Work and sleep: Pros and Cons

Up at 5:15 am and on my second cup of 3-in-1 instant coffee. This is one of the rare instances when I was off to bed before the clock hits the hour before midnight and was perfectly awake after a good 7 hours. Why doesn't this happen more often than needed? I could sleep at 12 but then 9am doesn't seem enough to keep me running about during the day. Maybe I should always get myself some work that would bother me all day and night long. 

I can't say that I am a perfectionist… I really don't think I am, but I couldn't help thinking that sometimes (just sometimes, or is it often?) I'm being too hard on myself. I see every single flaw, every minute detail that needs improvement and it drives me crazy when I notice something that doesn't seem right after a thing has been done. Perfect example is this:

This had been the image lingering on my restless mind during the last few minutes before drowsiness totally overtook me. Somehow I couldn't forgive myself for missing out that "important" detail and I half blame the printing press for not verifying this with me. I did some size adjustment and apparently, I forgot to resize that orange layer. But they should have noticed that it looked really awkward with the rest of the layout! And that image haunted me in my dreams, forcing me to open my eyes way before the sun shines and take another look at it. It's annoying, not to mention the paper. The paper wasn't thick enough but I could forgive myself for that. But that extra image at the back, never! It's too obvious and the fault is entirely on me. (Fellow artists do understand, right?)

Well, at least I'm up early and I still got an hour and half to work out and prepare a decent meal for the day and yea… be in the office at 9am! If only this could happen everyday, sans the sidejob nightmares of course…
