Nothing seems to work......Not wanting to face work and the world - It's quiet and I'm on my own at night, i like it. The morning will bring work and people and difficulties and i will need to get my public face back on and everything will be hard work.
Efficiency - Going to bed early wastes the evening, before i know it it will be tomorrow and i'll have to do things again, so by staying up i maximize my free time. This is BS though as i waste most of my free time at the weekend sleeping.....
OMG that is
exactly it! I always think to myself "this is MY time. The only time I have for
me. If I go to bed, it's over". Meanwhile I
love to sleep. I love my bed. I love my pillows. Come morning I'd pay
good money to be able to sleep some more.
I've been what others call a "night owl" for my whole life. My mother tells stories of me being wide awake at 2am when I was 2 yrs old. Driving her crazy. (she finally gave up when I was 9 and let me stay up till whenever).
The alarm is a good idea.
I have a baby, so basically when the baby cries for food around ---am, that's when I force myself to shut it all down and go to bed. But I wish I had some more discipline in the matter!
