1. I can't wait until the Holidays are over. The best part about it are the cookies my mom and I have been making. 2. How can I fix my sleep schedule? It's to the point where I don't fall asleep before 2am and don't wake up until 11am and it's getting very old, very fast. Part of the problem is I don't have much to do during the day or at night for that matter to tire me out.
Easiest way I know is to do some physical activity. make yourself physically tired.
Problem with that right now (paging flagamuffin too) is that I have this going on which means I've gone from running 3x a week to 0, and I also don't have a gym membership at home. Guess I could do core workouts but those don't do as much for me (and are incredibly boring).
Running indoors is fine if and only if it's on a track. I really dislike treadmills and all of their ilk. Running outdoors beats everything else. Maybe it's a winter thing for me too, could be new shoes or the fact that I'm running more frequently. Either way, it's not fun. Why do you kinda hate gyms?
Well the ones I have most experience with our crowded college gyms. Thirty different kinds of weight equipment, all designed to work one single muscle cluster, all incomprehensible. Lots of people, very few of them doing anything constructive. Six square inches to do pushups. Loud and odd-smelling.
I should do that. Even on nights where I'm not using a screen prior to bed it takes me at minimum 30 minutes to actually fall asleep, unless I'm exhausted. f.lux and Sleep as Android are good ideas too.
Note there is a distinct lack of scientific evidence here but it works for me. I stay up a full 24 hours and then fall asleep at the time when I normally want to fall asleep. Then I normally find myself falling asleep around that time from then on.
Seconding coffeespoons and mk -- I built my schedule around not getting up before 11am anyway, but if you want to fix that, go for a nighttime jog or do a lot of jumping jacks and then take a hot shower. Or just lose the computer about an hour before you want to be asleep, get in bed with a book, and you'll probably crash fast.
