Of course they didn't. &amp;nbsp;They got worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a very determined and head strong person. &amp;nbsp;I've always been that way. &amp;nbsp;I'm also a perfectionist which lead to procrastination. &amp;nbsp;Notice how both those words start with P. &amp;nbsp;I need to find a new letter of the alphabet to relate to. &amp;nbsp;I know i'm not making any sense. &amp;nbsp;In fact, i'm shaking my head at myself as i type this. &amp;nbsp;Oh and please don't mind those uncapitalized "i's". &amp;nbsp;That's just me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is my 3rd day trying to force myself to get better sleep. &amp;nbsp;I'm starting to get drowsy because i took some Melatonin. &amp;nbsp;Now, that's no guarantee that i will fall asleep. &amp;nbsp;It just sort of pushes me in the right direction. &amp;nbsp;That's it. &amp;nbsp;I'm a hard one to make sleep. &amp;nbsp;It would take a lot, trust me. &amp;nbsp;I figure that's from years of having this problem. &amp;nbsp;And the fact that i'm a light sleeper sure doesn't help. &amp;nbsp;It could also be the fact that i think too much. &amp;nbsp;Maybe a combination of all? &amp;nbsp;I guess it doesn't matter. &amp;nbsp;Regardless, i have a hard time falling asleep even with the help of a sleeping pill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So i'm trying to get myself to start sleeping 8 hours again. &amp;nbsp;Eight hours of uninterrupted sleep would be nice but for now, eight hours of anything will do. &amp;nbsp;So far it's working. &amp;nbsp;A miracle? &amp;nbsp;I think so. &amp;nbsp;In the meantime, i will be working on my organizing skills. &amp;nbsp;I read that it's hard to sleep when your place is messy and disorganized. &amp;nbsp;I see papers everywhere. &amp;nbsp;Ok, first step.............baby steps..............&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6917636943769724469-7780458766386786639?l=positiveambiance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://positiveambiance.blogspot.com/feeds/7780458766386786639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6917636943769724469&amp;postID=7780458766386786639' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6917636943769724469/posts/default/7780458766386786639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6917636943769724469/posts/default/7780458766386786639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://positiveambiance.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-start-this-blog.html' title='Why start this blog?'/><author><name>Nature's Prism</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08270292338304843072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_DpxJV1JrnGA/R4_qdXjDXCI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/Ti959Ch1GTU/S220/The_hunt_begins.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
