Unfortunately, being at school has made this worse. I don’t start working on my homework early enough, so three nights of the week, I’m up until late and up early.
Answer: I need to start doing my homework earlier.
αძძy ❀ is hella good at making enemies.
How I did it: I actually did the work that I had to do on time. I would screw around when I got home and stay up until 3 am making it up. I would stay up until 5 in the morning for no reason on weekends. It really does your body a lot of harm, although the idea seems like fun. I got really irregular and felt crappy all the time. I get 6-7 hours of sleep on weekdays, and 9 or 10 on weekends :) sleeping too much isn't great either, haha. Read how I did it…
Fremdwoerterbuch is overloaded with "stuff" (GTD)
How I did it: First I had to collect all my todos. I also made a "minimalist's programm" every day in the morning and I said "no" to many things, such as talking boring things with my poor lonely neighbour for too long or surfing the internet randomly late at night.On the other hand, I didn't plan when to go to sleep and I didn't expect I would go to sleep always on the same time. And a nap in the afternoon or after an early dinner works wonders.Eati… Read how I did it…
Niel is figuring out if he likes what he's doing.
How I did it: I started getting to bed earlier and earlier, slowly adjusting my routine, aiming to be in bed by 21:00. This helped a lot, but getting up in the morning was still hard. It changed dramatically when I stopped drinking coffee. I no longer needed to push myself to bed, I merely could not keep my eyes open any longer. The most amazing improvement was starting to wake up naturally early in the morning. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Started by charting how much sleep getting at night, noting things such as amount of time waking in the night, how long took to fall asleep, when waking in the mornings. From here, important steps were setting a regular bed time, only being in bed to sleep, no reading in bed, leaving the bedroom if unable to fall asleep in about 20-30 minutes. Meditation right before bedtime also proved helpful. Steps outside of bedtime … Read how I did it…

Well, no. But it’s probably not realistic for days when I have to get up early and be on time for work. Feels good though.
Trying to do it at home is a valiant goal, but I have a lot to do in a short time, so it isn’t really working. I’ve been trying to use my time to the fullest, and I’ve been getting lots done, but I think it’ll work better at school. Hopefully. I also keep getting woken up early.
I started wearing socks to bed, got some new pillows and if there’s noise, wear earplugs. Better!
in my bedroom. As soon as dawn hits, I’m awake! Maybe I need an eye mask.

this past week for a variety of reasons. Well, nothing to do about it other than try to recover on this weekend and hope for better sleep next week.

as I had my first bad ear ringing episode since last fall. It’s much better by now. I hope this was a one-time occurrence.
This is going pretty well, I think that cutting back on caffeine and alcohol probably helped the most. I’m sleeping pretty good, but for some crazy reason, keep waking up at 4:30 a.m. (almost exactly the same time every night) for about an hour. Then I fall into the deepest best sleep just as it’s time to wake up.

Lately it had happened several times that my door bell rang early in the morning, waking me. By the time I was able to answer it, no one was there.
Since I usually can’t get back to sleep then, this ends up disrupting much of my day, for what I assume is somebody trying to sell me something.
So I now experimented with my door bell’s many buttons (for which I was given no manual of course…) and was happy to find out that an unlikely combination actually lets me turn the sound on and off :)
This will help me sleep more peacefully. That’s great !

I had considerable trouble falling asleep – I hope I can make up for that on the weekend.
