If only it could have lasted all day instead of the last few hours.<br \/>\nFor those of you wondering, things are going well on my very un-scientific <a href=\"http:\/\/jdblundell.blogspot.com\/2006\/02\/new-thoughts-on-sleeping.html\">sleep study<\/A>. Over the last week I&#8217;ve worked to go to bed as soon as I feel myself drifting off to sleep. My goal is to be asleep within 5-10 minutes of getting into bed. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevepavlina.com\/blog\/2005\/05\/how-to-become-an-early-riser\/\">site<\/A> I read, that&#8217;s the best idea for knowing when your body says its time to go to sleep. If you&#8217;re laying in bed awake for longer than that, it&#8217;s best to get up and do something until you&#8217;re body is actually ready for sleep.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been able to do this pretty regularly, except for a late night at the Jazz Bar Saturday and a late night at work Monday.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve set my alarm for 6 a.m. each morning and amazingly gotten up at 6 a.m. each morning (except for Sunday and Tuesday).<br \/>\nSeveral times I&#8217;ve woken up minutes before my alarm went off (even on Tuesday morn, but I chose to roll back over for a couple more hours).<br \/>\nSo far I&#8217;ve felt pretty energized during the day. So I must be getting enough sleep. I&#8217;ve cut down on my coffee breaks during the day and keep wishing I had something besides soda and odd-tasting water.<br \/>\nI think I&#8217;ll invest in a water-filtered bottle soon.<br \/>\nSo as week one ends tomorrow. I&#8217;ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and as a P.S. I&#8217;d be amiss if I didn&#8217;t add that Matt caught me sleeping Friday morning after getting up at 6 a.m. I got up, got dressed, did a litte reading and found I still had 30 or 40 minutes before I had to head to work. So next thing I knew it was 8:15 and I had fallen asleep listening to the radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a busy day &#8211; well busy afternoon.
