Okay, as I just wrote in the coffee thread, I have no problems falling asleep whatsoever. I close my eyes and I'm asleep almost immediately, for the whole night pretty much.
It's the waking up that's the hard part.
I set myself two alarms almost every day. This morning is a classic example of what happens ... I get up and turn them both off, then go back to bed and sleep in another 4 hours
Actuallty or at the very least would be more appropriate ... possibly even given how dozy and brain-dead I feel for the rest of the day. Even after drinking coffee and a ton of water I can't 'wake up' properly until sometime in the evening around 7-8pm ... and then I feel -really- awake and don't want to go to sleep until gone midnight .. AND SO THE CYCLE REPEATS ITSELF ...
Today is the first time (in a good while) that I've actually missed a lecture because I chose to sleep in instead. I was meant to get up at 8. Lecture is until 11, and then my plan was to go food shopping, bring it back here, then head to the library and work all afternoon.
It's now twenty past one and today I have:
- looked at forums
Unfortunately this is the NORM rather than an exception ...
Bad sleep patterns = demotivation = wasting time ... I have so much I need to get done as well.
Does anyone have any idea how I can force myself to get up earlier? It sounds kind of silly cause it's just something I should be able to -make- myself do ... usually I'm pretty good at just -doing things that need to be done- but sleep is like a DRUG at that time in the morning .. ALL I seem able to think about is scoring more of it ...
I guess earlier nights would be a start ... easier said than done ..
