I’m tired of wasting my Sundays. All I do is wake up, have breakfast, lunch, do something around the house, and then I take a 3 hour nap. Yes, I have a sleep deficit, I wake up very early during the week, but it has to stop. I feel guilty and angry with myself because I don’t enjoy my weekends enough. I wanna change this.

I have trouble putting myself to bed sometimes, but once I’m asleep I’m getting 8+ hours of pretty solid rest.

Except when destruct-o-kitty wakes me up for something. At least that’s not a nightly occurrence anymore.

Started taking the melatonin again but I was already doing better at getting sleepy, so it’s just an assist. Back when I was really having trouble it was not cutting it. 3 months ago

This is a more comprehensive project than the title is letting on, but I’m already partway into it. I am not going to get better without getting 8-9 hours of good sleep every night. Soooo… what’s it gonna take?

Going to sleep is one thing, staying asleep is another. Both are separate problems. Putting myself to bed in the first place is a different problem entirely, too. I need to get better at all these things for this to work out.

I’ve been doing better at getting 8-9 hours of sleep, which was a big problem for me before, but now I need to start working on doing it earlier so I can get up earlier. Actual sleep quality will be an ongoing thing, but at least quantity is mostly handled now. 4 months ago

Two challenges for me: First, I’m a father of two young ones, so getting to bed timely is a challenge, and then I am often awoken before I want. I need to remind myself at bedtime, when I want to read instead, that going to bed early is a very loving thing to do for myself.
Second, I can sometimes get caught thinking too much. I have to get up, write stuff down to get it out of my head, and then practice my meditation mantra to get back to sleep: Breathe in saying to myself, “Total relaxation”; breathe out saying to myself, “Return to center.” 23 months ago
