5-8-09 - Slept well but was up early

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Friday (Thursday into Friday)
Started Relaxation time: 11:30pm
Got in Bed to read by: 12:15pm
Turned out lights to sleep by: 12:45am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 1:10am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 6:30am
Had alarm set to: 8:30am
Got out of Bed at: 10:15am
Total Time I slept: 5 Hours and 20 Minutes

Last night I decided to relax and watch some tv with mom and dad from 10 to 11.  I then watched the news, drank a chamomile tea, and chilled out.  I got in bed around 12:15 to read, and turned out the lights to sleep. I used breathing techniques, and the process of boxing out thoughts from my mind.  It worked more or less, and I was asleep quickly. I then woke up probably about 20 minutes afterwards because I was hot so I cracked my window, and fell asleep again quickly.

The next time I got up was about 6:00am, to noise and I was coughing.  My window was open so was it too cold and making me cough? My allergies are acting up so that could be it as well  with the window open.  The people upstairs were also making a ton of noise.  I would say from 6:15am till 7:50am the guy was complaining and talking and yelling.  That sucked because I couldn’t get back into a rhythm of sleep any longer.  I then pushed the alarm further, and then again.  I sometimes think I am better off just getting up on days like this, so I will then be more tired the next day.  I am going to try that instead the next time I am up and wide awake earlier than expected.

I am starting to wonder if my body feels better and is more in tune when I get a little less rest time in bed?

4-23-09 - Slept but woke up early too

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Thursday (Wednesday into Thursday)
Started Relaxation time: 11:50pm
Got in Bed to read by: 12:00pm
Turned out lights to sleep by: 12:50am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 1:20am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 4:15am
Had alarm set to: 7:55am
Got out of Bed at: 9:15am
Total Time I slept: 3 Hours and XX Minutes

Last night I came home later and didn’t want to get my brain working so I decided to shut down the computers around 11:45pm, and hop in bed to read.  I read till about 12:50pm and decided to crash, and was actually feeling tired. I fell asleep in a decent amount of time, but was wide awake at 4:15am.  Got up and got a drink, but I was wide awake and laid awake till at least 5:30am. I eventually dozed off a bit and my alarm first went off at 7:55am, but I snoozed and then reset it to 9:00am.  I got out of bed after laying there feeling beat down tired.  Once I was up I feel good, so I think I need to practice just getting out of bed no matter how much or little sleep I get, and start the day.  I can always decide to sleep more on a planned day if I need it, so start pushing the limits and get up regardless!

4-8-09 - Slept Good but Woke Up too early

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Wednesday (Tuesday into Wednesday)
Started Relaxation time: 12:30pm
Got in Bed to read by: 12:30pm
Turned out lights to sleep by: 1:05am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 1:50am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 5:45am
Had alarm set to: 9:30am
Got out of Bed at: 9:50am
Total Time I slept: 4 Hours and XX Minutes

After reading for a bit I turned out the lights around 1:05am.  I slept deep all the way until 5:45am when I woke up. After a while I got up for a drink of water and got back into bed.  I tried to fall back asleep but it was very tough.  I remember around 7:00am I got up and closed the shades so the light wasn’t coming in as strong but it didn’t seem to help. I dozed in and out of sleep and laid there till about 9:50 when I finally got up.

Not sure what it was that kept me up, but I really should be just getting up at a certain time no matter the amount of sleep I get.  This way i’ll be more tired the next day and get back into a good routine.
