Are you wide awake late at night but have trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning? Do you glare over the rim of your coffee cup at the people who are super chirpy early in the morning? View Post

I’ve had trouble getting to sleep for the longest time. Sometimes my brain is just on overload and I’m thinking about all the things I have to do, replaying things I have done and coming up with great ideas for things I want to do. I usually get around four hours of sleep a night, although occasionally my internal monologue goes something like this…
“If I go to bed now, I’ll get eight hours of sleep.
If I fell asleep now I’d get six hours sleep. Six hours is reasonable…
… okay, now I have five hours …
… four hours ….
… this is ridiculous, can I even function on two and a half hours of sleep?
Ugh, an hour until I have to get up. Should I just get up now?
… *snoring*”
Oh man, what have I done? I’ve become one of those people who actually enjoys exercise! Don’t get me wrong, dragging myself out of bed before 6am so that I can pull on my walking shoes is not my idea of fun at all, but as part of my knee rehab I have to walk to build up strength, so it’s gotta be done. Not to mention those endorphins, holy moly – that makes getting up early so worth it!
Something I’m really passionate about is looking after myself as a whole – making sure I drink enough water, eating mindfully (and not feeling bad when I eat chocolate), sticking to a skin routine, and making sure I get out and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Part of that also includes looking after my health.
