Am I exempt from having to read that book?

I will exempt you this one time, but I do not want to see you in my office again! Is that understood?

It should be noted that currently my brain interprets all requests for me to do stuff as requests for me to stay up when I should be sleeping.

It that case, you are hereby commanded to initiate your sleep cycle immediately.

The interesting issue is that, since this requires getting up, going upstairs, brushing teeth, etc., I fear the twinge of starting, and end up with an aversion to going to sleep as well.

If you really need to be sleeping, just relocate yourself to bed and crash. You can brush your teeth in the morning. (Alternately, decide how many more hours of sleep you're willing to skip in exchange for the chance that you will eventually decide to brush your teeth.)

Interruptions will prevent me from sleeping for about another half-hour. I have a planned schedule to reflect this. The chance that I will follow this schedule is high.

ETA: 90% of the work of this process is getting up, not the brushing the teeth bit.
