sleep regularly

woo, my little plan worked last night, despite the fact that i’d had caffeine and didn’t wake up until 5pm! today i didn’t have caffeine but i did take a nap for about 45 mins., oops. i feel pretty tired from swimming for three hours or so so i’m hoping it won’t make a huge difference.

GOD, it felt so good to sleep normally for a night. and so good to do it without meds.

i am sooo sick of my insomnia. obviously, the prescription medication isn’t working anymore so i am going for more natural means – i am really going to hit this goal hard because the lack of sleep is literally driving me insane.

some of my attempts to resolve the sleeping issues are:

1. no caffeine
2. go to bed at 11 and get up at 8, whether i sleep or not
3. NO NAPS.
4. exercise every day
5. drink chamomile tea
6. take a melatonin around 10 pm
7. read in bed for 20-30 mins

we’ll see how this goes! it’s really starting tomorrow, because i did drink caffeine today.

as i’m adding this at 2 am.
