zeknir is ambitious

hahahhah nope 1 day ago

still have not fixed this. as we speak, i am at work dying to go back to bed. i can’t seem to ever sleep during the week. i’ve been stressed to the max with school and tp, and i never can make it into my bed at a decent hour. i either have homework to do (which is constant, i am so sick of projects and playing catchup), or i’m just trying to enjoy some relaxing time with tp. like last night, for instance. i worked all day, was at work from 730-1145, then class from 1230 to 630, and then i stayed and worked until 1030 (went and got jimmy johns, but did homework there too). so when i finally got with tony at 11, we just chilled at the island, and i finally went home at like 2 to shower. we laid around and stuff, but i was so tired. i couldn’t get myself to stop cuddling with him though, i miss being with him all the time. as frustrated as i get during the day with him and everything else, when i see his face, nothing else matters. and thats my problem. when i see him at night, i can’t ever pull myself away to go home…

it’s quite late now..or rather quite early in the morning from where i am..so obviously i’m not on track on this one yet. tomorrow, i promise tomorrow will be the start. I don’t care even if the “plants” in my “farm” die..i’m gonna get proper snooze, start at 6, then 7, then off to the ideal 8..=)



kBryce homework, a little sleep, hell

blahh. 1 week ago

This will probably be my hardest goal.
It stems from a lot of things: stress, not doing anything during the day, NOISY NEIGHBORHOOD, saying “ok i’ll be in bed at 10. /4 hours later, ok i’ll just stay up”
Right now it’s stress.
Insomnia.

I LOVE this goal 1 week ago

10 hours on Friday night, 8 1/2 last night, and for the first time in I don’t know when, I woke without the alarm. I love my bed. In fact, I think I should take myself off there right now :-)

Lykzomgyay. 1 week ago

Several days ago I promised myself I’d sleep earlier and well… I didn’t. :/ But I did last night :D! At 10:30 I shut off the computer, went to my room and got into bed. Yeah, I admit I thought about getting back up, but I didn’t. I just lie there with my eyes closed, listening to music on my MP3. Around 11 o’clock I think, I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night of course (this usually happens if I go to bed early), but closed my eyes and went back to sleep. I officially woke up at 7 AM. :) I felt pretty proud of myself. ^^

I think the trick is to keep your freakin’ eyes closed! Yeah, I know how boring it could be just staring into darkness, so you know what I do? I listen to music or day dream. Try to imagine doing something pleasant… like flying. Avoid letting stressful thoughts enter your mind, since they’ll probably keep you up for the rest of the night. For music, try listening to songs with soft melodies. Nothing depressing or with a bunch of loud guitars. xD

So here I am.. it’s 1 in the morning. I have to wake up in 5 hours! It pisses me off when I am in bed just toss and turn.. UGH! Plus, I have an AP Biology test first thing in the morning too! GREAT. And on top of that, I have swimming after school…

Wonder how I am going to make it through the day.



GRR. HAMSTER SUCKS. 2 weeks ago

Oh I could seriously kill my hamster right now ha, he kept me up all night trying to escape from his cage. It sounded like someone was tearing a wall down! So much for getting more sleep eh? I’m sure he just waited for me to go to sleep early to start his crap haha. Well, he’s sleeping in the kitchen tonight, he can escape in there all he wants as long as I don’t wake up :P

This is definitely something I am going to work on this week. I really look like someone who doesn’t get enough sleep, drawn face, purple circles under the eyes, all that stuff. And that’s because I really don’t! I can’t get up in the mornings, and so I get the late bus in to work, so end up staying in work later, and then everything in my evening is a little behind and….back to squre one, I go to bed a little too late. In theory, a little determination and a good schedule should sort this one out!

Dark circles, even darker. 3 weeks ago

I’ve noticed that the dark circles under my eyes are even darker now. Grrr, I look like a zombie. >:c Sighh… it’s just so hard to fall asleep when you’re not tired. I mean, I get sleepy around 3 AM. D: I guess I’ll have to try to fall asleep at a decent time. Perhaps I’ll try… 10:30 tomorrow.

Btw, I want to eat your brain plz. =<

Stop setting the alarm clock earlier than needed – just get up when it goes off !!! – That could give about an extra hours sleep per day – If I can sleep at that time.

I’ll see how I feel when that’s done – maybe more action will be needed.

I wonder how it would feel after a month of spending too much time in bed? – maybe bed by 10 and up at 7?
