Enough Sleep
I came to the realisation the other day that since getting my job last year, I have focused my life around getting enough sleep. Normally, I’m in bed by 9:30-10:30, depending how tired I am, which is really early compared to my old ways which was at least midnight before heading to bed.
I don’t care about having fun, getting work around the house done, etc. – nothing else matters as long as I’m getting enough sleep. I’m constantly watching the clock, and as soon as 9:30 pops around, I’m thinking about getting ready to go to sleep. “Oh, it’s getting late”.
I want to focus less on sleep, because I wake up at 7:30 most mornings and to get my 8 hours, I really only need to be asleep by 11:30. I want to focus on having fun, going out, having a good time in my life. I don’t even practice my spirituality any more, which is a huge deal for me because it’s such a huge part of who I am. I don’t go out at all any more because I’m so focused on what time I need to be in bed by. I want to do the old stuff, and stay up till 2 or 3 in the morning (and not because I can’t sleep!). I miss having a social life (not that I had much of one to start with), and I want to go out and get on the dancefloor – although my confidence lacks in this area – and all in all, I want my LIFE back.
Do any of you have the same problem? Any of you focus on getting enough sleep?
