I've been finding it hard to balance sleep, housework and work work during this month. Fasting has really thrown me off my schedule.
I keep telling myself as I get into bed 4 hours later than I planned, that tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow I will just accept that I can't get everything done and that I need sleep more than I need an organized home. But tomorrow comes and goes and I find myself in the same dilemma. Up way too late stuck on something that could have been done in the morning.
I realize that its because I never truly believed I would sleep early the next day anyways. I was just hoping I wouldn't be up that late. I don't know why I lie to myself, pretending it will be different but I do know that I need to take control and make it stop. The reality is that not sleeping at a normal hour is bad for your biological clock and messes up your body's functionality in so many ways. I know this, but I still do it.
Hopefully now that I have admitted it, I will make a stronger effort to not do it anymore. We'll see :) feel free to berate me if u see anymore 3 AM posts! In the meantime, I would love to hear what things you do that you keep promising you will stop. Maybe telling me will help you on your way too...

T! I nominated you for a liebster award!
ReplyDeletei need sleep too. I always say to myself, "sleep at 10!" never happens... I ended up sleeping at midnight. boo.
RIMA!!! Thats so sweet of you and kinda crazy! Hubs and I were up two nights ago trying to figure out how I want to deisgn my blog and I had some of my fave ones open and your's was one of them!! SO honored by the nom :)
ReplyDeleteSleeping early is one for sure. Also, getting up early and not rushing out the door to get to work. Sleeping 10 more minutes will not make me less tired. But, maybe if I sleep EARLY, I won't be as tired hehe
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean!! It sounds simple enough, but why is actually going through with it soooo haaaard?!?
DeleteThis is what I'm doing right now. I should be asleep but after 11 or so is my "me time" when the apartment is quiet and I can watch what I want on the DVR or read blogs. I also know this is why I've had a cold for two weeks. :( It's a daily struggle against myself!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! The sooner we go to bed, the more efficient we are the next day. it just seems counter-intuitive which is why it is so hard to accomplish. But for sure, our productivity, waistline and skin will thank us in the end! :)
