Sleeping Fixed???
So many people that actually know me will know that I have a bad sleep schedule. For the longest time I would not go to bed until 5-6 am and wake up until 2-3 pm. I did not know why I was doing this. I was trying everything to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier and nothing worked. I then figured out that it was caused from sleeping in the basement. I only noticed this after me getting my laptop. Yes my computer saved my life. My brother needed a computer and because I got my laptop I don’t need the old computer and I also don’t need the space of a basement. We both switched rooms so he has the whole basement and I have his old ~100 square foot room. Because of the big window above my bed the light helps me wake up earlier and also helps give me lots of vitamin D when I’m in my room on the laptop. In the two weeks that I have been in this room I am waking up almost 4 hours earlier and continuing to get up earlier each day. I believe if I had the East facing room I would wake up even earlier without any extra influence because of the sun rise. Now I know my brother will start to go into the same late night routine as me but by the time he needs to get up earlier I will have moved out.
