Hi!

Well, yesterday wasn't a really good day. I wanted to get up a 6am, but I put my alarm at 5am... So I closed it, got back to bed, and got up by myself... at 8am. (I had gotten to bed at 9pm the night before). My brain was kinda foggy for the rest of the day, even though I went jogging around noon. I didn't accomplish a lot because of that. So, I learned 2 things:
1) really double-check you alarm clock...
2) Getting up by myself without an alarm will make me sleep more than I need, and that seems to have the same results as not sleeping enough.

Plus, I've started to cut back on caffeine this week-end, so maybe that also explains the brain fogginess...

Also, I'm trying to find ways to get to sleep faster (as I have a tendancy to take up to an hour to get asleep sometimes). As of right now, here are the ideas I have (or that were given to me) as being calm activities that will calm me before sleep:
-listen to radio (or tv without an image)
-read something boring (otherwise, I get hooked and it awakens me)
-imagining the steps required to build or repair something (something my father says he uses, I know, it look bizarre, but it's worth a shot)
-listening to a relaxation mp3 (however, after a few time, it gets to a point where I know what the person is going to say, and I stop listening, so it stops being useful)
If someone has other ideas, I'm all ears.

Not a lot on procrastination this time, but I think that sleeping and procrastinating go together: if you're tired, you don't feel like working. Anyway, got an exam tomorrow, so I have to complete my studying, more next time.
