Keep working on this. You need it, after all. Don’t let the clock tick at night. Go to bed and the next morning you’ll be ready to run, swim, bike and FIIIIIIGHT. Silly, but true. 3 years ago

It is really nice to sleep by 10 p.m. I must say, I could get used to this. Hopefully on a consistent basis! 3 years ago

So I’m really trying to reinvigorate this goal. It’s super important with my training and my early rising for swimming at least 2x a week goal. Also, running in the morning when it’s only 70 degrees is the way to go in Texas in the summer. That way I can get home in the evenings and work on my art. I think this is a good plan to start focusing completely on working out in the mornings. Anyway, so the past two nights…
Last night I went to bed at 10:30…was kept awake by a phonecall from the family.
The night before, I went to bed at CAN YOU BELIEVE IT 9:30. I think I went to sleep quite a bit later, though…regardless, still good progress.

We’ll see what I do tonight.

And now…for a quick poem about going to bed early. Written by me! :)

Welcome to slumberland!
Who wants to come?
shhh please be quiet!
Its time to wind down,
In dreams I’m quite lively
I beat on a drum!
I even jump cliffs,
And surprise everyone.
Welcome to slumberland,
It’s time for bed,
Welcome to slumberland,
Let’s rest your sweet weary head! 3 years ago

and I was unable to wake up at 6:30. Mornings are becoming less and less manageable for me. I’m staying up too late. Last night I was motivated to clean and I though well I’d better clean if I have the energy now and so I stayed up late.

I also napped a lot yesterday.

And the day before.

I’m probably sleeping too much. 3 years ago

ok so that was bad last night. I will try to do better tonight. 4 years ago

So I got to bed at 10:28 last night. I still wanted to sleep in until 7:30. Hopefully when I can actually get to bed by 10 I will be able to wake up at 6:30 like I want to.

Every day I am making progress toward getting to bed earlier, so I’m trying to stay positive with this goal.

Tonight it will be 10:25 (or earlier) 4 years ago
