Insomnia?

For the past couple of nights, I've been feeling wide awake. I check the time and its 3 AM and I don't feel tired at all. I check the clock again and its 4 AM, still not a sign of tiredness. Then around 5 AM, I try to force myself to go to sleep, but just end up rolling around in bed. It's 6 AM and the Sun is beginning to rise. It feels like I'm studying for a midterm or something because I usually don't stay up this late . I close my eyes, control my breathing, and try to relax, and eventually, I would fall asleep, but only for a few hours. Tonight is the third night and it is 3:36 AM and im still wide awake. I wonder what time I'll be sleeping tonight. The odd thing is that when I wake up, I feel refreshed. I don't even consider it "sleeping," it's more like "napping." Possibly a power nap?

Anyways, I think whats keeping up these past couple of nights is college. Since I dropped from being a biochemistry major, I don't know whether or not I want to transfer back into it with a different emphasis or not. I am positive that I want to major in science, but I don't know if biochemistry is the right choice for me. When Spring quarter ended and summer began, I was positive that I wanted to transfer back into biochemistry with a medical science major, so I didn't think much about it, but after doing some research on careers in science, I don't think a career in pharmacy is what I want to do anymore. As a child, I have always wanted to become a pharmacist, it was sort of my "dream job." I sometimes question whether I have the motivation, determination, and devotion needed to persure such a career. It's six to eight years of schooling. Do I have enough drive to stay in school for that long? I don't know...
