I'm still struggling with getting to bed on time. That certainly is a priority goal when the alarm goes off in the a.m., but somehow I get a surge of energy just when I should be winding down. Even if I get to bed close to when I'd like to, I wind up picking up a book in order to wind down, and then I read until it's too late.

The plan for last night was to bring my homework (which keeps getting put off as well) to bed, work on that for 30 minutes and crash. Instead, since I was late getting up there, I opted out of the homework. This was the right choice, as I didn't want to spin my brain up. The wrong choice was when I picked up the inevitable book instead. It wasn't as late a night as it has been recently, but still later than I'd like.

I think the answer is, strictly no books after 9:00. Period.
