Is this a mylot trait?

Tweet

I have been thinking a lot lately about sleeping habits and sleep schedules. Many of us here on mylot certainly have our issues with not enough sleep, can't stay asleep, don't have time to sleep, or sleep in bits and pieces, or are opposite of what our society terms as normal. And I know many of us, myself included, suffer from insomnia. For years, my work schedule was insane, my hours crazy. I made it work and did my work around my kids schedules so that I didn't have to miss their activities, ball games, practices, sports, etc. And I have always been a night owl and really not an early morning person. I thought that maybe in the crazy times we are living in, it was possible that more people than just mylotters have trouble sleeping. I did some research on this, and yes, it's true--at least 40% of adults have sleeping issues. One out of every three adults do not get enough sleep, ever. And many who do not have a consistent sleep pattern or get enough rest have heart problems later on in life. Not the best news for some of us, but it makes sense. For a long time I had my sleep pattern down to a science and I was happy with it. Then son got sick and I had to step up. You know how it is, stress, extra stuff to do, etc. and the good sleep pattern flew right out the window. I am trying hard to ease back in to it unless I feel I need to be on high alert...it's taking longer than I thought, but I am not going to give up trying to get a good sleep thing going again. Someone else can take over this insomnia thing if they want to. How about you? Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you have a regular bed time, and getting up time? I've never been strict about it but I did have a better thing going until the last 18 months or so. I am going to try harder to accomplish this if I possibly can. Pinterest picture
