4-7-09 - Good Sleep

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Tuesday (Monday into Tuesday)
Started Relaxation time: 12:15pm
Got in Bed to read by: 12:15pm
Turned out lights to sleep by: 1:am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 1:20am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 6:30am
Had alarm set to: 9:30am
Got out of Bed at: 9:50am
Total Time I slept: 5 Hours and XX Minutes

Last night was a decent night of sleep.  I got in bed to read.  Started re-reading Mind Power into the 21st Century, and wanted to keep reading but at 1:00am I told myself to stick to the plan and go to sleep.  I managed to fall asleep within probably 20 minutes, and slept great till about 6:30.

I was able to fall back asleep but it was very spotty, and I was having these wacky vivid dreams.  I then decided to get out of bed around 9:50am, but I probably could have gotten up at 9:00am since I was awake most of the time since.

The sun was out bright and early, and I am eliminating my black out shades now that spring is here since I want to use the sun as a way to get up earlier and more regularly.

4-2-09 - Slept well, but am a little tired

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

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.

4-1-09 - A great long night of sleep! and NOT an April Fools Joke

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

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
Had alarm set to:           9:30am
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.

3-27-09 - Stayed up too late reading

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Thursday (Thursday into Friday)
Started Relaxation time:        1:45am
Got in Bed to read by:         1:45am
Turned out lights to sleep by:     2:50am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 3:30am
Guesstimate of when I woke up:  7:00am
Had alarm set to:            9:30am
Got out of Bed at:            10:30am
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.
