Never Understimate the Power of Sleep
I started going to bed before midnight lately. It’s been wonderful to actually get some sleep. The biggest kick in the head was the fact that I way overslept the other day. I was up blogging the night before, went to bed around midnight, but still could not get to sleep. I stayed awake well past 2am and through an entire show of “The Joy of Painting.” (I have a post based on that partially written in my head, but I’ll write it later.) When my alarm went off at 6, my head hurt. Bad. So I reset my alarm for 7, the absolute latest I can get away with. I thought a little more sleep would help the migraine, since that’s why I usually get them. I didn’t hear my alarm go off again, and when I woke up the clock said 8:02. I’m supposed to be at work at 8. That really didn’t help my headache, or my mood. So I need to step up my disciplinary efforts to make sure I am getting to work on time and getting enough sleep.
Tomorrow is Friday, though, and I can stay up late then. But now, it’s time for dinner, a little tv, and some shut-eye.
Oh, I know. If I don’t get at least 7 hours of sleep, I feel terrible the next day. Then my sleep patterns get all messed up. But it’s so nice blogging late at night when the kids aren’t screaming at you to help them or climbing in your lap, or your husband isn’t asking why dinner isn’t done…
Oops, sounds like me! I stay up way too late blogging far too often. Last Friday I overslept, too. I wasn’t late to work, but my son was late to school. ;(
Well I’m back to staying up way too late again. That before midnight thing was a fluke.
I stay up way too late just working or messing around on the internet. Some days I hardly sleep. Anymore than like 6 hours, I don’t feel like getting out of bed.
