| Boy! I wish I could pass out like that! |
It is surprising that almost all my friends are amazing sleepers. These girls are not just getting to bed and getting their 8 hours, most of them actually get more. Some (who will remain nameless-
For some reason I am not a good sleeper. I stay up waaaaaay too late
FYI- the real reason behind this challenge is to see if sleeping will make a big difference in my mood and irritability. I usually blame those two beasts on my thyroid condition but let's face it - I am not getting enough sleep. I also want to see if I will get just as much done with more sleep. I can't imagine not pulling an all nighter every once in a while baking cupcakes, cleaning up, blogging, promoting the trade show etc..
So here are my sleeping rules:
1. Children in bed by 7:00. I need some quiet time to unwind.
2. Mommy in bed by 11:00. (I was going to start tonight but it is 11:18 and I am still typing this! I know! I know!)
3. No computer past 10:00. That is going to hurt. How am I going to fit everything in?
4. Bedtime routine (Quiet reflective time, herbal tea, hit the sack! Hopefully without the baby.)
Wish me sweet dreams!

I wish i could be disciplined with my own rules also. would love it if the kids were in bed by 7!
thanks for following my blog. I am following you back. Looking forward to seeing your MTM!
Love the pic! Good luck with your routine. I'm working on getting up by 8. My boys play quietly while I sleep and I tend to sleep as long as they let me play (usually no later than 9 but that's too late!) I've been setting the alarm lately and doing pretty well. Goood luck!!
Howdy! I've had a terrific time at your blog! Nice job! I'm your newest follower and would like to see you at my blog.

Well let me know if that works for you! I pracitcally need parental controls on my computer to shut it down at a certain time or else I WILL BE UP LATE!! I have the kids under control w/an early bedtime... I just need to work on mine, haha.

Thanks! Sabreena
Seriously? They play quietly while she sleeps. That looks like this at my house. Big Monkey (next to my face) Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, MOM!
I am a great sleeper, and can pull a cat nap out of nowhere while the monkeys are sleeping - - but I also get what you're saying about needing more.
I have Hashimoto's and saw an interview about walnuts and soy affecting thyroid even if levels are controlled with meds. It took forever to get my levels right after my second kiddo.
Good luck!!
FOllowing from the blog hops....excited to see how the sleep study turns out :)

hi Myrtle! Saw your post on Blissfully Domestic...it's great that your son is surrounded by such great examples of Christ! I feel the same way about my girls...the day to day gets to me and all they see is my impatience. But I hope that they also see the good, and I'm sure your son sees Him in you as well. Kids seem to notice the small things that you do too, like opening a door for someone, for example.
Good luck with your new sleep schedule! Night time is my computer time too, so I know it is a dilemma! Take care!
Thanks for linking up today at Making Friends Monday! I am now following you! I look forward to rading your post! Hope you have a fabulous week! ~Heather www.livingonloveandcents.blogspot.com

Sweet photo! And good luck with your sleep challenge! I'm another one who is terrible about getting to bed on time (case in point - it's 11:00 pm, and I'm not even thinking about bed yet)! Your rules sound like great ones, though.
