This realization dawned, when I found myself ready to sleep anytime, and wishing for sleep.
Googling 'sleep addiction', I confirmed my fears.
Trying to be more cognizant of my addictions, I decided to watch myself. Lo and behold - I soon found several addictions I was unaware of!
While it wasn't alcohol, I found I'm also addicted to surfing the internet, and TV. These addictions, eat away my time and keep me from being productive.
Being in my twenties, these keep me from being productive, or spending time in activities I want to do. Not the nicest situation.
Since I'd rather do something about this, I have decided to go for my own deaddiction regimen.
1. No sleep anytime except night, and only 8 hours of sleep at that.
2. No wandering aimlessly on the internet - get on, do my work and log off.
3. Stay completely celibate.
All three need willpower to keep off, and I'd try to fill in with something productive I can get done - so I don't fall into a new addiction (computer games did start creeping up).
My mind protests to no end for these stimulants - but when the wave passes, I sense a peace.
I plan to keep this up for some time. I don't have a deadline in mind. Let's see where this leads, how I feel.

I so relate to sleep and surfing (sex i dont get) and one thing that is getting my sleep lessened is the fit for life diet- now i have too much energy and often find it hard to sleep on schedule...
surfing still remains a tough one since i live in a small town with almost no social activity...
good luck!
Hey Buoyant - can you tell me something about the fit-for-life diet? I might want to try it.
Thanks for sharing!
