Sleeping - Too Much or Too Little?

There are many different ideas about how many hours per night that people need. Of course this depends on your age, health, and circumstances. Those that cannot sleep can get tired of hearing how you need to exercise, stay hydrated, less electronic stimulation at night, time needs to be the same and on and on it goes from light to temperature. When it comes down to it each night brings a new challenge to those that do not have an easy time sleeping.

It does not matter whether it is due to stress, depression, too much on your mind even if it is good, if you have trouble you have trouble. One gives suggestions to others that have trouble, not to say that they can solve theirs even if you cannot solve yours, but to hope that they can benefit from one of the many options available, so that they can report their success and renew your hope that you too may find a solution.

When you are depressed, you do not want to get out of bed. You may not be sleeping, but you will be in and out of it and have zero desire to get out of bed even when you wake up. Then you get on medication to help your depression and guess what? It causes drowsiness. Imagine, now you feel like you can or want to get out of bed, but cannot keep your eyes open long enough to do so! Yeah.

When daytime sleep cannot happen for even a few minutes or you will be up until 5 am instead of 3 am, but you do not get out of bed until 1 or 2 in the afternoon??? This is a definite issue when you have to take care of things in a house that is hard to take care of, but yet the best time to do so is early in the morning when the house is empty. When the house is not empty you do not want to clean much less be in it.

When you have a position, you need to get up regardless. However, you find yourself finding excuses, or running down and doing enough quick enough to make it look like you have done enough hours to make it worth having you here. Balance, balance, balance. Outdoors are amazing, walking, riding bikes, swimming, the weather year round is worth going out in. Mornings are best, less heat and people.

This blog was not meant to be personal, just a diatribe...how it turned into a personal one I am not sure. Guess I need to assess the situation eh?
