So I think this business might be starting to work. I came home and didn’t go to bed right away so I could pick my girlfriend up at 8 and then she made breakfast so we got sleep at around 9. I got to about 90 on the count down and then I woke up really annoyed that I wasn’t sleeping. I looked at the clock and it was 4:30. So I slept 7 hours solid.
This is especially remarkable because my plans for the afternoon were to go to Gamestop and get the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game and a new Sensor Bar for the Wii. My kitten chewed through the wires on the original one so I went wireless this time. It is a good thing Thunder is so cute given he has a $110 tab on electronics cables at this point. But that isn’t the point. I was super excited to get the new Batman game. It is supposed to actually be good which is a new thing for Batman games. So even with the anticipation with that at fever pitch and my general worry about how much my trade will be worth, I still slept a solid seven hours. So that is awesome.
All that being said, I am also getting sick and I ended up sleeping most of the night as well. So it may be that more than the Self-hypnosis but I submit that I went to sleep before I felt crappy. I woke up with a sore throat so I am taking this as a win. The next couple of days though? I don’t know. On the other hand, I am getting sleep and if I come out of this well rested and then I still manage to have success in sleep then I will take that as an indication that this thing is panning out.
