Early Morning.

[swestrup]

Well, so far the whole 'rotate the hours' thing has worked. I've been spontaneously falling asleep around 9:00 pm at night and waking up at 7:00 am or so. Thats about 10 hours sleep a night, which is good. I think I needed to catch up.

Now to see if I actually get anything done. Yesterday I did some needful computer maintenance, and worked (ie sweltered) in the garden for a couple of hours. Not sure what the plan is for today yet.

What's your trick for falling asleep? These days I can't seem to be able to settle down until after midnight :-S

[swestrup]

Hard to say. I've had trouble sleeping my whole life. What works for me now, may not work later.

That said, for me, now, the trick is to head off to bed the moment I first feel tired, even if its only 6:00 or 7:00 pm. If I stay awake after that, I'll be up until 3:00 am, but if I head to bed when I first feel tired, its much easier to fall asleep.

I tried to rotate my hours around by staying up later and later. It didn't work for me, maybe because I didn't try hard enough. I found it more do-able to get up progressively earlier every day...
