Circadian Chaos

Circadian. I wonder who coined this term. Oh damn... now I am tempted to look it up on the net. Wait...

Origin: 1955–60; from Latin circā about + di(és) day


Hmmm... Not a really old word, then. But sounds weird none the less. Like cicada, which I know is an insect. I know a lot of irrelevant stuff. Damn, I am now tempted to look this up as well! Hold on again...

Origin: 1350–1400; Middle English from Latin cicāda


Well... Cicada is an older word then. I know the comparison is like comparing apples to oranges, and as such doesn't have any substance to it. I recently read a report about how similar apples and oranges are, and that comparing apples to oranges isn't as dissonant as is thought to be. But then, language takes its own liberties...

Anyway, about circadian rhythms and the chaos thereof that has set itself in my life. I wonder how chaos can set into my life... I mean, its chaos after all! It isn't supposed to "set into" of all things!

Damn... Onto the subject finally... Circadian rhythm is the bodily sleep cycle. Mine is chaotic.

I guess you can understand why...
