Weird Schedule

It seems that at about 9 p.m., my allergies stop bothering me and I finally start feeling alert, reasonably energetic, relatively headache-free, and fully brain-functional. Lately, this means I've been staying up until about 2 a.m. (oddly enough, usually working on my major area paper) and sleeping until about 10 a.m. This is sort of bothering me - it's totally out of line with my usual schedule and my current self-conception as more of a morning person - but there is not any real reason that it's a problem since there's no place for me to be at a particular time.

I feel like for minimum allergy suffering and maximum productivity this summer, I could arrange my schedule so I'm awake from about 7 p.m. until 11 a.m.

Or I could go see a freaking doctor about my allergies. (I say "a" doctor because I do not yet have any doctor in NC. I did not have an allergist in Austin, but I think I need to see one. My current regimen of drugs is not doing the trick, even without the rabbit fur / hay problem. The pollen in this state exists in crazy amounts.)

Incidentally, was I the only person who was really annoyed that Al Pacino's character in the movie Insomnia was a supposedly intelligent homicide detective but could not figure out how to darken his room in the 24-hour sun of the Alaska summer so that he could get some sleep? I mean, I get it that the man was haunted and deranged by guilt, so he had other issues affecting his sleep, but I find it frustrating when an adult is so completely incapable of handling such a basic life task.

You know, a basic life task like going to the doctor because your allergies are bad enough that you are contemplating becoming a nocturnal creature against habit and all sense. Argh.
