Yeah, I can get evenings, but then I am too tired to do any of the hard thinking or doing.</p>\n<p>As I was wallowing in my dissatisfaction and self-pity yesterday, I came across this article on 99U – “<a href=\"https://99u.com/workbook/37249/your-snooze-button-is-making-you-tired\">Your Snooze Button is Making You Tired</a>“.</p>\n<p>Mind you, nothing new about the article that I didn’t already know. But sometimes, the re-iteration of what you already know at the right time is what is important.</p>\n<p>And so, as I read it, I am telling myself, “Yeah! I want to be one of those people who wakes up at 5.30am irrespective of what time they went to sleep”. And so I have decided on the no-snooze experiment.</p>\n<p>Starting February 1,2015, I will, for 90 days – till May 2, 2015, wake up at 5.30am everyday. I will set my alarm everyday for 5.30am and wake up right away – no snoozing allowed. Once I wake up, I will be up for at least 4 hrs before taking a nap. Only outs for me – extreme sickness or medicine caused drowsiness.</p>\n<p>I’ll check back and report every 20 days or so.</p>\n<p>This is going to be an interesting experiment.</p>\n<p>May 2015 Update: I give up. I have failed at this experiment and I still snooze!</p>","frontmatter":{"title":"The no-snooze experiment","date":"January 28, 2015","url":"/the-no-snooze-experiment/","tags":["Thoughts"]}}},"pageContext":{"slug":"/the-no-snooze-experiment/","previous":{"fields":{"slug":"/2015-01-26-modesty-or-fear-200-words-project/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Modesty or fear? – 200 words project","url":"/modesty-or-fear-200-words-project/","tags":["200-words-project"]}},"next":{"fields":{"slug":"/2015-02-02-listening-with-fresh-ears-200-words-project/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Listening with fresh ears – 200 words project","url":"/listening-with-fresh-ears-200-words-project/","tags":["200-words-project"]}}}},"staticQueryHashes":["3128451518","426816048"]}
