Last night was a hellish night of sleep.  It was Easter Sunday so I ate plenty, drank Espresso, and had a coffee after 10pm with some friends.  I ordered a decaf coffee but maybe it was regular?

Hopped in bed around 1:45 because I had to be up for 8:00am, and figured I would get around 6 hours of sleep, but that didn’t happen. I ended up tossing and turning, and was in a daze most of the night.  Half alseep, but enough to be conscious and know that I wasn’t getting rest. I tried to get my mind off stuff but it wandered anyways.  I woke up a little hot at one point so I pulled the covers off.

I remember around 5:00is I was dozing off for maybe 30 minutes and then remember looking at the clock a few times around 6:00am.  By 7:30 I was awake and was trying to get some sleep, but I knew I had to be up.  Ended up getting up and started my day.

Lesson learned, don’t drink Espresso later afternoon Sundays, and definitely don’t drink ANY type of coffee at night.

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.
