So last night about 1 am, after I had tweeted, facebooked, and texted a few friends about how I couldn't sleep, I began to think about why I was depriving myself of charging my body for the next day's work!
Around 9 p.m. I usually get sleepy but then The Big Bang Theory comes on at 9:30 and then I have to watch that. As I'm watching, I have the computer next to me so I can do last minute posting, emails. Then I check an online game site that I like and wouldn't you know it - there is a new game i've never played. Suddenly its midnight! Time to sleep.
I go up and lay in bed and start to decompress -or so I think. Actually all the thoughts I have turn into ideas and for fear of forgetting them, I get back up again and write them down which then turns into "well I might as well email XYZ about my idea or write a proposal for it". Now it is 2 am.
Tossing and turning, I finally turn on a sleep ap on my phone but I have to put it on the other side of the bed so I don't reach for it. . . . .
This is like EVERY NIGHT!
I thought I loved working at night because there were NO distractions but now that I'm looking at it, my nights are made up of distractions.
I'm going to try to institute a NO electronics after 10. If I want to use my sleep ap, it has to be before 10 so then I can start waking up earlier. I'll let you know how it goes.
ps. I'm having my computer worked on this week while I'm on vacation so I won't be using it all week. I know I can do it!
