The Importance of Being Rested

I didn't realize how tired I have been until a few nights ago. For the first time in months, I was in bed before midnight...I know, shame on me. I was exhausted, so I put myself to bed before 11 pm. I have not slept so well since the summer of last year. I have determined that I really, really need to go to bed earlier. I have heard that the hours of sleep that you get before midnight are the most important, and most restful hours of sleep that you can get. I agree. My schedule has been a little rough the past few nights, as I have been trying to get to bed earlier, but I have determined that even if I have to be the grandma in my apartment, I will be in bed earlier, and I will be up and at the gym in the mornings. It will take some time to re-form this habit, but it's coming along pretty well:) Here's to getting rid of the bags under my eyes!
