Why SO Sleepy???

I have sleep issues.
Last night I believe I fell asleep by 11:30pm because I'm sure I dozed off during Family Guy and woke up some time later to turn off the tv and go back to sleeping. I hit snooze several times this morning and woke up around 7am to get ready for work. I've had at least 3 cups of coffee, but I have been so sleepy this morning! Why? At one point I just had to sit back in my chair and shut my eyes for a few minutes. I got like 7 hours of sleep, which is like AMAZING for me. I think my body demands more sleep, but it doesn't want to go to sleep at night when it should to get the proper amount of sleep for function normally.
Again, last night I got home from rehearsal by 9:30, washed my face, got in my pj's, but I didn't even bother laying in bed yet because I knew I would just lay there unable to fall asleep anytime soon. I had to gather up the trash anyway as today is trash day. Since I waited to get into bed until the latter half of King of Queens (btw I like never watch tv. I have to watch shows I'm interested in online and the only time the tv is on in my house is when the morning news is on in the background while I get ready for work) and shut off my brain it really only took me 30 or so minutes to get to sleep.
Normally there's so much going on in my evenings that I can't even think about getting near my bed until 11pm.

Lets face it, we just don't have enough time. We're at work until 5pm and then we only have after the evening commute to bedtime to live our real lives and that's not even our real lives, that condensed time where you're making, eating and cleaning up dinner, showering, maybe doing laundry, cleaning the house, etc...is that really living? Ok, so the weekends is when we're living? Maybe, but still that gets condensed as well because most people do their laundry on the weekends and cleaning and grocery shopping and other various errands and chores.

How my lack of sleep turned into this I'm not sure, but it's something I think about ever so often. In America we spend more time working than other nations and have no more to show for it. We have shorter maternity leave, less vacation time, longer hours and no siesta yet we make less money than our European counterparts who make free time a more valuable asset to their everyday lives. It makes me think, what are we busting our asses for? Now more than ever Americans are working longer hours, more than one job and taking less vacation time.

When do we LIVE? Work is the time in between my living. A chunk of time robbed of us everyday.

I'll think on this more while I run to the gym over my lunch break since I have rehearsal after work and have to get to bed sometime after that only to wake up and do it again tomorrow until the weekend arrives.
