Get better sleep

I still need to start making the cats sleep outside. They seem to be the only thing standing between me and a good night’s rest. And I can’t sleep on those nights when I didn’t eat dinner or I didn’t eat a lot. I can’t sleep when I’m hungry. So those are two things to work on.

I still have uninterrupted sleep. I just hate making the cats sleep outside! Night is when I get to spend the most time with them.

I changed this to get better sleep because I do think I get enough sleep, just not restful sleep. I get up and down and up and down during the night. I get woken up then have to go back to sleep. That is what makes me so tired during the day I think. So I need to work on sleeping all night and getting rest.

I’ve been able to take naps this week because I only stayed after school twice this week. So that has been nice. And I didn’t have class at all on Friday so I slept in late. But this won’t happen very often. I need to set a certain time that I should go to bed and wake up.

I should do this… I’m always limiting my sleep, ‘cause I want to do sth. And at sunday or saturday I sleep like 12 hours, which isn’t really good… Could someone post tips on how to do this? Please….

I don’t have a lot of time to sleep during the week, so I used to always just catch up on the weekends. But now I am so used to not getting enough sleep that I just wake up extra early when I can sleep longer. also, I can’t have any noise at all, along with a whole list of other things.

I took some long naps this week. I let myself sleep or went to bed when I felt really tired instead of making myself do something. I know I got more sleep last night and the night before last than I did earlier in the week because I put the cats outside. I’m getting deja vu I think I just wrote an entry about this a minute ago. Oops.

The first few nights this week I noticed that my sleeping was interrupted multiple times by my cats. So the past couple of nights the cats have went outside and I slept better. I was pretty sure the cats were the problem. I just didn’t want to admit. I still don’t really. I love cuddling with my cats, but they do wake me up a lot. Sleep has become so precious to me. I’m going to work on getting the cats to sleep outside more.

I think I have been getting more sleep. I let myself sleep later this week and really late this morning. Now if only I can stop waking up so many times during the night. I’ll see what I can do about that. When the warm weather comes the cats will hopefully sleep outside and I think that will be a tremendous help.

There are now less Big Things To Worry About these days, as everything is falling into place. So I have less to toss and turn about at night. I have been having some glorious lie-ins over the past few days and boy have they been wonderful! Waking up when my body feels like it! Oh heaven!

I am going to try over the next week to ease into the work routine (which will involve going from a flexible schedule to leaving the house at 6.30am-ish every day).

All the pills I am taking at the moment are messing with me slightly, so I need to keep an eye on that. I take the one that makes me drowsy before bed so that it will hopefully have worn off by the time morning arrives.

Must exercise more too. There is nothing like passing out when you are attached to a thoroughly worn out (in a good way) body.
