MY SLOGAN: TREAT YOURSELF!


Hi my name is Jen - I am 33 and married; a graphic desinger, a big sister, movie lover, horse rider, and board game nerd.

advice

I have a horrible sleep pattern. It never used to bother me much, but now the realization of how much it can hurt my body has kicked in. I really want to change it, but it's really hard for me.

12:00AM/1:00AM - 5:30 AM
SLEEP

6:25AM - 2:17 PM
SCHOOL

4:00PM - 8:00 PM
SLEEP

Then the whole cycle restarts. I really want to change, but changing a pattern completely out of nowhere is very hard to do. Any advice? I would like to start sleeping around 10:30 or 11:00, but since my body is so used to how I sleep now, those times are too early for me. Plus, I also have a lot of homework and fitness I need to fit in too. Help, please??

The first thing I would do is get rid of that evening nap. That is what is toatally screwing you up. Taking a nap every day is probalby causing you to be more sleepy threw the day. You'll do MUCH better with a soild 7-8 hours of sleep rather than breaking it into 2 shifts.

I am at my most active bettween 4-8. If I took a 4 hour nap every day I would always be tired.

And just think, if you got rid of that nap - look at all the time you'd have to do stuff.

Get rid of the nap. You don't need it.
