I love it when websites suggest “more sleep” when you’re looking up ways to get fit, change your lifestyle, have less stress, etc. Like, ok, Karen, ‘cause that’s easy!
I recently wrote a blog post about the importance of “downtime,” but that’s different from sleep. Downtime is about relaxing, giving yourself time for YOU. Sleep is…well, different. And I want it. I NEED it. I’ve become an insomniac, and it sucks.
Websites also give tips on how to get a better night’s sleep. Don’t be on your phone or computer until you go to bed. Read. Play music. Have something on in the background (fan, a noisemaker). None of that works for me. Melatonin gives me restless leg syndrome. Most sleep aids contain melatonin.
Not to mention, I’m a writer, so my brain is always running. Blog ideas, story ideas, and so on.
So, here we are. Little sleep. And little sleep causes long days and grumpiness. No amount of coffee helps.
If you have any tips besides the above-mentioned, please feel free to share!
