Since I got back from my trip to the Far East, I’ve been struggling with my sleeping pattern. In short, I’ve been going to bed earlier and earlier and waking up earlier and earlier too. Saturday night was 11:30pm, Sunday night I was tired by 9:30pm but I managed to keep myself up until midnight and then last night I was out like a light at about 10:30pm. Not only that, but I’ve been waking up earlier and earlier. Sunday was 7:00am, Monday was 5:45am and this morning was 5:00am.
Now, 10:30pm is a rediculously early time for me to go to bed and being wide awake at 5:00am is even more rediculous. I guess the timezone differences are really showing at the moment as I’m struggling to concentrate on anything for too long right now too.
I hope things return to normal soon. My cold is getting a bit worse and I’m having to put the heating on overnight in order to sleep well. I guess it’ll take me a few weeks to get used to the weather over here again though.
I’m off to meet with Wil, my boss, for lunch today in order to catch up and clue up on what’s happening in the coming weeks. I need to hit the ground running with work as there are a few important launch dates coming up soon.
The normal working day should resume tomorrow if all is well.
If anyone has any ideas of how to get out of my vicious circle of going to bed earlier and earlier and waking up earlier and earlier I’d appreciate some help!

Babe:
Have you try to Lavender?
Or you may take some Melatonin.

The common theorey is that you should stay up as long as you can in order to get your bed-time correct. The idea is that it’s easier to stay up than it is to wake up. I recommend going to the pub or something with your mates. You may not feel like it but when you come back you should be out before hitting the pillow and sleep for a good while. At least that’s my advice, may not work for you…
