NOW…
plan your day AROUND sleeping!
(at first, plan when [EXACTLY when] are you going to sleep –
then schedule everything else!)
Id37-iD50
8 hours
per day
is not that unachievable
if
you consider it in the context of all
human life-spam
Think about it!
There are 24 hours per day
8 hours should be left for sleep
24/8 = 1/3
1/3 of your life should be slept
No problem!
