I hardly ever get 8 hours of sleep a night - I know I need to and I try to but something always comes up that keeps me up all night - usually it’s that I didn’t get enough work done through the day so once Lil Sugar goes to sleep for the night I have to finish up a whole bunch of work. This past week was really bad - 3 hours Monday night, 6 hours Tuesday night, 3 hours Wednesday night, 3 hours Thursday night and I’m writing this on Friday night while I wait for the dryer to finish so that I can switch the laundry and we can have clean clothes in the morning so I’ll probably get 6 or 7 hours tonight. That simply isn’t enough sleep and I can tell that I’m overtired - I’m grumpier, I’m not thinking as clearly and anytime I quit moving I just about fall asleep.

Hubby and I talked about it Thursday and from now on the deal is that I can work as late as I need to one night a week. The goal is to eventually not work late at night at all but for now if we can cut it back to one night a week we’ll be making progress! And, I will be calmer, more at peace and more in control of my emotions - that means I’ll have a firmer grasp on my sanity! I’m not sure how this new plan is going to work yet - but something has to change for me so I’m going to do my best to make it work.

What about you? How much sleep do you need and are you getting enough sleep?
