Did you know that sleep is super important?
You are probably thinking, “Duh!”
Are you actually getting enough? As in 8-9 hours?
I personally notice a HUGE difference between a 6 hour night and an 81/2 hour night.
The lesser leaves me waking groggy and grumpy. Not to mention that I crash later in the day. A full 8 hours makes me refreshed, in a great mood, and ready for the whole day.
My husband and I really noticed this today. Wed night we had a 6 hour night, then yesterday was a 12 hour gig day for the Navy Band .
When we got home we crashed and were easily irritated at life. (Thankfully not at each other though!)
Then last night we got 8 hours of sleep and this morning it was like nothing that happened yesterday mattered. Situations we were annoyed about seemed clearer and less emotionally driven.
What a nice surprise!
So here is my thinking:
If you are finding yourself easily irritated at life or your spouse, ask yourself if you are getting enough sleep. It makes a world of difference!
How much sleep do you get?
