Tried to get up early
1 day ago
Even though I had probably had a fair amount of sleep (going to bed no later than about 1am) I got up early afternoon, because I was still tired (think I needed to catch up on sleep).

How to have normal sleep hours
It made me
:) Still Adjusting
 "I don't miss 4am at all!"
How I did it: The first few weeks I just kept track of my sleep hours. After that, I was working as a dog walker, and couldn't stand the thought of being asleep in bed while some poor doggy needed to go out to the bathroom. So I started getting up. I'm still pretty worn out by the end of the day, and need to work on going to bed at the *same* time every night, but I'm happy to be consistently asleep before midnight and up before 9am. Lessons & tips: Come up with a temporary responsibility you don't want to mess up on. It'll get you out of bed. |

How I did it: I stopped all sleeping medications that left me feeling hungover and drowsy and made getting up more difficult. The first night after stopping the sleep meds I did not sleep at all. As much as I wanted to I resisted the urge to take a nap during the day so that I would be tired that night. I only slept a few hours that night. That's how it went for the next couple of weeks until eventually my body started falling asleep soon after I got i… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I was scheduled to be at work at 9am and leave at 6 pm. Being active and having to fake being polite to rude customers really takes a lot out of you. Read how I did it…

How I did it: It had gotten way out of control. I was sleeping from 8 am to 5 pm, then staying up until the next morning. I had been carrying on like this for about a month and a half. I made my mind up to stop, and sleep deprived myself for the next days to force myself to sleep at night. It worked for two days, then I relapsed. Then I went back on it two days later, and have not looked back since. I have had the te… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just did it. You have to commit yourself to it with the intent that you have to do so every day no matter what. Of course everyone has an off day but instead of having another it's a concious effort to get right back into the routine. Having routines make life a lot less difficult. Read how I did it…

it’s nearly 1am, I’m going to bed. This is earlier than sometimes at least…. and anyway, I’m SO tired, surprised I’m still awake – hopefully I’ll get a good amount of sleep and not be tired tomorrow!

I hope it works. Yesterday I was thinking so much that I couldn’t sleep until 6:00am. I normally fall asleep in 5 minutes, so I hope today will be no different. Have to get up fairly early tomorrow.
GEEZ!

I was up near 4pm… damn. Later than I planned! I was just too tired earlier. Oh well, nothing I can do. I’ve done some singing to music in my room now I’m going to try and not procrastinate on at least SOME things, to make up for missing out on a lot of the day! As I say, at least I got most of the photos (and there was LOOADS of them) done last night, and that includes updating project 365 so I’m up to date with that…..
Hmm?

It’s after half 6am. I stayed up late! Wasn’t tired, plus was getting some things done. I was being fairly productive at least with some of the things (mostly sorting pics out that had built up for awhile). Going to bed now, anyway. Hope I don’t get up too late and then it’ll be OK.

This is bad:
I dislike being up while everyone else is sleeping and sleeping while everyone else is up
It’s unhealthy
It hinders me from fulfilling my goals
It’s going to have to change, because next week is full of mornings I can’t miss

It’s half 3am. I’ve been up late talking to my b/f on Facebook, and trying to sort other things – like photos to PC. He went offline a bit ago. I have to go to bed now, and I won’t get that much sleep, because then I have to be up to see my dad. I’m hoping I won’t be too tired though. I’m looking forward to seeing Jason again soon and there are some other things I want to get done… but first I have to try and get a few hours sleep!

I don’t sleep much anymore. It’s like if I have to sit still for that long without something to distract me, the sheer pain of my shattered heart sets in. When I finally do fall asleep, I usually have nightmares about what I am desperately trying not to think about.

I have always been a night owl and this is the first time in my life that I really feel like I want that to change. Always waking up too late to get anything (daytime activities that require daylight or shops that have a closing time)accomplished and having to put things off until the next weekend EVERY weekend (because i sure cant get up in time to do anything before work with this schedule) is just getting old.
