Sleeping from 5 am - 3 pm
I’ve been having a problem these past few days: I sleep from 5 am - 3 pm. And, personally, I think I suffer from a mild case of insomnia, so that doesn’t make it any easier to fall asleep - especially when I’m not tired; even when it’s, say, 3 am, I’m not tired. Heck - it’s 5:15 am right now as I’m typing this post, and I can’t get to sleep!
There are really three options to go with to try to solve this problem:
- Force myself to sleep and then wake up at 7:30 am, which is when I wake up during school days. The advantage of this would be that I’m set into my regular sleeping pattern immediately, but the disadvantage would be that I would be on roughly 1 hour of sleep for a day - which isn’t any fun at all.
- Force myself to sleep and then wake up at a later time, say, 11 am, so that I more gradually get into my regular sleeping pattern again, which is the advantage. The disadvantage would be that I might not be sleepy by 11 pm or so, which is when I’m trying to get to bed so that I can wake up in time the next day at 7: 30 am.
- Don’t sleep tonight and just sleeping the next night. Advantage? Not requiring to force myself to sleep. The disadvantage? No sleep for a day.
So there you have it. I’m aiming for option #2 since I know I’d suffer from lack of sleep with #1. I also have an algebra midterm this monday (tomorrow) and a calculus midterm the next monday, so I really should get well rested for those.

Just go to sleep every day at 11pm and wake up at 7am whether it’s the weekend or weekday.
Don’t take option 3! I didn’t sleep on Thursday; instead I talked to Victor on MSN until 5 AM where he fell asleep while playing NHL. -.- I felt dizzy when i tried to fall asleep, not leaning on anything, on the bus. And when I did fall asleep, two hours of sleep felt like nothing. Moreover, I had to try act hyper, just to stay awake. When I got home, I fell onto my bed and slept for 14 hours… SO GARY I hope you get the point. lol oh shite Gary is coming back to Toronto this weekend? but damnn it i’m going bowling and to a buffet on saturday… anyways, as you can see… i’m bouncing before i’m very late for class lol
P.S. Exercise or do anything that would get you tired after school, THEN TAKE OPTION 1… it works for me most of the time.
Yeah, I actually ended up doing #3 but then the next day I went for #1. I finally managed to get back into my regular sleeping patterns! Now hopefully it sticks for more than a single day
