I woke up early enough to do yoga before starting my busy day. It felt great to stretch out my body once more. I haven't done yoga in a long time but oh how I love it! When I used to do yoga all the time, I never noticed that my body was thinner or toner like always suggested by yoga instructors. But I have noticed that I'm more awake which is an even better benefit.
However, doing yoga didn't work for me yesterday. When visiting with a friend she said, "You look really tired." In my mind that translates to "you look like crap." I am not upset in the least by what was said; I know I look tired all the time and I look like crap most of the time. Which is frustrating because I get eight hours of sleep every night. My sleep is hardly ever quality sleep.
After speaking with Jake about this, he suggested it was my caffiene intake that keeps me too active to sleep. Well, I agreed with him and decided, once more, that I would quit drinking caffiene. I miss my sleep so much and I miss being excited about what I'm doing because I'm so stinking tired. Now I know that I said I wouldn't do this but this time it's different because it's a short term goal instead of a lifetime sentence. I'm going to not drink caffiene until Jake's graduation. My reward will be that I can get a haircut and get it dyed. I'm pretty excited but nervous that I'll fail again.

Best of luck to you! I hope it works.
Also, if you have trouble relaxing, trying a calcium with vitamin D supplement. Calcium naturally relaxes you, can be taken at any time of day for efficacy and well, it's worked for me. I don't clench my jaw at night anymore...
But it also helps prevent osteoarthritis, which is cool.
Oh, and realize that you are in a stressful time of your life, so caffiene or not, sleep is hard and you'll be tired just for the fact that you are stressed.
Love you.
So far so good. I've gone four days without and didn't even think about Pepsi until after school and I went to go get something to eat. Typically, I used to think about getting a Pepsi within the first hour of my day.
Sleep has been coming better this week but that's due to the medicine I'm taking for sleep to help get rid of this illness.
