Regular sleep schedules seven days a week dramatically decreases persistent worry and pessimistic thoughts reveals new research in the journal Cognitive Therapy and Research. Are you willing to pick a bedtime and stick to it? I personally like to stay up late and get up early. Unfortunately, my body does not function well with this schedule. On most days I try to head for bed around 10:00 pm and plan to get up sometime after 6:00 am. My body likes to have 8 hours of sleep even if my mind thinks I need less. I am going to encourage you to make some changes that will do wonders for your health. Pick a bed time you can live with and stick to it for a month. Try it, you might find that you like living a life that is not filled with sleep deprivation.
