Done To Zen

Today is the 7th day of my trial. I am 1/4 of the way done. I also did something so incredibly stupid yesterday that I have a hard time and knew I was going to have a hard time staying awake today morning. Actually, I sort of did two stupid things, but the first one pales in comparison to the second.

1. I napped during the day. I was dead tired, so I took a nap, knowing full well that it was going to throw off my schedule. I could have gone to bed around noon and woke up at three, which would have been better, but I didn’t even come home until three, so I wasn’t able to do that.

2. I stayed up until 2AM doing basically unproductive stuff. I kid you not. After having to take a nap for being too tired, I stay up until the wee ours of the morning while knowing full well that I’m going to have the worst time waking up the next morning.

The good news is that despite all this, I’ve woken up at 4AM today. The bad news is that my eyes keeping on their own as if they are drawn down by an invisible force. I’ve sat on the bed for a little too long and almost went back to sleep, but I’m now writing this from the couch. Still want to sleep but it’s not as easy to do so.

So: if you’re trying to make a habit out of waking up early and are doing a 30 day trial, I’ll strongly recommend that you not stay up until 2AM on one day.
