I found a site for wiretap with Jonathon Goldstein. His voice puts me to sleep. Thanks Jonathon.

Couldn't sleep all last night.

Bummer, since this evening we had a dinner reservation to go out with friends and celebrate my birthday. But, I slept from about 6-8PM, so instead 1 friend came over and we drank some red wine (cheap but good, that I brought back with me from a trip to Ardeche) and I think I’ll be able to sleep well tonight. I hope this weill help me get back on track.

This week, one of my goals is to get in bed – with lights out! – by midnight every night. Will take discipline but it would be lovely to get my sleep back on track.
Sunday night: failed. Lights went out at about 1:30.
Monday night: failed. Lights out at about 1AM
Tuesday night: failed
Wednesday night: failed. Lights out around 2AM
Hmmmmm. I think I see one of the reasons why I’ve got a sleeping problem: lights out too late!

This truly takes work and discipline.

Like getting in shape or earning a master’s degree, this is an ongoing project. It’s not going to have a quick fix and as soon as I let myself slide, I’ve got to rein myself in. Onward and upward!

My boyfriend returned from Cali

and his sleep was very messed up. This in turn messed up my sleep. Today, I awoke well past noon! Need to try to get back on track, and going to try to do this without meds. Wish me luck!

Lately, it's been going really well!

I forced myself to get up before 9 every day and after a week or 2, I began falling asleep earlier at night. Granted, those 2 weeks when my body was adjusting, were sheer hell. But… oh well!

Taking this one day at a time.

I’m currently on meds that seem to be messing with my sleep a bit. But, overall, it isn’t bad.

I have been going to bed before 11PM the past few nights, which has been great. But, I then wake up in the middle of the night, which isn’t so great.
Still, I’m proud of myself for heading to bed on time. Surely, that counts for something!

Went to bed at 11:30 last night.

But, then lay awake for ages, so – like the insomnia literature tells one to do – I got up and read. Even so, didn’t fall asleep ‘til 4:30 or so. Grrr. This is getting annoying!

So, instead of just whining about it,

I need to take action.
For now, I’m going to try to get up at the same time every day and have the lights out by 11PM every night.
Not counting tonight, of course. It’s already 12:30AM. ; )
