Breaking Habits

Today has been a productive day. Despite of running on only 2 hours of sleep I manage to stay up throughout the whole day up till debate practice.

Lessons learned, never sleep for 4 hours before your bedtime. I tried falling asleep at 2am but my mind was wide awake till 4 am and had to wake up at 6 am for school. It was torture.

I was reading yesterday that anything more than half an hour- an hour is not call a nap but your just sleeping, its actually not as effective as nap because your in a deep stage of sleep rather a nap helps you refresh your mind. Turns out all you really need is a 20 min. nap.
So as tired as I was today, I set my alarm clock for 30 mins (somehow no matter how tired I was it still took me a while to fall asleep.) And it actually really true! I felt so much better taking a 20 min. nap. It said that if you was to sleep more than an hour you might wake up even more tired.
So for now on if I ever come home for a nap I might stick to the 20 mins-30 mins rule.

I'm also trying to fix my sleeping habits. I never notice how much I'm damaging my body with 4 hours of sleep each day. (Well I was aware of it but never really cared for it.)
An average person needs at least 7-8 hours of sleep. APPARENTLY also if you sleep for more than 9 hours it can actually do more harms to your body than good.

Its amazing how much you can do when you google something. I really learned something new. I hope I can stick to my plan this week in trying to get 7-8 hours of sleep.

GO GO GO!

P.S Apparently my debate partner/friend is color blinded. I did not believe him but I guess I was wrong. I just found it hilarious when he told me he can't see BLUE sometime but it is his favorite color! Hahahahas
Then later he told me how he love to eat his lip balm. LOL? I love him though he can be such a abusive lil boy!

The bookmark me and my dede picked out at Borders. Sadly could not find any books I liked. Knew we shouldve went earlier. Who doesnt like sales esp when its closing down!

Our next adventure is to find a World Map poster, just because we both did not know where Libya was. Shameful, yes.



Also...Minute Maid is own by The Coca Cola Company!
I'm a lil more doubtful about its 100% juice now.
