A New Plan

[mmerriam]

I've started getting out of bed at around four in the morning again. careswen and I talked about how since we've lived in the townhouse, I've been trying to sleep the same hours she does, and how for the last year and a half I've been constantly tired, cranky too often, and not writing as much as I need to stay sane. So instead of tying to sleep the seven to nine hours careswen needs, I've gone back to sleeping four to five hours a night.

The difference in the last couple of weeks has been remarkable.

I'm more awake during the day, less likely to get upset or tense of stupid stuff, and I have an extra few hours for things like, well, writing.

Getting the right amount of sleep for you is so crucial. I had somehow forgotten that over the last year.
