How I did it: Just to give some advice, chewing melatonin--and perhaps placing it under your tongue--allows your body to absorb it better. This is a completely natural supplement you can get at any store. It causes you to become tired naturally. Sleeping pills feel awesome the night you do it but can often make people feel tired the next day.People often use alcohol to wind down as well. This is not too bad of an idea if it is s… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I always stick to a schedule, and rarely sleep late on weekends. If you sleep late on Saturday and Sunday morning, you'll get Sunday night insomnia. Instead, go to bed and get up at about the same time every day. "You don't need to rely on an alarm clock to wake up when you get enough sleep! "And a light dinner always helps you sleep better.And I prefer a slightly cool room to sleep in...I guess it mimics the internal temperature dro… Read how I did it…
How I did it: After school was out, I allowed myself time to sleep a good amount of time. Even though at times, my sleep schedule was kind of whack, I was still able to get a great nights sleep! Read how I did it…

I haven’t had real sleep in a while. There’s always somebody waking me up, something waking me up, and everything.
Maybe i’ll try this later.

a fortune cookie told me to sleep more….too true..
Nathan Anderson found God
I was a man then I became a beast. And as a beast I was small and unwanted. I tried to become great as a beast and that made the other beasts what to kill me. So finding no escape from the beast that looked like a man I tried to dig through a mountain. And in my fear I gave up my beastly form and was a man. Then no beast had power over me for I was wanted.
I will usually get around 3 hours a night and then one night a week just havwe a recharging day where I will actually sleep for 8 – 10 hours. I’ve been told this isn’t healthy, but I get to do so much in the hours i spend awake that its hard to pass up all the activity to just lay somewhere, wasting my life away. hha. “I don’t sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death”
But I really should….
Another this is when I actually have enough sleep I have so much energy that people can’t handle it in every day situations.. haha
Here is my dillema:
Ever since I started highschool AP classes, my sleeping schedual has been entirely thrown off. During the school week I stay up on average until 3am (sometimes later), trying to finish all the homework assignments. (Now, I know it shouldn’t take me that long, but I am somewhat of a perfectionist, and I’m the type of person who would rather get a grade as low as a 68 than a 99 on an assignment- because that one point would drive me crazy). I make up for this by taking 2 hour naps immediatly after school, and then naturally the cycle continues. What’s worse is that during the weekends when I finally have time to catch up on my sleep, my body won’t allow me to do it because it’s used to staying up much later.
How can I get my sleeping patterns back to normal without sacrificing my grades??
Starting now. I’m all messed up (thanks, school!)...I need to be getting up at 7 or 8 am in the morning, but going to bed at 3 or 4 doesn’t give me enough sleep. So I end up napping when I get home and the cycle continues because I can’t get back to sleep until much later.
Okay, it’s 1:30am, no more playing on the computer (even though I had a three hour nap earlier), maybe I’ll read a book until I fall asleep.
Ru ~ dig deeper glitter in her wake...
I think I’ve hit a new sleep groove. I’ve been pulling the computer plug early & generally going to bed sometime shortly after midnight, reading/talking/nudgingandwinking for a while and then getting close to 8 hours a night, even with a 4am juice-and-snuggle request. Between our sincere noise complaints and their being away more, the neighbour situation has improved, and even Isak’s falling asleep earlier then he previously was.
If I could iron out my beloved’s snoring, I’d be happy as a pig in… a blanket, but I think I’m sleeping well enough (for me) to mark this off for now.
Ru ~ dig deeper glitter in her wake...
After successfully hitting the sheets just after midnight last night, I realize that doing so can make for some excellent multitasking on several of my more important goals, so I’m doing it again tonight.
