Modification Plan. The behavior that I am targeting is going to sleep early normally I stay up late watching TV and using my phone on Facebook, texting, and on Instagram. Since I go to sleep late it’s very hard to wake up in the morning and I feel tired all day. My plan is to go to sleep between 10:30pm-11:00pm, every night. But before that I have to study, do homework etc. So, what I’m going to do is to finish everything up by 9:00pm every night so, I’m able to go to sleep between 10:30pm and 11:00pm.
Therefore I am going to make a chart based on the week days to record the time I go to sleep each day and put a check mark if I went to sleep early or an X if I didn’t. One of my positive reinforcements is that I will feel awake and alert during the day I’m going to be able to stay focus and do what I have to do in class. The other one is that I get to stay up late on Saturday’s. My negative reinforcements; one is to wake up even earlier the next morning, at 6:15am and go to sleep by 9:00pm and the other one is that I’m not going to be able to use my phone after 8:30pm.
My goal for this action plan is to go to sleep between 10:30pm-11:00pm. I need 8 hours of sleep; sleep is an important part of life so I need to fix my sleeping habits now. And by going to sleep early I’m not going to be so tired in the morning and so much can be done after a good full night of sleep yet, it’s going to be a little hard because my body is used to go to sleep late and it’s not that easy to fall asleep early. But, it’s not impossible anyways. Let’s see what happens.
