Challenge #1 – Day 21 – I Like Pie

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

0 Comments

Sorry I couldn’t think of a snappy title tonight. Really all there is to talk about this time around is I have finally found some consistency. I feel faded and more hypnotized when I do the sleep script, I go right to sleep when I count down and I sleep at least six hours consistently. [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 20 – If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Try To Fixate…

Monday, September 7, 2009

When I started this experiment, things had been on a fairly even keel – save for the drama and antics of those crazy bitches I mentioned in a previous post.  Often, those minor tangles seem like a major stressor until you are confronted with something heavier, like your health.  In my case, my gallbladder may [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 17 – Baby Steps to Dreamland

Sunday, September 6, 2009

I am half-way between day 17 and day 18 and trying to stay awake through the night. Lately, and I think it was the flu, I’ve not been able to maintain my schedule at all. So I go in to work and around midnight I get really sleepy and it becomes difficult to stay awake. [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 17 – Back In The Hypnosaddle, Again…

Thursday, September 3, 2009

0 Comments

I do believe I have pinpointed the reason I haven’t been sleeping as well these past two nights.  It has been just a little too warm for decent sleep.  It was such a small difference in temperature, that the needle on my internal thermometer was just a hair’s breadth on the side of “too warm too sleep.”  [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 15 – Relapse

Thursday, September 3, 2009

0 Comments

I still have the flu but I do not seem to have the inherent sleepiness that goes along with it. As has become standard, I can get to sleep fine which is nice but staying asleep is the larger hurdle. And so it goes. Today I went to sleep right away after I got home and [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 15 – Same Relaxation, Different Day…

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

0 Comments

I really have nothing new to report today.  I’m still operating at a lower stress level.  At this point, I am pretty well convinced that as I continue, I might actually continue to see more improvement. Another interesting observation:  On a normal day, without any outside influence creating an unusually high level of stress (basically, a NORMAL day), [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 14 – Unmitigated Gallstones

Monday, August 31, 2009

0 Comments

Okay, so yesterday I wondered why I was anxious and I wondered if it was because today something horrible would happen.  Well, today I learned that I have gallstones, which is really more of an inconvenience than “something horrible,” but it still sucks.  I have an appointment with a surgeon on Friday, but I plan [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 9 – Let Me Just Test Something…

Thursday, August 27, 2009

0 Comments

(please note, Day 9 occurred on Wednesday) Just as an experiment, I decided to skip the audio at bedtime last night and see if I noticed the difference, and I must say that without listening to the script, I did NOT sleep as well.  While I had been sleeping through the night without interruption and waking [...]

I realize that has nothing to do with this experiment, but I am just so darn glad to be back online…ugh.  Now, back to the topic at hand: (please note, Day 8 occurred on Tuesday) At this point, I am noticing a consistent difference when I listen to my audio script.  I listen to it just before [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 8 – Take One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

1 Comment

Maybe not two full steps back but I feel like I am doing some kind of self-hypnosis hokey pokey. When I did my hypnosis script this morning I decided that rather than whisper to myself seductively like I usually do I would speak louder. I was still going for soothing, just at a higher volume. [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 7 – Success!

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

1 Comment

Okay so it isn’t like an unmitigated success or anything. I still don’t feel hypnotized when I read the scripts but the process seems to work really well to get me to sleep initially and today I slept a full 9 hours. I woke up a couple of times but I fell back asleep right [...]
