For some reason, I stay up late every night. I have two children who get up early in the morning, and I truly need my sleep at night. But I stay up until midnight or later most nights. I can feel the lack of sleep really starting to take its toll, but I still don't go to bed early. I have a lot on my mind...this must be part of it. Another part is that I get all of my quiet time at night when the kids are in bed. It's hard to give that up for some sleep.
So, do I give up my only quiet time for sleep, or do I give up my sleep for quiet time? There must be a way to have both. Maybe alternate evenings with one or the other. Hmmm.
