Ughhh... I'm... so... tired...

The first night I tried to LD, I said to myself that I would wake up in the middle of the night and remember my dreams, which I did. But now it's happening every night whether I wanted it to or not!

This is very useful for dream recall, but if I wake at sunrise I find it really hard to get back to sleep again. My curtains are paper-thin and the sunlight comes pouring in; it's like trying to sleep with the light on! Sunlight doesn't wake me if I'm already asleep, but if I'm awake anyway it keeps me awake. I've just spent a long, boring three hours lying awake in bed, when I could have been sleeping, or even LDing!

How can I make myself wake up earlier, before sunrise, so I can get back to sleep again? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!
