go to bed on time

so I’m failing miserably at going to bed on time. maybe I need to change my expectations about it. actually, I think I might need to get a job that doesn’t require me to wake up before 9am. Like that’s going to happen. Must get more sleep. Must convince Husband he needs more sleep too. Argh!

we’re still struggling with this. last night we went to bed together at least if not really on time. I was much better at it when I was posting an entry every day to hold myself accountable. I guess I’m going to have to start doing that again.

I’ve gotten sloppy with this. I need to redouble my efforts to get to bed on time. but now I’ve got the husband on board too so that should make it easier. The Oscars got in the way Sunday night and something else on Saturday… oh yeah, computer problems we were trying to fix. Anyway, we talked about it yesterday and we’re going to try together to go to bed on time.

last night, I just about passed out on the couch around 10:30. I’m not sure if this is a good sign or not. “going to bed on time” is going around 11 so 10:30 is kind of early to be passing out on the couch. but I was tired so I went to sleep. My computer being broken helped greatly as nothing keeps me up more than the internets. :)

Tuesday nights kill me. I don’t have the pressure of needing to be at work in the morning on Wednesday so I just stay up later and later. I’m avoiding reading tonight but I still haven’t gone to bed. Steve is watching Charlie Rose on PBS and I guess I’m waiting for him but I’m so tired. I should just go…

was a little wrapped up in reading again last night but not too bad. the thing is I shouldn’t have even started reading when I did. it was already late. but I was feeling grouchy and that’s when I really get wrapped up in my reading. I’ve got to try harder tonight.

I haven’t been consistent with this. I’ve allowed myself to get carried away with reading when I should have gone to bed. How do I stop reading something in the middle? How can I step away when I really want to know what happens? I’ve never fallen asleep in the middle of a movie, for example. I have to know how it ends. same with reading. I’ve done okay. But the two nights I stayed up too late, I stayed up way too late.

last night we actually did okay on this but then I couldn’t sleep so I got up for a while. but I think it should count as going to bed on time.

we did pretty good going to bed last night. just didn’t sleep all that well. i think it’s because we ate dinner so late and so close to going to sleep. need to try to have dinner earlier but it’s hard when we get home so late.

went to bed too late last night. was able to sleep in this morning because I don’t have to be anywhere until afternoon. must do better tonight because tomorrow morning I have to get up on time if I want breakfast before I leave for work.
