As I begin typing this entry, it's 10:20pm. I don't get enough sleep. Most nights, I think to myself (and Marc and I often say to each other) that we should go to sleep at a nice, early hour. 9:30 is good. It's not like there's much worth watching on TV, and we're up early most mornings.
So how often do we get to bed at 9:30? Oh, maybe once every month or two. How about 10:30? More often, but still not the majority of the time.
Most nights, it's 11pm or later, and that's just not good. I feel better when I get a good night's sleep. Plus, my diet goes better (I really have noticed a difference when I eat well and get enough sleep), and it's just healthier overall.
So why am I blogging? Well, I felt guilty for not writing anything since Sunday. That's funny, since I tell friends that the blog is for them, so they shouldn't feel an obligation to write. Yes, easier said than done.
Here I sit, blogging about not heading to bed early enough. Brilliant. I'll head up shortly. And then I'll read a book! *sigh*
I know better, and I still can't help myself. Is there a 12-step program for the sleep-deprived? In the words of Lili von Shtupp, I'm tired!

So, ask yourself what's keeping you from getting into bed at 9:30? I think it's just one of those things that you just have to make your first priority - no excuses.
Trust me when I tell you that I sympathize with you being tired. I hope you start getting some full nights and soon!
Me too, Jess. Tired. My latest calculations tell me that I am on track to likely get a full night's sleep in about 18 years. Maybe.
Are you sick and tired of love? From below and above?
I'm tired too. From work. But again, I went to be at 1:20am....
I'm sleepy too. I really shouldn't drink water before going to bed. Makes me get up a lot during the night. *sigh*
Dan: You're quite right! Of course, that sounds like you, the fit, dedicated, eats-well-and-goes-to-the-gym type. It's admirable, but I often fail in such things. But, as I said, you're right, and I will try harder.
Cooper: Well, you have a better excuse than I do. Were you this bad before fatherhood?
Cincy: Bravo! Clearly, you're well versed in the classics! ;)
Wayne: That will do it!
ATG: I do the same thing. I drink too much before bed and then have to get up in the middle of the night (or at least earlier in the morning than I planned). Not a great idea, and yet I keep doing it!
