8 Hours of Sleep

After reading about how Americans have been running around with less sleep than they need. It’s a problem that can lead to grumpiness and weight gain. *laugh* Among other more serious problems.

So I have been trying to sleep for 8 hours. I usually wake up quite early, like 5:30 am, and just lay in bed until I’m ready to get up at 6.

That means 8 hours starting from 10:30pm. My friends will tell you that I usually end up sleeping around 11pm, so it isn’t much of a change. But waking up this morning, I felt a little better.

I also read somewhere that it takes about a week of doing something to get used to it. So I have a new plan:

• Get 8 hours of Sleep
• Wake up at 5:30am
• Work out at 6 am
• Get to work in the morning
• Get home in the evenng
• Either 1) read a book or 2) play some Disagea or 3) watch a movie or a TIVO’d show
• Sleep by my bed time

One baby step at a time. This week sleep early. *laugh*

At least I’m not ill anymore. ^_^ That’s a bonus. I’m also going to try to update the site more. Perhaps a redesign? I feel kinda bad. Most of this site is dedicated to my love of anime and manga, but I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and most of the links are dunzo AND most of the information is old. This site used to have information about manga & anime that was not available in the US.

Luckily, the world of anime & manga has grown so much in the US that my site seems really dated. I’ll have to fix that. Hm, maybe it will go on my list. ^_^
