Last week was a very busy one for me. I was running here and there from morning to night for different purposes. All of them were centered around my mom's operation that I have mentioned in my previous post. Well, I am not going to talk about that right now, I am gonna focus on something different about me during all of this.
Few weeks ago I mentioned my sleeping problem in a post. Yeah, I was having a very tough time changing my sleeping cycle. I had turned that bad habit into an addiction, no matter how much I realized about the bad effects of sleeping late at night, I was out of my control. I was like, "This is a very bad habit, this is slowly killing me and I must change this habit of mine." And I am thinking about all of them while staying awake at 3.00 am, acting the same night after night.
In that post of mine @tahminasyed apu pointed out one thing, I couldn't try them out then but now the situation put me in those shoes and I experienced them. She mentioned about stressing ourselves, doing something that would make our body tired. I am a lazy head and used to spend my whole day and night in bed. Which destroyed the idle sleeping cycle and put me into a bad one to suffer in the long run. But the last few days didn't let me sit idle in bed throughout the whole day, I was too busy with different tasks and when I used to return home I was super exhausted, returned to bed early at night, and fell asleep within a few moments. It works, stressing our body, making it tired throughout the whole day lets it heal at night in time. So apu, if you are reading this I would like to reconfirm you about your advice that it really works if any of the others around you having sleeping problems do pass that advice of yours.
Wait let me give you guys a glance at my previous and current condition that I am comparing. I have a MI smart band that stays on my wrist throughout the whole day and night. It has a sleep tracking feature, maybe it's not a hundred percent accurate but more than ninety I can guarantee that from my personal experience.
The above one shows the data from one or two weeks ago, you see? The average sleeping time is around 4:47 am, I used to go to sleep more or less at that time. And used to awake around 12:32 pm. Used to go to sleep in the morning, lol. Let's move on to the stats of this week.
So on average, I slept around 12.42 am, damn! One day even I slept at 10.00 pm, I was super exhausted and slept without even having my dinner. Also, I awoke nearly at 6.00 am one day and on average it shows 7:19 am for this week. Can you see the gap? I wish to continue this cycle from now on.
I would surely try to prepare to go to bed before midnight so that it doesn't exceed 12:30 am. No matter what I must carry on to this good habit which formed through a bad time of mine.
Contrary to you, I have a disorder where I can't sleep for 6 hours a day (usually 5) and have interruptions in sleep. I don't want to use drugs, luckily I don't feel too tired
I can sleep a lot, all I had was problems with the timing. I think mental stress doesn't let us have enough sleep. If you have any stress, let them not have control over you.
Oh, this is not an easy job. But the results are worth the effort
It good if you can continue this cycle of going to bed earlier. Even doctor said we must have a rest atleast 7 hours. So you sleeping by 10pm and woke up around 6am is 8 hours which is good for your health.
Keep the cycle and enjoy the healthy life
10 pm won't be possible for me but 12 would be fine and very much possible.
Thank you for stopping by.
Okay just make sure you have 8 hours rest.
I am happy that it helped. Alhamdulillah, that aunty is fine now. InnShaaAllah soon she will be back to being energetic all over again. You stay put and best of luck with the new charm of waking up in the early morning. I love the morning, the freshness is too beautiful.
I am loving it too. One way or the other I am getting back to track, hehe.
