I've always had a mentality that if I say I'm going to finish x, I finish x before going to bed. This, as you can imagine, means that I have a very unreliable sleeping schedule. I probably average 5 hours a night every week.
A really good comment I read on HN a few days ago recommended that I set an alarm for going to bed not for waking up, It's been working really well for me.
- yitchelle 13y agoDoesn't the hacker in you just forces you to ignore the alarm to go to sleep?
- xSwag 13y agoI forced myself to go to bed for a week at midnight and now I start to feel sleepy/tired around that time. I also stopped drinking coffee or energy drinks after 6pm.
- aaronblohowiak 13y agoKudos. For some people (like me) the caffeine has to stop around noon in order to get a good night's sleep. Caffeine metabolism is highly variable between people, so it is worth experimenting on.
- Kaivo 13y agoI often end up almost entirely stopping coffee as soon as a term ends. Last time I did, I also forced myself to go to bed earlier and do some work at home before leaving for work. It worked for quite a while but as the term progressed and work from both job and university piled up, I started to not have time to follow this strict schedule and to drink more and more coffee. It's very difficult when your schedule is tight, but I believe it's better to stick to way nevertheless. Tomorrow, I'm starting this schedule again. Keep going on yours!
- japhyr 13y agoThis is such a good idea. I definitely reach a point where staying up later does absolutely nothing for me. I can get more done in one extra hour in the morning than I can in two or three hours past the time my body needs to go to sleep.
