Why am I writing here when I'm SO tired and can barely think and still have to read my devotional today. Yeah. At least my lesson plans are done... I think. And I know what to wear tomorrow-- that's always a challenge.
I don't think this new sleeping schedule is working very well for me-- I'm so tired so early, at 8 or 9pm, but then I can't sleep anyway. I know, I should give it a few days. The fact that I hiked 13.1 miles today might have something to do with the tiredness, possibly. Or that I went to two church services and was gone for twelve hours.
H is leaving for a week. Sniff. I will miss her because I usually see her three times a week, and today was just a "hi."
I'm glad tomorrow is just teaching and oil change and grocery shopping.
It does take a while to adjust to a new schedule. I remember having the same trouble when I had to have a bedtime for the first time.
ReplyDeleteTreat it like you would jetlag. Get sunshine. Get some exercise in the early or late afternoon to give you energy for the evening sleepiness. If you're not averse to medicinal help, try a very small dose of melatonin before bed.
Make sure you are home at least an hour before bedtime so you have time to settle down, unwind, do your little routines to get your mind ready for bed, and ease into bedtime.
Good luck!
