Sleep Really is a Necessity :-)

Oh my do I ever feel refreshed and for once wide awake with no foggy brain! Hmmm ok so all you people that say sleep is a necessity, I guess I have to bow down and say you are right.

My body has been sleep deprived for years so it just seems like no big deal for me when I’m just laying down to go to bed at 4am or a little after and actually I’m usually going to bed around 2am, this 4am stuff has been over the past couple weeks. I’m used to running on a couple hours of sleep a night.

But after last night I have to say that I now plan on being in bed by 11pm every night (that’s even an hour ahead of what I ‘planned’ on doing in the past). Go ahead and laugh cause I laughed too when I sat here this morning and realized how different I feel after sleeping last night.

I was in bed by 9:20pm last night! Isn’t that bizarre? I couldn’t believe that I was crawling into bed so early. I’ve been under the weather lately (I feel a lot better than I did last week but I’m still not feeling 100% myself) and I’m sure lack of rest/sleep hasn’t helped. It all finally caught up with me yesterday and by 8:45pm I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore. I was finishing up a client project and as soon as I was done and had it emailed to her I was closing things down for the night.

I can’t say that I slept peacefully all night long and I actually woke up at 2:20am and was awake until a few minutes after 3 (at least that’s the last time I remember looking at the clock) but I still got way more sleep than normal. I feel like a different person today. I woke up feeling refreshed and ‘alive’ for once. I think I even had a smile on my face as I crawled out of bed – not a normal thing for me in the morning! LOL

It’s not even 7am yet and I’ve already completed 2 things off my to do list for the day! At this rate I might actually be able to follow the business hours I set way back when I first started working from home 7am-4pm :-) That would be nice!

    GREAT! I am dancing with ya girl.

    You know we often get lack of sleep confused with progress. I say lack of sleep causes a huge set back in your life because it effects your health which in turn messes with everything else.

    I ‘perform’ so much better when I’m well rested. Daniel’s got two more weeks to start sleeping through the night or I’m taking him back to the hospital and trading him in. :)
