I've been up since 7pm last night and now it's 1:42pm.

I work a 3rd shift job from 9pm-6am so that's part of my problem, but I just stay up, I do this almost every day and get somewhere around an average of  6 or 7 hours of sleep a day.  I used to only get 4 or 5 hours.. .so i'm getting better.

Drugs are bad. M'kay.
 
I change my swing every time I don't shoot par for the course.

Sometimes. No caffeine after about 9pm is a rule if I want to sleep before 1am. However, some nights I stay up late because it's the best time to be online - most everyone else is gone and you can get work done.

If I'm golfing the next day I get antsy

The only issue I have most nights is that it takes me at least an hour to fall asleep, once I'm asleep I am good till the morning and won't wake up again.

I usually go to bed around 12 or 1 and it usually takes me a while to fall asleep, but I usually have no problem getting a good 8 or 9 hours. Except when it's hot out and I have no air conditioning. I just can't sleep when it's hot. I do have to avoid caffeine after dinner as well, that stuff really gets to me. But I'm no where near insomnia.

Im guility of getting 4-6 hours of sleep during the week.  Its not so much that Im an insomniac, I just lose track of time and next thing I know its midnight.  If I actually make a point of going to bed at 9pm I can get to sleep, but it just never happens.

I HATE the heat when sleeping.

My girlfriend and I recently moved into an apartment that is hot in the winter...can't imagine how summer is going to go...probably gonna have to buy an air conditioner

      Day 203 3-8  Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.

      Lets see, Kapalua, and any other course played on Maui, Hualalai, Koolina and the course where the LPGA now plays the Lotte, Poipu, St Andrews, and Ballyliffen. I think that's it, never chased it but sure do enjoy playing Kapalua, Koolina and Hualalai. Will

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Updated feels Backswing 1. Knees stay at the same depth 2. Shift right 3. Right now it's imagining the hand path going right and up by raising the right arm. I imagine the hands holding the club while it is pointed up and behind me at my right shoulder.  4. Torso (belly) and hips stay facing forward.  Downswing 1. Mostly just straightening in combination with arms down behind me. I know my knees are bent, but it doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel explosive because I am not going from a deeper squat.  2. Hands to right pocket or right foot. It should feel like my go down as my shoulders stay up. Stay taller. I don't need to use the body to get the club down.
