To deny this feels unnatural

To deny this feels unnatural.

How’s the daily routine?

A daily, regular and intentional bedtime?

A daily, regular and intentional rise-and-shine time?

Health benefits that pay long-term dividends.

The ability to awaken without hitting the snooze?

The excitement for the gift of another day?

Of course this isn’t possible everyday. Life happens. But fight, daily, to create and sustain a healthy daily routine.

Otherwise we’ll be fighting daily to compensate for an unhealthy daily routine.

Getting eight hours of sleep is a renewed focus

Eight nights ago i got 10 hours of sleep. This is big. And every night since then has been 8 or 7.5, including the last three nights clocking in at eight.

Eight hours of sleep two nights in a row.

Long time coming.

Must. Make. It. The. Standard. Not. The. Exception.

Little rest for the driven?

Time for lights out. Above, this was the last photo i took on the final night of The Osborne Dancing Spectacle of Lights.

 

Lights out.

i really need to get a grip on my sleeping habits. For two or three months now it’s been challenging (nearly nonexistent) to get eight hours per night.

Finding the need to take a mid-day nap of anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour; whatever my work load allows.

Sleep is an asset

Eye glasses
We see what we want to see. Not seeing the obvious may mean we don’t want to.

 

Sleep is an asset.

So even though yesterday was a rest day, meaning no run or gym, there can still be active accomplishments.

As simple as actively ensuring we get our optimal rest. It varies for each of us. Mine is eight hours.

It hasn’t happened in several days, but last night i got 7.5 hours.
