Thou Shalt not Laze
You guys seriously, have you ever been so lazy that you couldn't sleep? Well, for the past two weeks I have had the worst time sleeping ever. I'd go to sleep, wake up a short time later, either tossing and turning or sweating and fighting. Its been triple ridiculous. I work Mon-Fri from 7:30 to 4:30. Have class three days out of the week. Have numerous relationships and am active in my church. In other words I do too much, if I don't sleep, I will die. At the end of the day my mind is real tired.
A few days into it, I decide I'm getting to bed early it kills me. 11:00pm in bed, 3:00am awake. Next night 12:30 in bed 3:00 awake. A different night 8:30 in bed (all phones off, sleeping pill taken, a few days of little if any rest) 1:00 a.m. awake. The problem with theses nights of sleep is not so much the length of time I was sleep, it was more the quality. It was like being awake. I was thinking. I was moving. The only difference was that I was trying really hard not to.
So yesterday, after prayer and reasoning, I went to the gym. I figured that by the end of my day apparently my mind is very tired but my body is not. And for some reason my mind likes to be in solidarity when my body's awake. When I think about it. My job is mental, class is mental, I guess I need physical activity. So I went to the gym. Worked out, took a shower and got in the bed. I woke up at 8:30 am this morning. I was supposed to be at work at 7:30. I was however much more cheerful and productive. SO if you're not getting good sleep go to the gym, or you'll sleep no more.
