stop staying up so late

I tried to get to sleep on time for just a little while but I failed completely. I’m going to try a new tactic. I will try to get work done before 8:30, that way when I miss that goal by a lot, I’ll still be able to get to bed on time.

I have schoolwork that needs to be done. I have all day to do it. I wait until 10 or 11 to start. ‘nuff said.

I need to give up some of my daylight to start my work sooner.

Goal: Get into bed before 10 everyday (besides tomorrow) for a week.

Wah! i always play online games!

I always do. I figure a good time to go to bed every night is about 9:30 PM. And a good time to wake up every morning is about 7:30 AM. This way, I get ten hours sleep (more than enough), and I even get time to myself before work. I lack so much sleep… it’s not cool… I stay up so late talking to friends who are only available late at night. But I gotta take care of myself too and if I have to just catch them on weekends.

If I am not even going to try, why do I keep this goal?

This is one of those wish goals for me. I know I should do it, I can see myself doing it, but I just can’t bring myself to actually try to do it.

I am a night owl. What can I say?

I really wish I could just let myself go to sleep when I need to. It isn’t that I don’t get tired. School, studying, work, martial arts, volunteering… it takes a toll on me after a while. It’s just really hard for me to get myself to sit still long enough to go to sleep during the school week. I think part of it is that I get really lonely right before bed. I start missing my boyfriend, and thinking about whatever I need to get done. Next thing I know I’m lying there completely tuckered out, trying to fall asleep, but wide awake.

I am just not good at this. I suppose I shouldn’t really say that. I could do this, I just choose not to because it is hard. I should start over. Ok. I am going to shower now, and then go to bed. I have to get up early and I need to hit the sack.

I am going.

If there was more time in a day, maybe I wouldn’t stay up so late.

sigh

16 hours is just too few.

If only being up late weren’t so very, very tempting. I am super tired, but I just can’t stop doing one more thing, and then one more thing. The problem is I I dislike going to bed when I am at school. I spend my productive hours doing homework, and when I get too tired to do that without making tons of mistakes I move on to my own things. Also, I miss my boyfriend and my family a lot during the semesters, and it really hits me when I start to get ready for bed.

I should spend more time thinking about how hard it will be to get up in the morning, and less time messing around. Time for bed.

This is a good goal for me. It is very difficult for me to get to bed on time during semesters. I find myself doing homework until late hours many nights, and then to wind down I mess around on my computer a little bit. Before I know it I’ve missed my bedtime, and 8AM classes and work schedules leave me no time to recoup the lost hours.

I usually end up crashing on the weekends to catch up from the week. I would love a more regular schedule, but it is tough for me to sleep when I am thinking about what I should be doing, and what I have to do the next day and week.

Hopefully I can get better at this. After 3.5 years I am used to it, but a little more sleep and regularity might help with my stress levels. I will try to get to bed at a reasonable hour!

If I can do this 3-4 nights out of the week, consistently for about 3 weeks (i’m so easy on myself hehehe), i’ll take this off my list.

stop staying up late means going to sleep before 12 Mid on week 1, 11pm on week 2 and 10pm on week 3.

new year’s eve weekend is exempt :)

i really do wish i would go to sleep earlier but i just can’t! i can’t make myself go to sleep!!! :(
