On a More Positive Note – The Sleep Thing

The sleep pattern changes have gone on for almost a week now, and writing this will be the last thing I do before heading to bed (it’s currently 10:40pm).

I remain convinced that the habit of being a night-owl can be changed, and I’ve been really pleased with the results so far. There is a feeling of being jet-lagged to some degree, and that’s probably not helping me to get on with some of the work that I need to do rather than want to do.

I AM waking up about 2am, though it seems to be relatively easy to get back to sleep (fortunately) using meditation-style breathing techniques. Even over the weekend I have been awake before 7am, and I have definitely benefited from that in some ways. The jet-lag type stuff has probably made me less productive in other ways – my hope is that this is a short-term thing, and things will click into place after a couple of weeks of the new regime.

Looking forward to the day when getting up as soon as I wake is an automatic response – and for the early part of the day to become a far more productive one!
