Pray one hour

In one of my Rabbi classes we are tasked with praying for a hour a day all at one time. I think this is a good practice to be in and fall out of the practice. He strongly encourages prayer in the morning this doesn’t work for me because the minute i get up dad seems to want to be up. So I like my prayer time at night which is where I’ve had them in the past. I aught to do some serious prayers about adult acne treatment because my face has been breaking out badly lately and it unpleasant. So I been trying to pray my hour this week, and I don’t know why but it seems like within a half hour no matter what time I try to pray I been falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. If I pray I fall right back to sleep, so hmm maybe I need a distraction other then quietness.
I might decide to make a worship list on my mp3 player, but the problem there is I might need to find a lot of different songs or I will be singing a long with it. I gotta figure out where my guitar cord chart went, or at least my cord book because I can’t find neither and forgot how to play a few cords. I know worship is an effective way of talking to G-d but it also can sometimes become a hinderance for me depending on how much of a singing mood i am in.
