One of my many moments in life came about when I finally realised in my 50’s that how tomorrow pans out in terms of my attitude, my money making, my delivery and my actions pertaining to food and exercise IS based upon how I set up the evening before tomorrow.
My day really starts at 2000hrs.. Not 0000hrs.
Sleep is not something that I truly enjoy. The tinnitus in my head creates a war. When the room is silent, my head is still ringing like a fire alarm. I have to sit or simply lay and listen to the noise. Habituate to it. Then allow myself to sleep.
Dark, cold room. Phone in another room or out of reach.
Kitchen shuts at 2000hrs. This is late but I am often not back home until 1930/45 ish so it gives me enough time to eat.
I will sit and write in my diary. An unload of my head. An unload of life and a plan and schedule for tomorrow. I also copy this into reminders so it is all on my phone.
Bed latest at 2130hrs.
30 mins to adapt to my head. I know I am squared away with admin so all is done.
Sleep. If I am bringing Lady Luck I may sleep till 0500hrs. It seems to be the norm for 0300 to 0440hrs. If I wake up, I do tend to get up.
Get the rest I need, follow the routine and tomorrow is 9x out of 10 is better than it would have been. I get up, I get out with the dog. This sets me up for the day. A win early doors.
Just something I have discovered that works for me.
Onwards. Best go to bed.
