Are you concerned about sleeping too much or not having a regular sleeping schedule? If you aren’t earning enough money from your blog to quit your day job and you want to keep on blogging then you desperately need time. Since there is no boss in the world to let you decrease working hours, people usually decrease sleeping hours. Is it possible to sleep 5-6 hours a day without turning in to a walking zombie??
If you have sleep related problems; you sleep to much, you can’t get a regular sleeping schedule and you don’t have the hope that you can live with less sleep; believe me YOU CAN. I am a live subject of transition from disordered sleep to a regular sleeping schedule with 5-6 hours of sleep a day. While I was student (good old days), I usually slept 10 hours a day and some days with no sleep some days with all day sleep, I was like a statue of sleep disorder. My awake hours of day always shifted. For a week I was awake during day time another week I was awake during night time. I didn’t believe that I could change this.
Sometimes you have to go the hard way. My days of slumbering have ended when the called me for military service. (It is mandatory in my country) Believe me when you wear the green uniform and boots you can’t say “moom i wanna sleep five minutes more.” For the first month I was going to bed at 10 p.m. (after a whole day of walking and exercise) and they woke us up at 4 a.m. (Every time it was like a nightmare) After getting used to sleeping 6 hours with working out whole day, at weekends an 8 hours sleep was like a gift to us. It was a good experience to see that my body is capable of living with 5-6 hours of sleep. The problem is you can do training, run, duck, shoot and other physical stuff while you are sleepy. You don’t have to use your brain too much when you are a soldier.
The things are a little different while working. When I started working I tried to get used to sleeping less hours like i did in the military but I was sitting sleepy all the day yawning and unable to focus on my work. One day I saw about a vitamin mixture that overcomes chronic fatigue. I am prejudiced about medicines actually. I try to avoid medicine as much as I can to keep my immune system up. So I made a research about this pill Pharmaton; it is mostly and vitamins (which is okay to take with pills because we can’t synthesize them in our body) and Ginseng extract. At first I taught that it was one of the killer “Lose Weight” drugs. When I made a research I saw that it is a Chinese herb (okay Chinese but not killer:) widely used and have no significant side effects.
I started taking the vitamins. At the end of first week I could feel that I wasn’t sleepy anymore and I could concentrate on my work. I can say that I could even get up more easily. (Even I got used to sleeping less waking up is always a torture) Maybe this is placebo effects playing tricks on me but I am happy with the results. I only take them on week days (I still like to reward myself with a good sleep at weekends). Even not mentioned I have to note one side effect. You get nausea until mid day (Especially if you didn’t have a good breakfast). I have the stomach of a bear and I can eat every kind of meat, vegetables, oil, sugar ,etc.. without any problem I don’t have a sensitive stomach but I get nausea with those pills. So be cautious if you are not a bear 
Anyways with or without pills it is possible to arrange a better sleeping schedule to your self (Without the pills you need military discipline). The joy of staying in the bed is better than anything but if you need the time for your work, blog, friends, family then “Welcome to Hell”.
