sleep

Tonight, like every night, little guy picked out two books for me to read to him before bed. One of the two books is called Keeping Healthy. The one section of this book really got me thinking. The section called "Sleep Well".

It says, "After a busy day, your body needs a rest. It has been thinking, moving, and working very hard. While you are asleep, your body has a long rest. You need to get plenty of sleep to stay healthy. When you wake up, you are ready for a new day."

So simple. So true. And after another long work week of not enough sleep these words really stood out to me. Why do I not make sleep a priority? I'm not saying I want to sleep all day. I'm just saying that I want my needed 8 hours.

I must work on this. And I must start now. I'm in my early 30's. If I don't learn how to care for myself now, what will happen as I get older?

So, I will finish up this post and get some well deserved and much needed zzz's. Goodnight. :)
