I Have A Limit

I have never been a person that sleeps too much.

Even from a young age I have been a night owl, and was always the child up until late at night doing my homework and then up fine the next morning for school.

BB is very like me and does not drop off to sleep easily at bedtime, he never has and he really doesn’t need a huge amount of sleep.

I can keep going on a little sleep for a long time.

But this week, after last week, I have learnt that actually I do have a limit with the amount of sleep I need.

Last week I pushed it way too far, and I know this sounds like the post I wrote yesterday, but it isnt.

This is more of a realisation that actually I can’t keep going on a lack of sleep.

I do need more than just a few hours a night and I need to make my bed time routine a lot better than it has been.

I am a night time scroller on my phone.

It is not a great habit and one that I want to break.

Last night I went to bed with my book and put my phone down and I slept the best I have slept for weeks, I didn’t repeatedly wake up and slept a whole night.

I need to make a real effort to do this more often as it really does affect my sleep and that is a huge thing.

And actually it is a super easy thing.

But something that I am really going to start to do regularly.

Start the day reading, finish the day reading!

And hopefully doing that instead of playing with my phone will give me a better night’s sleep.

As actually I do need it.

And I do have a limit to the amount of sleep and the quality of sleep I need to function.

So I want more of that to be looking after myself the best I can.
