Ed's Note: Not that he's weak and likes being curled up in a warm little ball with the possibility of erotic dreams. It was sabotage.

It turns out that the writer of one of my favourite web comics has another sleep suggestion for those with flexible schedules.

Make sure you leave your mouse over the comic to read the pop up text.

I was feeling tired, but resolved. I had a plan to keep myself awake. I was enjoying having the extra time.

It was really hard to get up after this one, but now, about 20 minutes later, I feel alright.

I did whack the snooze button once though, and I've got to stop doing that, as it might be defeating the purpose. Duh.

Funny, I think this is just a subconscious reaction to my alarm, as it's what I usually do when I wake up feeling tired. It's like I'm forgetting what it is I'm trying to accomplish in the first few seconds of waking.

I remember having a strange dream where I was playing recreational volleyball with some friends and there was no net. And I woke directly from this dream when the alarm went off.

Unfortunately, I can't sleep when I'm supposed to, either.

Jumping up when my alarm goes off has never been a problem. (Mostly because I never actually fall asleep.) The problem has been not staying up long enough to resist the temptation of going back to sleep.

During all my naps, I wasn't able to fall asleep at all, and when my 4am nap came around, I did the old "sit on the bed" trick after I turned off the alarm, and the next thing I knew, it was 11am.

The drill goes like this: every 4 hours, I go to bed and set a nap alarm for 30 minutes. I go to sleep, and wake up 30 minutes later when the alarm goes off.
