Catching up on Sleep

I am finally catching up on sleep. Whenever I change anything about my sleep equipment it makes it hard for me to get to sleep.

Plus using the old machine really messed me up. So I’ve had trouble actually getting to sleep all week. Several nights I got less than 6 hours of sleep because I had to be up the next day.

Yesterday, I laid down to take an hour or so nap, and ended up waking up at 5:00 when my husband got home from work.

However, then I couldn’t get to sleep until after midnight, but woke up at 5:00 — which is when I’ve been waking up, but was able to go back to sleep for almost 4 hours more sleep.

So I am at 37.2 hours on the machine and have had it for 5 days, so I am just past 7 hours a night average. I’d like to get to 8 hours.

I’m going to take a sleeping pill tomorrow night and try to get to sleep for 8 hours. It is always hard to sleep the night before new students and I’ll be getting my summer school students tomorrow.
