In addition, I want to stay in bed until 9-10am. If I wake up earlier, again I will stay in bed to let my body know that a 9am it's time to wake up. I have this tendency to wake up super early at like 7am after only a couple of hours of sleep if I've overslept the previous day. What normally happens is that I stay awake until about noon or even 1pm and then am desperate to fall asleep again. If it's a work night, I almost definitely bring myself back to bed and sleep until I have to go to work. This only screws up my sleep schedule even more. I'm well rested for work but I then find it difficult to go back to sleep at night.
Thus, my new plan of attack is to force myself to lay down from 1-9 each night. I figure if I can get to bed every night by 1am and force myself to wake up by 9am, I can condition myself into a regular sleep schedule. Of course, from 9am-midnight, I am not allowed to take a nap. I need my body to learn that I'm not going to let it sleep or wake up whenever it wants me too. You can plan life around that. People need a schedule. Our bodies are actually meant to adapt to the schedules that we set. So hopefully, I can keep this up and start to make myself a normal human being again.
See that Denise, you just started typing and now you have another post.
