Kicking the Habit

So posting to this blog has been difficult for me, what with all the stuff I've had going on with my other classes and work and everything. But as for my sleep, I'll try to catch you up on what's been going on.
For the last week, my sleep habits were slightly more erratic than last week, as I had a lot of homework and papers and quizzes and last minute exams to cram for. This cramming brings to light another bad habit - procrastination. I've found that trying to get rid of this habit has brought a many other bad habits of mine to light...funny how that works. I was doing my best to get to bed on time, however often I could. A suggestion I was given in class - getting up at the same time every day and finding out when your body naturally needs to go to sleep - has been rolling around in my skull for a while, and I would love to try that...but I think I'll have to do that come summer time...it'll be easier to focus on it. Right now I wake up about 6:20 every morning during the week to get to work in the morning or to class...I've been staying at my house and have to commute....its just easier in the evenings (the dorm idea was kinda stupid). Come the weekend, I'm out til 1 or 2 and wake up whenever I need to, which is usually 10 or 12, which also makes up for lost sleep during the week.
I've been trying to get myself into little habits before I go to bed, like reading a bit before I want to go to sleep, etc. I think I can improve and have slightly...but this is gonna take a while, and at the end of the school year is probably not the best time to do it. I really think I'll continue to do this in the summer though.
