First , your sleep schedule was not bad . You were sleeping 8 h , which is great . Now if you want to change , you can do it drastically . I used to wake up at 9 am for the past 6 months . Decided to wake up at 5 am for the past month , and I have no problem doing so . If you had only 4 h sleepday the past daysweeks , you should be tired , so normally going to bed around midnight should not be a problem . Don ' t take any caffeine for the next couple a days , go to bed at 11 pm , and lay there until you fall asleep . Sometime it will feel like forever , but don ' t look at your phonewatchlaptop at any moment . And if you want to know at what time you went to sleep without looking at your phone , download SleepCycle . <| sep |> As a Jill Stein supporter , who gave her $ 100 during the election , I can honestly say I have not given her one penny for this . My hope is , she pockets a decent portion of it and retires some place nice . Unfortunately , she is not a sell out type . No idea why she is doing this though , maybe she just wants to get some name recognition .
