Spend part of today discussing sleep habits with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
litovka. She has no trouble getting to sleep, but wakes up in the wee hours of the morning. I personally tend to have trouble falling asleep, but sleep through the night. Waking up is always a bitch for me. I have had days when I woke up and panicked because the alarm was not going off. If it wasn't going off, I obviously must have slept through something important.
I've learned a few things over the years about sleep. When I first feel tired, I need to go to bed. If I stay up another half hour, I'll be up all night. Melatonin helps me fall asleep, valerian helps me sleep deeply.
Certain things can keep me from a decent nights sleep, like sunlight. If I go to bed at 7am, and the room is not blacked out, I'll be up at 10am.
Certain foods can keep me from getting a full nights sleep. Decaf coffee still has a ton of acid and can make me wake up around 4am with bad heartburn.
Then there was that Highlander bratwurst melt. I don't know what they put in them, but later that night I was farting so loudly I woke myself up.
How do you sleep?

Had to be either the chili or mustard on it; never had a problem before, but I haven't had the chili there before.
My sleep schedule is all fubared right now. Up all night, getting to bed between 12 and 5am, to sleep past the alarm at 10, finally get up around 2pm. From there it's shower, dress, find breakfast / lunch, then go to class. Repeat.
Ugh.
