I have discipline issues with my inner child, LOL

I think I really need to stop snickering at people who go to bed early. It would be downright wonderful to get full seven hours of sleep a night - but the thing is, it hardly ever happens. Even on weekends - because, as I've recently noticed, my body has gotten so used to waking up around 7 a.m., it simply refuses to sleep afterwards. No matter how late I stayed up the previous night. As a result, I might get even less sleep on a weekend than I do during the week - which is simply ridiculous, as well as totally wrong. I think I haven't gotten more than 6 hours a night for the past week.:/ Which basically makes me feel like a deflated balloon. Barely six hours might have been enough at some point in my life, but it isn't so any more.:( In addition to feeling tired and devoid of energy, I am also constantly hungry - like, every two hours. And I know from experience that when I am well rested, I don't need to eat quite that often. Another thing: I tried to do a simple, relaxing balance ball workout a few days ago - and I felt so damn weak I could barely move a limb. I'm pretty sure this is also related to lack of proper rest. And it's just not funny anymore.

So, note to self: your new bedtime is 11 p.m. Every day. No exceptions. That means you start getting ready for bed at around 10 p.m. - just in case the evening bathroom routine takes a little longer than it should (which it usually does). By midnight, you're supposed to be ASLEEP already - not just turning of the bedside light (or the computer). Unless you really WANT to feel like crap in the morning - in which case, who am I to interfere? Go ahead, just don't complain to me afterwards.

Yeah... another result of mental exhaustion might actually be a split personality disorder, LOL.

Okay. Enough. GO. TO. BED. *growls*

Yeah, that sure sounds familiar. *g* Welcome to the 'getting close to the old hag age'. :P *ducks* It's amazing how the body changes it's needs without giving you much warning.

I find I need more sleep while my aunt and sister need less as we get older. Haven't figured that one out yet. WD has it right: body changes without much warning. Good luck with your new plan!
