I realized something this week….sleep is amazing! I’ve been working on my sleep and trying to get to bed slightly earlier. Well, to be completely honest, I was good with my sleep until the last 2 nights when I have become entranced in Yellowstone. Tonight, is the last episode we have so sleep will come back after the depression I will go through when I have to say goodbye to the Dutton’s LOL. Anyway, before that, I found sleep to help me focus and be in a better mood, and deal with my kids and work better. It’s an amazingly simple idea and yet it has taken me this long to realize it.
I have 3 kids, a crazy dog, I am running my business and trying to start my other business so at night when my husband and I have our time together we like to watch a show. We need that time together for us as well as to decompress from the crazy day. So, I would stay up as late as possible not caring about the time I had to wake up because I kept telling myself that “we needed this time.”
But I learned this week, that as much as I need that time, I need sleep more. Because that sleep helps me to be a better mom, wife, businesswoman and human more than that time watching tv. My body, mind and soul needs that sleep. Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t cure my chronic sleep deprivation – as I said I am a mom – but it helps. If I can get better sleep most of the time I will have more patience, energy and become more productive. What a thought! Who knew that the answer to life was sleep! Lol.
It’s amazing what you can learn about when you just stop and pay attention. Switching things up just a little bit can make a world of difference.
Happy Friday – here’s to an amazing weekend with just a little more sleep to help me feel human again.
