First thing you need to know is that I'm on a new and improved sleeping schedule. I try to be asleep by midnight and up by 8am every day. Instead of setting a "bed time" goal for myself, I've set a "wake up time" which dictates when I choose to go to bed. If I go to bed super-late, I'll suffer in the morning.
My only challenge with this new plan is that I still don't have a job or classes to get up for in the mornings. So far, I've spent my time going to the temple, giving plasma, taking walks and blogging.
To make sure I follow through with this plan, I've built into my sleeping habits an "insurance policy." I usually wake up about three times before I actually get out of bed. Each time I wake up, I leave one of my limbs outside of the covers. By 8am, all of my extremities are exposed to the cool morning air and I'm ready to get out of bed.
I think your "wake up plan" is a grand idea and it will help you so well in your adjustment to school schedule again.
ReplyDeleteMore power to you, B-ryan! You will be much better prepared for anything that comes your way! I sort of do the same thing with the limbs in the am.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of all sorts of techniques and strategies for waking up early, but that is brilliant!
