How I Wake Up

I have been recently trying to wake up at a more reasonable time. When I say reasonable, I mean before 10:30am. For a whole week, I was doing so well. I woke up around 7:47 (I have a weird thing with odd numbers) and would go downstairs to pour myself a glass of orange juice. I repeat: I was doing so well. What happened?! I would set my alarm for early and everything would be fine. Then when I woke up at almost 8am, I would hit snooze until 10:30am. By the time I rolled myself out of bed, poured my orange juice and sat down to watch Hulu (as I do every morning after I wake up), I would realize that half my day was already gone. I live to regret not getting up earlier everyday. The regret continues when I am not tired once 11pm comes around. I have tried to sleep and I end up just lying in bed, eyes open, counting sheep, listening to nature sounds, not sleeping. By the time I am tired, it's 2am. I can not wake up at 8am if I go to sleep at 2am. That is not going to happen. Therefore, I am stuck in this vicious circle of not sleeping how I want to. If I do wake up at 8am, I need a nap at 6pm meaning that I would go to sleep later. On top of all of this, I need to do my homework. I procrastinate so much it is a surprise that I accomplish anything. I know HOW to be productive and to do things. I just don't. I've been working on it and I hope I get better at it. I guess we will just have to see where the future takes us. And if the future isn't going to do us any good, I'm going to buy some ZzzQuil.
