October 25, 2015: Got to sleep at around midnight last night (had computer problems that kept me up after 11:30). I woke up at some point in the morning but was so tired I went back to sleep immediately. I'm going to try switching to an even earlier bedtime again, around 10pm. One of the reasons why I often struggle to fall asleep again after the WBTB/FILD alarm is because my father gets up anywhere between 5:30am-8am. My dog (who sleeps in my room) jumps off my bed as soon as my dad opens his bedroom door. I'm anticipating this whenever I'm trying to get back to sleep, and I guess I've been worried that it'll jostle me out of any dreams I might be having. Therefore, if I'm waking up at 2-3am instead and can just get up for the day at around 6am, then that should take care of that concern. Reading by candlelight in the evening can act as a sort of reboot for my circadian rhythm (I learned this a few years ago, when the power kept going out). So I'll be doing that to help me adjust to the earlier bedtime. |
