Well, it's 10.34pm on a Saturday night.
I just had a lovely night with some good friends of mine! We had a bit of a run around outside, ate meat pies and watch some cool movies. Keeping it simple! That's the way to do it :) Those guys are like a second family to me.
Anyway, the point of this post is not to tell you how AWESOME my friends are, and how much I love them. The point is, I'm dreading tomorrow morning.
Why, you ask? Well I'm getting up at 6.30am :p I'm playing organ at my church, at the 8am service tomorrow morning. Now, playing the organ doesn't bother me too much. In fact, I really enjoy playing it! In fact, I really love that instrument :) And not knowing the hymns doesn't bother me too much either. I've got an hour in the morning to learn them!
What bothers me, is that 6.30am hasn't been fitting into my sleeping schedule terribly well over the last few weeks!
It's this terrible, vicious cycle of waking up late, and therefore staying up late, unable to sleep, only to preceed another late morning. So, when I do have to get up early, I tend to feel like utter crap :p
I wish there was an easy way to break that sleep cycle problem. But for me, I haven't yet found a formula that works :p
Let me know if you figure one out!
Love u all :)

You *can* write a post on how awesome your friends are if you like... we won't mind. :) hahahahaha.....
ReplyDeleteI do admire you, you know. I wish I could play better... I wish that I wasn't bothered by playing in church... I wish that not knowing the songs wouldn't freak me out...
And you already know my thoughts on the sleep-cycle issue. :P It might not be "an easy way"... but it might be worth a try. :)
Oh, and hey guess what. :) I've been looking around in blogger.com, and if you change your time zone, your post will say the right time as the time that you posted. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your blog.
ReplyDeletePost again already! :)
((no pressure tho)) :P
Yeah, post again already, bro! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think that 6.30am fits terribly well into ANYONE's sleep schedule.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY way to break the sleep-cycle issue is to get up EVERY day at the same time without fail over a long period of time. NO sleep-ins every now and then. Absolute discipline. No hitting snooze. It kills ya for ages, and then one day its normal.
It doesn't mean you can't stay up late sometimes or vary the time you go to bed depending on how you feel (many professionals in this area say you shouldn't go to sleep under any circumstances if you are not tired) but you MUST get up at the same time every day.
The other thing - bedrooms are for sleep (and if you're married, those priveleges reserved for the marriage bed). Its hard when you flat with other people, but desks and computers should be kept elsewhere. Study, work, composing... all of this should happen elsewhere if you want your bedroom to be the optimal sleep environment.
Wow. I just became an expert on sleep.
And I don't practice what I preach, either. I wish I had the discipline to.
