Sleep

Sleep is an essential part of our day, but it’s something that seems elusive to us. We’re so busy throughout the day that we end up trying to do more than we have time to. Even after dinner, we’re still trying to get things done as if we were at work, which consequentially interferes with our sleep schedule.

And even when we get a chance to rest, the hours we sleep don’t seem to be enough. We’re tired when we wake up–grumpy even. We just want to hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. We feel like something has snatched the time from us, like the day is too short to get everything done and sleep.

Getting a goodnight’s sleep is something that everyone knows is important and essential for a healthy life. If so, then why does sleep seem so scarce? Why does it seem unattainable when it’s something as simple as going to sleep?

Maybe it has more to do with how hectic our lives can be, how much there is to do and accomplish within a short period of time. But if we prioritized sleep the same we did with everything else in our day, perhaps we can accomplish that as well.
