Friday (Thursday into Friday)
Started Relaxation time: 1:15am
Got in Bed to read by: 1:10am
Turned out lights to sleep by: 2:05am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep:3:00am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 6:00am
Had alarm set to: 9:30am
Got out of Bed at: 10:00am
Total Time I slept: 3 Hours and 30 Minutes
I got in bed around 1:15ish and read for a good while. Wasn’t feeling really tired but turned out the lights anyways. After a while I finally fell asleep, but remember waking up as if I heard a loud noise. Not sure what it was, or if it was just a thought but I woke up more than once right when I was on the brink of sleep. I then woke up around 30 minutes after falling asleep feeling really hot. I eventually fell asleep after a while.
I then woke up around 6:00am, not sure why but got a drink. I managed to fall back asleep after that. From 8:00am and on it was spotty and I was awake and half asleep. Again, I probably should have just got up but I stayed in bed trying to get more sleep.
Last night was definitely not a great night, and i’ll hope to be off to a good start next week from Monday on.

Thursday (Wednesday into Thursday)
Started Relaxation time: 1:10am
Got in Bed to read by: 1:10am
Turned out lights to sleep by: 2:05am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep:2:35am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 8:00am
Had alarm set to: 9:30am
Got out of Bed at: 10:00am
Total Time I slept: 7 Hours and 30 Minutes
I hopped in bed and read for a while. Wasn’t felling that tired when 2:00am came, but I turned out the lights anyways and fell asleep in a decent amount of time. I can’t remember if I woke up in the night, but I do recall waking up at 8:00am from my dad making some noise. I laid there will around 9:00am trying to sleep but couldn’t, and then I tried to put my ear plugs in but I wasn’t really tired enough. I laid there somewhat awake from 9:00am on till 10:00 and then got up.
I should have woken up around 8:30am I think when I first got up because now I feel drained still. I also feel a little off balance, the feeling I usually feel when I don’t get enough sleep. I have to try to get to bed earlier, and follow the rules on the weekends too.

Wednesday (Tuesday into Wednesday)
Started Relaxation time: 12:05am
Got in Bed to read by: 12:05am
Turned out lights to sleep by: 1:05am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 1:20am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 8:30am

Got out of Bed at: 10:30am
Total Time I slept: 7 Hours and 0 Minutes
Last night I had a great night of sleep. I was really tired yesterday from being up on Sunday/Monday so I am sure that helped me stay alseep as my body needed it. I passed out around 1:20 after reading for a bit, and the cat woke me up around 2:45am. I got a drink, ate a cookie, and hopped back in bed to sleep. I fell asleep quickly and didn’t wake up again until about 8:30am when mom and dad were talking and it woke me. I managed to fall asleep till about 9:30 when people talking woke me up. I laid there with ear plugs in till about 10:20 but I didn’t really sleep that last hour.
Overall, it was a great night of sleep (in my book) because I fell asleep quick, I was woken up but fell back asleep quickly, and slept a decent amount overall. Nope, this is NOT an april fools joke 
Try to keep up the going to sleep and reading, and getting a solid 6 or 7 hours of sleep.

Got out of Bed at: 11:00am
Total Time I slept: 7 Hours and 0 Minutes
I was real tired by the time night fell, since I was awake for a long time with just a little nap earlier in the day. Once night fell I was tired but I didn’t want to go to bed right away so I watched a little TV in bed. I turned out the TV around 1:00am and was passed out in less than 15 minutes.
I slept all night without waking up till the morning when my mom was talking really loud on the phone. I managed to fall back asleep till my bro called about an hour later. I then was able to sleep about another hour until the power went out, and my 2 battery backups started to sound their alarm. At that time I decided to just get up and begin my day. I do remember having crazy dreams afer the first time I woke up, but I don’t remember what they were anymore.
I was letting myself sleep till whenever I wanted today since I had a rough day of no sleep but I figured I’d just get up after the power out issue. I still definitely feel a little groggy so I am hoping to get to bed on a decent note tonight, and get a good night sleep.

Started Relaxation time: 1:45am

Total Time I slept: 3 Hours and 30 Minutes
Last night I worked till past midnight. I was making great progress and everything felt good so I decided to just keep on going. Around 1:45am I was feeling really tired so I figured I would get in bed. I received a new book today and I want to get it read within a few short days, so I stayed up to read it. By 2:45am my eyes were nearly closing and I was dead tired. I turned out the lights, but it still took me a little while to finally fall alseep.
I first woke up around 7:00am to some type of noise, maybe the people that rent upstairs? Not sure if it was them the first time, but I know they made noise the rest of the morning till at least 9:30. I finally decided around 9:30 to get ear plugs so I could try to get at least close to 1 more hour of sleep. I managed to dose off a tiny bit, but then got up around 10:40.
It is am amazingly sunny day so right when I opened the shades I started to feel better and awake, but overall I am really tired feeling today. The best thing to do is to stick to the computer turn off time every night, and i’ll be more in tune to fall asleep.

I was working on one of my computers tonight at my office so I ended up staying there till about 11:00pm. By the time I got home I had more stuff to do so I stayed up doing it. Before I knew it, it was about 1:30am and I was way past my bed time. My brain was turning but I felt tired since I had gone to bed earlier the 2 nights before.
I got in bed and eventually fell alseep. I put the rain mp3 on, but I wasn’t in the mood to get relaxed so I just laid there and eventually passed out.
I woke up around 8:00am and I couldn’t fall back alseep. My brain was racing with random thoughts and I was working in my head. Around 9:30am I realized it so I tried to tell myself to actually concentrate on getting sleep but by then it was late. I laid in bed till about 10:00am and then just got up.
Bad night last night. I HATE to be strict on the time I turn off the computers and get into my relaxation mode or else it is going to be hard to get my good habits back into motion.
I did so well for the first 2+ months of this year, and now I need to get back on it!

Started Relaxation time: 11:50pm

Turned out lights to sleep by: 12:05am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 12:50am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 2:00am

Got out of Bed at: 9:30am
Total Time I slept: 6 Hours and XX Minutes
I managed to get in bed on an earlier note, and I read a bit. After reading and listening to the ocean mp3, I turned out the lights. I consciously thought of keeping thoughts out of my mind as I tried to dose off. It probably took close to an hour before I fell alseep.
I then woke up at random around 2:00am and I eventually fell back asleep. The next time I was up was around 6:00am. I woke up to the sound of my phone chiming multiple times. I then got up, got a drink, fed the cat, and eventually got back in bed. At this time I was debating on staying up and starting to work, but decided to try to get an hour of sleep or so.
I laid there easily for an hour trying to sleep, and then eventually I did fall alseep. I then got up at 9:30am and started my day.
Good job on getting in bed, but staying alseep is the next challenge.

I set my mind to it and fell alseep early. I was out by around 11:45pm, but was then woken up by the cat stratching my door at 12:45am. I fed the cat and got back in bed and was sleeping again within about 20 minutes. I then woke up again around 6:15am to the sound of dad putting away dishes. That kept me up for a bit, and I managed to dose off a little bit after that. I was then awake from about 8:00am aand 10:00am as I snoozed, and set different times on the alarm clock. I should have really just got up, but I felt lazy and laid there. That is ok though because my body needed it, so tonight I will hope to get to sleep on time, and tomorrow be able to wake up on the alarm.

Last night I had a pretty bad night of sleep. I got home from the store and didn’t feel like turning my mind with work, so I decieded to just relax and watch TV (something I never really do). Ended up watching tv for hours, and was trying to get sleepy. I had a lot on my mind and couldn’t get to sleep.
I finally turned out the lights around 4:15am and I laid there in a daze trying to get to sleep. I remember being up at all hours and I finally dosed off for some sleep probably past 6:30am. I was then up around 9:00am or so and I laid there trying to get sleep. My mind was racing while I was in and out of dreams.
I would say that I am completely off track right now, and I am going to force my good habits onto myself starting today so I can have a more productive and successful week.
