Living Compassionately

I can’t understand why I do it to myself, but I put other “projects” in front of the necessity of getting plenty of sleep.  Yesterday I was sooooo exhausted, my eyes hurt.  So after my 4 months-Dr. appt. I went to sleep on the couch at 8:30pm and didn’t get up until 3:30am.  At 3:30am I did my “get ready for bed” routine, and then went straight to bed again.  It was GREAT!  I woke up early enough to get my morning walk in, which I haven’t done in a week or so because I’ve been too tired.  Boy do I feel better, not great, but better after getting a nice rest.  I keep trying to tell myself to get more sleep, but it doesn’t always work.  It’s nice to feel the results of a nice rest.
