I kept waking up!

For about almost 2 weeks, I've been waking up every hour, on the hour. Which is really bed because it's the end of the term next week and that means finals. But I'm so tried all the time, that it's hard for me to study. I'm falling asleep in my classes after lunch and I don't like it.

Have you tried to have a consistent bedtime? Trying to adjust to shutting off the lights at about the same time every day can help. Also, avoid anything that might keep inhibit sleeping. Things like caffeine, sugar, alcohol. I also have to de-stress at the end of the day. If I try to sleep while I am troubled with work, money, relationships, anything...I'll be up on the hour every hour. The best remedy for my has been to literally change the subject on my mind. So I often read magazine articles in bed until I get tired.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
