Day 4: A turnoff -- sleep or awake?

Goal: 7 am
Max amount of time allowed on the bed: 100 mins

Superego: It's time to wake up! U have to meet the criterion in order to exchange for the reward.
Id : Nope~ Today is Sunday. So, everyone will just sleep on both ears. U no need to attend classes what, why so SERIOUS?
Superego: If u wake up now, you can have more time to do your assignment and presentation slides. Moreover, your Mummum is waiting for you to feed it.
Id : Buddy, don't distress yourself. Life is simple and easygoing! Enjoy your sleep, Mummum is just a virtual pet--it won't really "die"~
Superego: ...

That's the conversation between my "devil" side and "angel" side in this morning. As a result, Id won over Superego and I didn't get out of my bed until 926 am...

Today's moral lesson: Never ever have a negotiation with these "little voices" in the head!! Say "NO" whenever the discussion starts.
