Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 1:00am

Total Time I slept: 6 Hours and 45 Minutes

Last night was a great night of sleep.  I hopped in bed around 12:15 and did some writing, instead of reading on a recipe I had in mind.  By 12:40 I felt really tired and forced myself to stay awake until 12:45 and then I turned out the lights.

I would say it took about 10 minutes and I was out cold for the night.  In the last few minutes of consciousness I told myself the affirmation “I am going to get restful sleep and wake up feeling refreshed”, and it helped.

Once morning came I dragged a little bit, but that is natural for me.  I snoozed, and then set the alarm till later and tried to sleep a little more.  Didn’t really work, but it felt good to lay there a bit. I got up, felt rested and great, and am going to hope to keep up the sleep before 1:00am routine.

As I mentioned earlier this week, I have begun re-reading Mind Power into the 21st Century, and it is a great book. I used affirmation to try to get a good and solid night sleep, and it seemed to work.  I told myself that I would have a restful sleep, and wake up feeling great.  In the morning, I did just that.  It wasn’t exact, and it did hurt a tiny bit but once I was up, I felt great and ready to conquer the day.

I stopped readying a little after midnight, and in about 40 minutes or less I was sleeping. I slept solid until at least 6:45. I don’t remember if it was later than that, but I think that was when.  I then managed to dose off a tiny bit more but after around 8:30 I was pretty much up. I laid there thinking of new affirmations for the day, and am hoping my day affirmations work as well as my night ones did.
