My target behavior that I desperately want to change is taking long naps.
The reason I want to change this behavior is:
1. It takes too much time out of my day.
I am getting more busy by the week with tests to study for and attaining an extra job. My naps throughout the day range between 1 to 4 hours even during school days and usually after the naps it takes me more time to get back to being productive.
2. I need self-control.
I feel like a baby that has limited energy and a set time to take naps. As soon as I conquer this feat I will feel accomplished in being a young adult who is more responsible in dealing with time and controlling my schedule.
Although I am aware that a nap is needed once in a while to regain energy from a tired day, my naps have become a routine, or dare I say, bad habits that force me to sleep even when it is not absolutely essential to my survival. I want to re-set my biological clock and decrease my nap times to 30 minutes a day and gradually take it only when necessary.
Thanks for reading!

Plethora, what great word choice. Like yourself I am also a full time lazy bum. I also am fickle in choosing a major, but i am hoping Occupational Therapy will be the way to go. I too need to exert self control in terms of naps, however my naps are only an hour maximum. I wish you luck with your behavior change. I am interested to see how you accomplish this goal.
ReplyDeleteHey Gimin! (:
ReplyDeleteNaps are always great, but I can understand why you wish to not take as many naps. It can really take a lot of hours for "productiveness" from your day. I take really short micro-naps as well, however I can see that our "target behaviors" are somewhat related, and I wish you good luck in minimizing your nap time!
Hi Gimin!
ReplyDeleteI used to have the habit of taking naps too, then I stopped because I would be up until 3 AM to do my homework and be tired in the morning again. Self control is the hardest part. Hopefully your classmates can help you in some way!
