?marisa? added these pithy words on Mar 01 08 at 2:50 pmgo to bed earlier. and the longer you sleep the more tired youre body is during the day. so sleep 8-10 hrs no more b/c if you do youre body will be used to sleeping and it wont want to work. therefor youre tired all day.
cathy added these pithy words on Mar 04 08 at 11:34 pmsleep earlier. you need to get at least 7 to 8 hours of snooze time. take away the distractions at bedtime (e.g. bright lights, tv, etc.). coffee in the morning sounds good, too. not a coffee lover? eat an apple. it’s scientifically proven to perk you up in the morning.
kittykat added these pithy words on Mar 06 08 at 8:44 amsleep a little earlier than your usual. have a complete sleep so you will not feel sleepy during the day. go to bed around 7 or 8 in the evening, perhaps, 9 in the evening the most. and if you have to get up at 8am, you’ll have 11 hours of sleep. it’ll be enough to see you through the day and by the time you’re done with the activities, you’d be too wired to sleep so late…so again, go to bed before nine pm. good luck and sweet dreams
KUJayhawksfan* added these pithy words on Mar 09 08 at 5:22 pmI wake up everyday at 4:30am for work. It sux and I have been doing it for 4 years. I am still not used to it and I still get tired.
But to get yourself more “trained” each day change your wake up time closer and closer to 8am. Dont just try doing it all at once. One day wake up at 11, then 1030, then 10 and so on. You will be fine.
Alissa added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 3:42 amI have never been an early bird. It doesn’t matter how early I get to bed I don’t want to wake up. The worst part of waking up is getting out of bed but once you get moving you’ll start to pep up. If you’re doing something and not just lying on the couch you’ll find that you won’t be tired as much during the day!
Good luck and have fun at camp
