i’ve been having a really terrible time getting to sleep lately. for a while my course of action was to get up and work on a project until i absolutely couldn’t keep my eyes open, but this isn’t working. apparently i can still pull all-nighters pretty easily (especially if i’m focused on something) – and so i end up getting an hour of sleep and being dead at work the next day. (on the other hand, the next night’s sleep is great!).i saw a post on sleep tips over on lifehacker, and read the articles and the comments. and so, here’s my new plan.
* sleep from 11-6
* start winding down at 10. this means putting the poor little laptop to sleep, dimming the lights, and using that hour to read something that won’t infuriate me, and/or meditate.
* when the alarm goes off at 6, get my lazy ass out of bed and into the shower. (i’m terrible about hitting snooze.). after the shower, stretch and do silkweavers.
* no coffee after 6pmwe’ll see if it helps. project SleepSoundly starts tonight!

anybody else have any tips on sleeping well?
