The Sleep Challenge

Posted on: 23 January 2010

Currently I'm stuck in the most relentless and annoying sleep pattern. A combination of unemployment, sheer laziness and post-adolescent nocternal altertness (OK I just made that up) has caused me to get stuck in the annoying late-to-bed-late-to-wake repetition loop. But this will change; and this post marks this change.

Starting from tonight, for the next 2 weeks I will be following the following (ha) sleep schedule:

Go to bed at:11:00PM
Wake up at:7:00AM

The scedule allows for a solid 8 hours sleep and if followed correctly, will snap me right out of the sleep pattern and back into normal-people hours.

It should be pointed out that schedule allows for very little in the way of a social life (as non-existant as mine currently is). For this reason, regardless of whether I manage to meet the nightly target of 11PM, the morning target of 7:00PM must always be adhered to. With that said, I will always endeavour to meet both daily targets.

To save cluttering up the blog, I will keep to a weekly-update system. So expect an update next Saturday - the 30th January.
