Sleep

I have been trying to live on 6 hours of sleep so I have the time needed to do everything I need to do in a day.  It's not working. I find myself incredibly tired around 3pm and there isn't anything I can do about it but wait for the kids to be asleep.

Another thing I notice is that being tired makes it hard to make a good choice.  I find myself not really caring about what I want to eat. It's almost like I resort to a primal instinct. I'm hungry, so I eat. Doesn't matter what it is, or what it will do to me as long as I get full.  If it's there, I'll just grab it, because I'm tired and don't want to think.  Luckily, this week of trying to live on less sleep, the cupboards are a bit bare of snacks, so it's easy to not...snack.  If there were some goodies in here, I can guarantee that they'd be eaten.

Right now I feel as though I am rambling, not making sense.  I probably am, because I'm tired.  This tired-all-day feeling isn't really worth the amount of work I get done by staying up.  I am going to try to convert to early bird-ism next week, and fight my natural night owl. (Late at night, I can often be found doing what this man is doing in the picture)

  1. That's just like me!!! Being tired TOTALly makes it hard for me to make a good choice. :( And I live like that, with a husband on nights and three small kids. I've been trying to move up my 'bedtime' by just 10 minutes and reall try to be firm about it. ha! But at least I'm trying. :)

  2. It's probably the next big challenge in my life next to eating. It's soooo much easier to stay up than it is to get up. (Even when I go to bed early)

    You have the right idea...just keep trying! And we will! :)
