Sleep at a reasonable hour, and the sametime every single night. I used to be a nocturnal creature, watching movies or surfing the net, till about 01 or 02AM. So, sleeping early, viz., 0930 or 1000PM was a challenge the first few days. But if you stick to your guns, the body/mind gets into the routing pretty quickly. Once into the routine, i could get up at 0430 or 0500AM, without any problems, rather, I just could not get myself to sleep beyond 0500AM. This made my day very productive, 'cause I used the extra hours of my life to reflect on myself, plan my day and get some morning chores done, before Mrs. KK gets up. This is way better than mindlessly wandering the Internet or watching movies. regards KK I know this is an old post, but here are my two cents that worked wonders for me. eat atleast 2-3 hrs before bedtime, and don’t eat anything just before you go to bed.

I think your tips were really good, but as your friend, there are so many ways to wake yourself up, the only problem with me is, nothing can get me out of bed. I just tell myself "five more minutes" and when next I see the clock, it has been one hour since I last saw it, how can I counter such a situation? And I have to study alot, I need time out of bed, not in bed. Regards, Samira Hello!

I always keep my window open, it does, however get shut by my pa when he goes to bed, because he doesn't want the house to get too cold. Even if it IS California... I find that in the morning I am too muddled to think of my situation. to be mindful. the breaths help. but i can't really bring myself to that state of mindfulness. this comes easiest in the evening. i'm a night owl, and therefor feel chipper and I can focus, meditate, and do things like walk and talk in mindfulness. Any suggestions? Thank you for your response and your blog! I just started one of my own =) http://snowylullabies.wordpress.com/ Blessings, Andrew. hello, I quite enjoy your blog, and this is the first post that I discovered on The Daily Mind.
