I try to get at least seven hours of sleep a day, and when I do sleep I dream like crazy, which means that I'm in deep sleep mode, so no problems there.

Working out is one of those things I have to wait for, unfortunately. My job is very energy-intensive, and odd as it sounds I can't eat enough to sustain both my job and a steady workout regimen. My metabolism, which works kind of like a pencil sharpener, doesn't help in that regard.

The diet could very well be a part of it. I don't eat a lot of veggies, and the past two weeks haven't been very healthy as I had my tongue pierced and was stuck to mostly dairy, pasta and fruits, and not nearly as much protein as I'm used to eating. I lost an inch off my waistline - I didn't think that was even possible when you're as skinny as I am. Junk food has been minimal - I picked up some chips and cookies yesterday, but those are the first I've eaten in a month. I'm sure the healing process for the piercing is yet another drain on my limited energy.
