When I had a really regular schedule I went every single night at the same time to bed and got every morning up at the same time (even on weekends). Due to that sleeping schedule I fell asleep ASAP, slept through the night and woke up in the morning few seconds before my alarm clock rang. Those were great times and totally worth it! Unfortunately my working schedule and my daughter wont allow this anymore. 

Why did you not buy a Switch yet? Are you waiting for anything in particular?

Yeah it's a huge convenience in this day and age. It's also a timesaver because once you start sleeping so well you find out you need a lot less sleep. Right now I need 8.5 to 9.5 hours just to feel well rested. Hoping to be able to cut it down to 8 hours, and eventually 7.5 with good consistent sleep habits. 

I am curious: Why is loosing weight on a higher priority than having a child?

I had to change my lifestyle a lot to achieve that. I hope your environment will show understanding for your decision.

Since I hit puberty I was always overweight. The birth of my daughter motivated me enough that I did something against it. It was one of the best decisions I made in my life. 

- Cut back on my drinking like 80-90%
- Lose 20-25 pounds or so (lost like 30 pounds awhile back but in the years since then I've pretty much slowly put most if not all of it back on)
- Land at least a semi-decent salaried job
- Be more assertive in getting back in touch with friends (been drifting away from social life which was kind of exacerbated by my old shitty overnight job)
- Get into dating life or at least try and meet women
- Get back to creative writing
- Get back to animation, at least a bit and to submitting a few works I've completed to festivals (submitted one and got nominated for an award but I kind of petered out after that)

I did 1 half marathon in 2017, and unlike that event where I didn't train I've been working to get fitter, so my aims for 2018 are:

- Complete 3-5 half marathons (I've booked 3 so far starting in feb, but in actuality I'll probably end up doing about 6-7).
- Finally release my indie game... been working on it in my spare time and its been a struggle, but its time to get it released and move on.
