WHEEEEE!!!~~~ itx the end of my behavior program! I hereby announce its closing ceremony! =) It was a successful program for me as I managed to reduce my average napping hours and maintained zero napping hour days for more than half the total number of treatment days. In fact it was better than i expected!

Self control behavioral modification program is really helpful as i managed to remove the behavioral excess of napping in the afternoon. I hope the results can maintain even after the program has been removed. But it is ok, even if my napping habit comes back again, i know what to do! =)

I feel that initially, it was the aim of wanting to accumulate stars to get treats that spurred me on. But after i accumulated 2 sad faces, the fear of getting the punisher of 100 situps deterred me from sleeping. Finally, after the treatment has taken place for some time, I realised that I do not think of the 100 situps or sweet treats much more as it became an intrinsic motivation to stay awake in the day time.

Last night, even though i only slept for 5 hours, i managed to stay awake in the afternoon clocking zero napping hour. This was comparatively very different from when my program initially started. On treatment day 2, when similarly, I also only slept for 5hrs the previous night, I ended up napping 2.5hrs to compensate for my lack of sleep.

I see a major improvement in my napping habit. This cheers me up greatly! =) I will do my very best to maintain the zero napping hours even after the program has stopped! It made my life better as I had more time for other activities such as studying, shopping, watching tv and even dating! =P

I AM SO HAPPY! I am FREED FROM ZZZ MONSTER!
