Go to bed before 1 am at least 4 times a week

FAIL!

I find often that I’m struck with this…fear(?) of going to bed too early. I feel I could get something done, or do something more productive by not sleeping, so even when I get the chance I’ll stay up 2 or 3 hours longer than necessary.

On top of that, in those few hours I don’t accomplish anything and only manage to make me even more drowsy the next day (in which I’ll drink coffee and use caffeine as a way to ward off tiredness, which I’m sure is unhealthy).

Maybe it’s that I don’t enjoy sleeping, or the idea of sleep unless I’m really tired….or if I’m doing something boring, and sleeping sounds more appleaing.

I don’t often look forward to sleeping unless I’m dead tired. I like being away, but I don’t want to turn into an insomniac! The only way I catch up on sleep is if I can sleep in on my days off…which doesn’t happen that often anymore.

Rah! I’m just frustrated with myself.

And I’m heading off to bed :)

I’ve been attempting to work toward this goal for quite a few weeks now, and I don’t think I’ve managed it once! In fact, I think I’ve done so badly that a couple of times I’ve went back on a goal I considered already completed (which was getting to bed before 2 at least 4 times a week).

My Aunt suggested that I was going about it in the wrong way. So instead of simply trying to get to bed earlier, I should set my alarm so that I’m waking up earlier. That way, by around midnight, I should be tired enough that I’ll have to sleep.

It’s worth a shot, and honestly, I don’t like sleeping till late in the morning on a regular basis :S
