church Kiddies in Asan.

All this excessive daytime sleeping doesn’t come without a price however, don’t kid yourself. Falling asleep after boxing, despite being exhausted from the training, consists of me tossing and turning and finally crashing around 2 or 3am. Remember, I wake up at 4:40am for tutoring so falling asleep at 3am means my daytime napping isn’t really napping; it’s my actual bedtime.

My upcoming fight is totally to blame for my completely whacked-up sleeping schedule as is my game diet that's leaving me craving water. Yes, you read that right. I've been craving water. "Why don't you just drink some water Amy", you may say. It's not that easy. In addition to already being small and physically fit, cutting down to a weight that is obviously less than what my body is comfortable at means being pushed into uncomfortable situations. And one of those situations means tweeking my diet even more and lowering my body water weight. Your body is about 60% water, if not more, so the trick is to lower your body water weight and viola, you've just lowered your total body weight. Only one problem though, with a lack of water in your system your normal functioning and thinking goes a bit "local", hence the excessive sleeping I'm experiencing. It's not so much that I'm tired as it is I just am struggling to properly function.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How much sleep is clearly just too much sleep?
