early night, very early morning

Nov 15, 2010 05:15

After finishing up yet another job application yesterday I decided that I was tired, and, just to be different, I'd go home and get to sleep early. By the time I fished doing my yoga and reading my 1000 words of geologic literature it was only 21:30. I slept deeply and peacefully, till I woke up at 0:34 sweating. Yes, it is that tie of the year ( Read more... )

So my guilty pleasure is watching "America's Top Model"... Currently Tyra and the girls are in Milan. It's very entertaining to watch the girls in cozy living spaces or taking two hours to get to a go see and back. Only to have you write posts with similar information about living in the town. It's like my own, pop culture research project :)

Glad I can help. I didn't even know there was such a thing as "America's Top Model", or that they would go to Milan. However, since this *is* the fashion capital of the world (even I noticed that propaganda!), I'm not surprised to hear it.

I hate being too warm when I'm in bed =/ Although I've turned this to my advantage recently - I set my heater to come on 15 minutes before I'm supposed to get up in the morning, at full blast, so by the time I wake up it's far too hot to go back to sleep and I'm forced to get up at a reasonable time instead of turning over for another, then another 10 minutes. (I have to trick myself into getting up in the mornings, it doesn't come naturally!)

That is a fairly sensible idea. Have you seen dawn simulators? I used one when I lived in Alaska, and loved it. Tell it what time you want to wake up, and about 45 minutes before that it starts slowly turning the light on, in tiny, tiny increments, achieving full bright at the appointed time. At night when ready for bed hit "dusk", and it turns the light off over a 15 minute period, helping your body relax into sleep mode ( ... )

Yes, I know of them and have considered getting one... I still might. It seems like a nice, natural way to wake up - although I'm still not convinced it would actually get me all the way off my mattress and up! I do like the idea of the light slowly fading at night though, it might help me get off to sleep.
