Eimear can't believe her dissertation is finally finished
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 :-)
How I did it: i found valuing my day and how much a good nights sleep would help me enjoy it was essential. Also i started a job which was actually demanding and interesting and very tought todo apart from on a full nights sleep. Read how I did it…
cmarks7 is welcoming change.
How I did it: I never really had trouble falling asleep. In fact, I can go to sleep anywhere at any time, but I used to wake up several times throughout the night, and never got enough rest. I finally decided to start taking better care of myself, and sleep was a top priority. These days I start my evening routine earlier, and I usually end up getting a solid ten hours of rest. Now I feel great, both physically and mentally, every morning. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I tried programming my router to drop me off the net at night. That helped. Consistency is the most important thing. Every night, including weekends, which I found was impossible until I had a partner that had a consistent schedule. Getting up in the morning and not binge sleeping is pretty critical too. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Working through the stress bit by bit and getting help in every day living has helped enormously with the sleepless nights as there is less to ruminate over before bed. Clearing out my room and organising papers so that they're not lying around randomly has helped a lot too. My counsellor has been a great help as well as getting more of a sense of direction and purpose for my life via goal-setting and meditation. Read how I did it…
rochiegirl hoping for the best!
How I did it: i switched to a new shift at work and had to adjust my body clock drastically! Working nights is definitely NOT the greatest, although in my personal situation, i have my reasons why I'd rather work at night than during the day. When i first started the shift, i really had to train my body to go to sleep even when i wasn't sleepy. if i didn't have enough sleep, i was miserable at work and so i knew i HAD to get my sleep or else i'd suffer… Read how I did it…

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.
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!

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?
Dear_Ellody The future is here.
Are always the same.
I fall asleep very easy…

I dont know why.
I will lay there for hours.
I hate this.

Winteredrose5162 asks,
“I wake up early, am tired all day, but come the evening, I suddenly am energized and am not able to fall asleep. Is there anything I'm doing that can cause this? Oh and I'm not drinking caffeinated drinks or eating sugar so I already ruled that out.”

“I have major problems initially getting to sleep, then once I get there I either wake up at least every hour yelling about something or unconciously thrash around. Then getting up is impossible. Anyone have the same problem/solution?”
