What do you wish you could do more every day?

If I’m being honest, I wish I could sleep more during the day. The problem is that most of the time, the sleep I do get is interrupted by the need to do something at a specific time. This could be to get up in the morning to call mom and take my shower, ETC. Also if I take a nap during the day, it is always with the need to get up at a certain time to catch a bus I might have, ETC. Pretty much, anytime I go to sleep, I always get less sleep than I intend to and never wake up exactly when I want to even when I try to take a nap. My alarm is always set each time I’m sleeping whether this is at night or not. If I’m really tired, then any down time I have prior to doing something is spent sleeping. Therefore, I never really have time to do anything else other than use my computer and I can really only watch any sort of tv at night due to me always having to sleep during the day. You may have noticed recently that all of the movies I’ve reviewed have been seen at the theatre and not at my house. This is because I have not watched a single movie that I have available to me on a streaming service or any of my DVD’S recently due to lack of time and energy. When I do watch tv it’s basically YouTube I watch more than anything else and when I’ve been on Netflix, I’ve watched Wrestling but even that has been lacking lately as at night I’ve found myself being too tired to get through a full Wrestling show, be it a PPV or a weekly show. I’m not the kind of person to start watching something and pick up where I left off each time I have to pause it or turn it off. For me, it has to be that I’m able to watch something from start to finish otherwise I cannot keep up with it. Therefore, if I’m too tired to watch something or if I know at some point during the viewing of whatever I’m watching, I will have to turn it off before it ends, then I don’t bother even turning it on. Having said that, there’s been a few times where I’ve had to turn something off after starting it. This has been particularly when something unexpected happens. In those cases, whatever is currently being watched is started over from the beginning as if it had not been watched yet no matter how far into it I am. I keep saying each night that I will watch (insert show tonight,) but always fail to do so due to built up fatigue or lack of time due to other engagements. What I really need is a few good days where I’m not tired and have nothing to do which would enable me to watch more tv. Now that I’m on the topic, I have to say I’m a little surprised and disappointed in myself at the lack of time I have spent watching Wrestling since it’s been on Netflix. I have said in years past that if Wrestling specifically was ever available on Netflix, I would watch it for hours on end and I would never go out as watching it would replace that in terms of my favorite thing to watch ETC. Well now that it’s here, I haven’t even watched half of the available shows on Netflix and I feel like I need to start to. However, I know that even more than that I need to watch more movies at home as I have stacks of DVD’S including new ones that I recently bought, (which mom says I don’t even need as I have so many that I already don’t watch,) that have not been seen or reviewed yet. Specifically, I said that I would like my next review from home to be on the 2004 movie “Eurotrip” which I have on DVD and I would do this review as a tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg. I know I said in previous reviews that it would be my next one but I just haven’t had the time to watch it. Soon enough, I will though. I realize now that I have gotten a lit bit off topic but I guess you could say that I could watch more tv as this was implied throughout half of this response but the main thing I could do more of in my life is sleep. No matter how hard I try, there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to do that at least where I’m concerned.
