Sleep well

I got woken by the fire alarm at 5:20am, but I had slept enough not to get stressed by it. I did my usual thing of reading for a while before trying to go back to sleep again and I slept well again then too. I want to become a morning person again.

going off at 3am is not conducive to good sleep hygiene. :-(

I’ve been sleeping a little better once I finally go to bed. Apart from on Friday night, but I got drunk and rarely sleep well after drinking that much alcohol.

My trick is taking herbal tablets called Valerian and chilling out before bedtime and I have a lamp that colour shifts and I try to think of nice happy relaxing things. If that doesn’t work I think of really boring things and am asleep in mere seconds.

I’ve been ill and sleeping as long as possible because I’m so tired and my dreams have been getting better. I still struggle to go to bed at a decent time and get up in the mornings though. More work is needed on this.
