My problem with getting me sleep is I find myself always doing one more thing before I go to bed, and then another and then another. I find that when I take a minute to think about if that one more thing is something that really needs to be done right this second or if it can be done tomorrow, I tend to get to sleep sooner because those things really are not that important and can wait. I just decide that my sleep is more important and those things can be done another time.
Along with deciding that my sleep is important, because when I don’t get enough sleep it affects everything!, I picked a time to go to bed that will allow me to get enough sleep and I try to stick with it no matter what else I have going on. It’s hard, but making sleep a priority and recognizing how important it is makes it a little easier for me to get more sleep.

great reminder! I need to get back into the routines I lost over the holidays! They do matter.

I may or may not have bought sleep at one time…I had little twins and I paid a sitter to come over and be with my other children while I slept. It felt a little ridiculous, but I needed sleep SO VERY BADLY.
