Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey! Or rather, not eggs and bacey at all, but a nutritious meal made out of fruits and seeds.
Normally I take all my commitments really seriously, so taking the challenge of Dukascopy Marathon to me means committing to a challenge every day. To fully dedicate myself to my chosen tasks I divided my marathon time (21 days) into 3 weeks, and 9 tasks into 3 at a time, or rather 3 tasks per week. So this week my motto is …
“Cut out lactose” “Pump up thigh muscles” “Sleep 8-9 hours per day”
Being a hard-working person I normally stay an hour or few extra after normal work hours since I tend up to come a little later than my colleagues as well. Starting from yesterday I knew this cannot go on any longer so I forced myself to go to bed at 23.00 (never happens, normally) and wake up at 7am which allows me to sleep for 8 long, desired hours. Have a look at me, all happy, bedtime ready, nearly falling asleep with excitement…
Sleeping is important and we all know that. It plays an important role in our physical health, since sleep is involved in healing and repair of our heart and blood vessels. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart and kidney disease but why, oh WHY is it so difficult, so unbearably difficult to get to bed at a normal time?
I have researched that normally a number of people complain that it's difficult to get into the habit of starting sleeping earlier. Instead, it's much easier to start waking up earlier and then just fall asleep naturally once you are tired. For example, if you tend up to wake up at 7.30 every day, instead set your alarm half an hour earlier (i.e. at 7.00) so that you get used to that and start getting sleepy a little earlier, too. So this time my challenge gets even tougher as I am trying to go to bed every day around 23pm and waking up at 7am or even earlier. Fingers crossed it goes well tomorrow as well... First day, or rather, first mission has been accomplished successfully!
