The New Sleep Schedule

So work has been keeping me busy but I have managed to start a new sleep schedule. It's working out very well so far so I thought I could update the world on what's happening. I am attempting to sleep as close to 8 hours as possible every night while going to sleep and waking up at the same time every night. I want to measure how long it takes before I can tell it's time to go to sleep without looking at a clock and when I start waking up without an alarm.

Of course there are some variables that have to be taken into account. My uncle visited recently and I was up after my bedtime a few times because of that. And on weekends and holidays I am letting myself sleep in. This is not just to catch up on any sleep that I might need (I find that I sleep a lot in the summer) but also serves as a gauge as to how I am progressing. After only 5 nights of going to sleep at 11 and waking up at 7 I found that I was awake at 7 on the weekend. But I felt like shit so I just went back to sleep. Still, I woke up at 7 all on my own. Pretty good for only a work week of practice.

So that's what I'm up to. I had some X-rays done on my ankle and elbow and have to schedule an appointment with the sports medicine people here. Gonna be fun on a bun. I might shift my schedule to 10-6 so that I have more time in the morning. And I really don't do anything after 10 so there's no point in waiting for 11. Maybe then I can keep going on my nuzlocke run. Speaking of which, I'm making pretty good progress. You can trace back all my progress from the video above.

Till next time.
