It has been a while since I've made an entry in my sleep diary. Things had been going pretty well other than the fact that I wasn't actually going to sleep when I should have been. My plan of going to bed around 10:30 just wasn't happening. I've been lucky to get in the bed before midnight. Considering that I was sleeping alright once I got into bed.
Last night was terrible though. I had a pain in my side that kept me up all night. Every time I would get to sleep I would wake up after about an hour. That is not a good night's sleep. This kind of made me think...how much does it matter if your sleep is interrupted during the night? Based on my experience I think that it matters a lot. I'm going to do my best to get to bed at a more reasonable time so that I can be a little more alert during the day.

Sleep Diary #4
I'm soooo sleepy! I should be in the bed right now but I'm not and I don't really know why. Probably because my brother-in-law is over here and the TV is on. This weekend in ATL has messed up my sleep schedule completely. I did not get nearly enough sleep over the weekend and now I'm in the hole. It probably doesn't help that last night I didn't get into the bed until 11:30 because I was up watching the season premiere of Lost (which was GREAT). Once I got in the bed it took me almost an hour to fall asleep. Mainly because my husband started snoring every few minutes so then I'd have to kick him to make him stop. I've tried to just ignore his snoring, he doesn't do it often - only when he's really tired, but I can't. I am a very light sleeper most of the time so I need it to be very quiet while I'm trying to fall asleep. The worst sound to me is a ticking clock, I HATE IT! I once spent the night at a friend's house and they had a ticking clock in the bedroom so I took it off the wall and took out the battery. I just can't take stuff like that when I'm trying to sleep. Snoring is almost as bad which is why my husband gets jabbed or kicked whenever he starts snoring and he knows how I feel so he understands, LOL.
I don't have any big plans for the weekend so hopefully I can get some much needed rest!

Sleep Diary #3
It has been a while since I've written a post on my sleeping habits. I actually made it into the bed before 10p.m. Dena informed me that the people should be asleep by ten or it messes up their natural rhythm (I'm not sure that's exactly what she told me but something along those lines). I think I may have even fallen asleep before 10 BUT I was rudely ripped from my slumber by the sound of my husband's phone ringing! I figured that was a bad omen predicting how the rest of my night would go and I was correct. I woke up about 5 times between the time I got in the bed and the time I finally got out of the bed around 6 in the morning.
Even the times where I was asleep, it wasn't peaceful sleep! I had some of the craziest dreams last night which I won't share because you might think I have a problem. When I looked in the mirror this morning I had suitcases underneath my eyes, ugh. Surprisingly I don't FEEL tired so that is good. I am really going to try hard to get in the bed before 10 so that I can be rested for the next day. Plus, if I'm going to do some serious training (which I am) then I need to make sure I have the energy to put my full effort into it. Hopefully once I get back into the swing of things (meaning, getting up at 6 instead of 11) then I'll sleep better.
On another note: we had lunch today at work and they served PIZZA! I mean, wtf, are they trying to make people fat around here???? I'm sure a bunch of people just blew their resolution to eat healthier in 2009 because 3 slices of pepperoni pizza is NOT healthy. I knew that we were having pizza for lunch so I made sure to bring my lunch. It was hard to see and smell the pizza, I do LOVE pizza, and not eat it but I didn't! I actually had the willpower to pass on the pizza which is saying alot for me. I was not about to start off the year by eating pizza for lunch. I'm not saying that I will not eat any pizza in 2009 but I will save pizza for when I REALLY want pizza, not just because that's what they brought into the office for lunch. We are having another lunch on Thursday - it better not be pizza again!
