Falling Awake

OK, the Will to Win idea did not pan out for me today.  I tried, but i could not get into the winning mindset when I was sleepy.

Felt like I was stuck on the sleep train, and I wanted to just keep riding it.

I have a new plan for tomorrow, I am going to try to do the opposite of trying to go to sleep!

• Instead of being quiet I am going to make noises.
• Instead of being still I am going to wiggle and start moving.
• I am going to start thinking of a million things.

All those things that prevent me from falling asleep may in fact help me wake up!

At least that’s my theory. I will post again if this idea works or not.

Fresh Edit:  It works!

I found a small drum and put it next to the bed.  I also found a giant conche horn.

Upon first consciouseness-

• Counted to 10 silently, then again slightly faster, keep repeating until counting very quickly.
• Grabbed the drum and pull it into the bed, started a slow beat, all I could muster up, then after a minute sped up the tempo slightly, a little more, then a little more, eventually I was jammin’ on a pretty fast beat.
• At this point I was pretty darn awake, then I got up and blew the conche horn!
• went to the kitchen and made coffee, brushed teeth, made breakfast etc.

I am quite surprised at how well this worked!
