sleep regularly

I’ve thought about this goal this week. I’ve decided I’m concentrating on the wrong thing. I generally do sleep regularly. When I don’t, it’s a symptom of something bigger. Focusing on lack of sleep is like treating the cough when you have lung cancer. I need to focus on the metaphorical cancer.

I won’t mark this done, but I’d rather not keep a sleep log, and I’d rather not participate in punishments and rewards. Lack of sleep is punishment in itself, and sleeping well is a reward.

Thanks for the fun and encouragement. I’ll still be around to encourage you all to meet your goal. :)

I got invited to sleep regularly with DJ, Des and Deni. Do I need to change my name so it starts with a “D”? (Don’t call me Dim!!!!)

What do I need to do? Post my go-to-sleep schedule? I didn’t do so well last night. I got 3 hours of sleep. :( Friday night, though, I got 9 hours. :)

My goal would be to be in bed by 10:30 every work night. Except tonight, I should be in bed earlier because I have to get up at 3:30 so I can launch my big project at work before other people get to work.
