Kind to myself: Sleep

If you read my other blog you know that I'm suffering from a little bit of "down in the dumps"... and some of it is situational and some of it is how freaking hot it is, but I know a LOT of it is how TIRED I am.  I have got to get some SLEEP.

I've been trying to go to bed by 9, but then I work night shift.

and I mess myself all up.

And I'm just a mess.

I can't get back to my 9 pm bedtime til' the weekend.
and then I stay up til' like 10.

So, what I'm saying is that I am eliminating naps, and I'm going to be every night by 9 pm.  Unless I'm at work.  Then I won't go to bed until I get home.

Because I like to be safe.

So, here's the questions for you:
  • Do you think that naps help?  I find myself super ornery after them and then I can't sleep at night.
  • What time do you go to bed?
  • What kind of fools work night shift? :)

I stay up way too late and I know it effects everything: weight loss, energy, food choices, attitude, etc. My question is, I've got this bad habit started, now how do I break it? I like to read in bed to help me relax so ideally I'd like to be IN bed, all ready and reading at 9:30, and then lights out at 10:00. That should help me be able to wake up around 6:45 feeling fully rested and great. Right now I don't go to bed until about 11:30 or later and then I wake up around 7:30 and I'm so grumpy and the energy is dragging.
