If I don't get enough sleep I am hating life around 3pm at work. I can barely keep my eyes open and forget about concentrating. Sleep is important. Some of the things I do to get a good night sleep is no food after dinner, exercise at least 2 hours before beditme, no tv, computer or clock in my room and plenty of water during the day. I use my cell phone as my alarm. So if I wake up before the cell phone alarm goes off I just go right back to sleep because I know it is not time to get up yet. When I had a clock in my room I would just keep waking up and checking the time. This formula works well for me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419620235154396611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-11027902101701458052011-03-04T00:30:22.938-05:002011-03-04T00:30:22.938-05:00Maybe if sleep is added to the points list it coul...Maybe if sleep is added to the points list it could be qualified with going to bed at a certain time as to facilitate 8 hours of sleep. We can't always control what happens through the night but we can at least try to get to bed at a time that would allow us to get 8 hours under ideal circumstances. For example, I was woken up by a sick child last night but I still gave myself my 5 points because I was in bed at the time I had designated. Maybe this was sneaky of me but I specifically worded my week's goal to allow for just such events. Besides, sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep too;)Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041400625718635878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-40303709307196923452011-03-03T23:58:26.446-05:002011-03-03T23:58:26.446-05:00Great info!

We all know that mommas often have no control over the amount of sleep they get. Also, I often lay in bed exhausted, but sleepless.Pinspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366806682413227609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-49424812423316347302011-03-03T21:30:07.927-05:002011-03-03T21:30:07.927-05:00I can hardly wait for the little one to sleep thro...I can hardly wait for the little one to sleep through the night, it'll be soooo nice!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326923919315870639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-81410211659699798232011-03-03T20:38:21.416-05:002011-03-03T20:38:21.416-05:00This post makes me sleepy!
