Is it just me or do days go by that fast?? I mean this day, in particular… why do I feel like I was not as productive as I would have intended? I’m now assessing how I spent the day and why I feel that I didn’t get to accomplish as much as I would have wanted. Was I moving too slow? Did my brain hang most of the time? I’m sure it wasn’t from oversleeping, since I actually lack sleep…Or maybe that’s just it?! I have not been sleeping well enough to make me as productive as a well-rested Thammie could be.
I know we’ve been taught during our growing up years to get eight hours of sleep at least. I have a confession: since becoming a mom, deep down I feel that I could do more if I just subtract a few hours from the recommended eight and that’s what I’ve been doing lately. I usually end up feeling some kind of guilt if I do get to sleep for eight hours. I didn’t realize this until….now. Somehow I’ve been telling myself that if I get to wake up early and sleep late, imagine all the things I can do with all those hours awake!— even if it means that I’ve been running on this the past few weeks:
* if you can’t read the fine print, suffice it to say that this just happens to be a very strong kind of UCC coffee
(Well, it could also be that I am just trying to give myself an excuse to be able to drink coffee….so I can pair it with a piece of cake…but that’s a whole different psychology I would rather not get into!)
Anyway, just tonight I came across some articles on the importance of sleep. As much as I would like to expound on this topic, it is already past midnight so I would have to say…goodnight!!!
PS: I would give you links to sites that talk about the importance of sleep, but that would mean that I’d end up sleeping much much later than it already is, so you can just Google it.
….or maybe tomorrow I can work on it…we’ll see.
