Do you sleep when you are tired or you do not find time for that?

Well, if I stay up past my betime of 11:30p,. sometimes sooner depending on how I feel I will oversleep the next morning. I'm one of those people my body just shuts down if I don't get the proper rest. I might call in late to I get it together. This does not happen very often, because I usually go to bed pretty early if I'm not mylotting or watching the news. If I'm at work I have to tuff it out. I will go to the restroom and put water on my face.

Well, I like to stay up very late at night and I have to wake up early for school. So there are plenty of days where I really need some sleep. I occasionally do sleep in class when there is nothing really going on and I'm behind someone, but this is really not the best idea! It's best after a test and everyone else is still working. But I really find that taking naps makes me feel like there's not enough hours in the day.

I just currently finished a little research project on sleep because my daughter has sleep trouble and I was looking for a solutiton. I found that sleep deprivation can sabotage weight loss efforts, lead to depression, and shorten attention spans among all sorts of other things. Like most people, I usually "pop till I drop". My day to day life is sometimes very hectic and sleep, regaurdless of how tired I am, is always my last priority. But on occassion, it catches up to me. I hit the couch and stay there. I only get up to feed my family or break up kid fights lol. I think if more people took the time to research sleep patterns like I did, they would find that simply adjusting your bedtime a 1/2 hour earlier of getting up even 20 minutes later can have a significant impact on your exhaustion level, stress levels, and emotional response. I'm working on it myself.
