We know America is sleep deprived. All you have to do is google the statistics and health problems created by sleep deprivation.
I really fooled myself into thinking my variable bedtimes were fine even though I was in bed some nights at 9:30, or 10:00 or usually 10:45. Since I woke up without an alarm clock, I convinced myself I was getting enough sleep.
This was an easy experiment and I feel a difference.
This nice surprise started during my vacation and I had no nagging issues to drag out my bedtime or keep me awake at night. I will continue with my own self study and share my findings because now I have to deal with the competition between my desire for an authentically restful sleeping routine and the stressful activities that will be crammed into my life.
I will add that good sleep makes my evening chores get done quickly without some type of griping attitude muttered under my breath. I am not tired even though I am turning in thirty minutes from now.
But I am not obsessed with sleep. I am naturally stumbling into the other
issues that interfere with my ability to Live Like Vacation so they will be addressed next.
Diet will be another topic and I've given some sneak previews on that.
Here are more:
-Reducing time on errands through better planning
-The difference between being in control and being organized
-Financial planning
-Overbooking your day
-Responding to mishaps
-The causes and inefficiency of worrying
-The good bad and ugly about social media
-Truly being open to the saying: I had no idea what I was missing
-And more ...
Right now my son immediately responded when I said, "Bath time."
He also likes our new early bed time routine. It used to be a chore getting him to bed. Boy, it sounds like our night routine was chaos. And it was. When you come home from work exhausted your brain functions differently. How normal is it to come home from work exhausted?
Let's delve into that next time.
Keep the Vacation-Feel !!
