My sleep schedule is nuts. I am waking up at 8, 9, 8, 12, 11. I am wide awake now and really oughtn't be. At least there's motion, but I'm skeptical that its just wobbling around a 2am to 10am average, and why can't I accept that? Because I receive self-generated involuntary biochemical rewards when I get up and get started early. Are you sure? Yes. Can you train yourself to generate the same good vibes at any time? It seems simpler to just change my sleep schedule. Sigh...

Been using Voodoo Pad for a few days now and I still like it. Currently I have three files for the three big partitions of my life (ICCB, Volity, Everything Else), though I'm thinking about squishing them into one single file. For now, though, each has a daily journal, acting as the logical trunk for that file's information; all the other, topic-based based start life as branches from those central time-based ones. It's a nice system.

The Everything Else pad's journal actually represents something I haven't done in years: a truly personal journal. While I get my audience-craving ya-yas off right here, I now I have a place for when I need to keep writing, but only for myself. So far, it's more of a daily activity log than anything else... tracking the trajectories of various thingies too boring, private, or both to talk about here, but important to me. And I think it's working out quite well.

If you're the type that has a hard time falling asleep when not really tired -- something I've done to re-align my sleep schedule is to pretty much pull an all-nighter... If you're not getting asleep until 5AM just stay up the rest of the day until about 9PM ... it's tough but after a while I get a kind of 'second wind' and can pull it off. Do this on a day you really don't have to do anything important or when you have to operate heavy machinery (or drive).

Oughtn't? Oughtn't? prog, I'm shocked.

As a person who has a 7th degree Black Belt of Language Utilization, you are the last person in my book that I would expect to say "oughtn't".
