Re: Here's a great blog post by David Seah

I tried to read the blog post late last night and my husband was bugging me to stop and get off the computer to go to bed. So I actually printed it off and took it to bed and underlined and circled and did what I usually do when I need to highlight certain things I read. I fell asleep before I finished it, but I completed it this morning.

I’m on the internet this morning but hey, it’s Saturday! I do have work to do, and I’m going to get to it, but I’m going to have a high protein breakfast like David suggested.

I actually DID wake up 8 hours after I went to bed (no waking up during the night) – one of my former meditation teachers said he could learn to wake up at a certain hour without an alarm clock by forming the intention before he went to bed the night before. I had another friend who also experimented with this. Apart from any other issues (sleep apnea, etc), it is possible to do this, when I’m able to do this, I generally find myself waking up about 1 minute before the alarm goes off. So I am going to start practicing good sleep hygiene again, get to bed at the same hour every night and get up at the same hour in the morning, even on weekends. I may totally fall flat on my face, but I’m going to try it! (BTW, Monday mornings we have to get up earlier anyway to travel, so it helps if I’ve done the early waking through the weekend before so I’m not asleep at the wheel).

Sugargremlin, aren’t you a nurse? I have some nurse friends and I think they have the worst sleep issues from doing shifts.
