I NEED more SLEEP!! To add to all the mental exhaustion of being single I am physically exhausted. I seriously don't get enough sleep. I used to have the routine of going to bed at 9pm and getting up at 5:45am and going to the gym, but that lifestyle flew out the window when I became single. When you're married or in a serious relationship, you learn that there is always tomorrow. That person you adore so much and spend every waking minute with will be there tomorrow. The conversion can be finished tomorrow, the activity can be carried on tomorrow. But, when you're single you get this brain freeze and tomorrow doesn't seem to exist. That friend that you love hanging out with may have a boyfriend/girlfriend tomorrow and won't have any time for you. So what do you do? You stay up late hanging out till the wee hours of the morning to saver the time you have together.
There has got to be some way around this crazy way of thinking because actually have a job. It's not like when I was a kid in school, all I had to do was show up and I could sleep through class. I need to keep my job and my boss isn't so happy when I am a space cadet. There has to some thing in the girl or guy code book that says it's ok to turn in early for the sake of keeping one's employment.
As kids many of us had curfews, which we despised our parents for, but now as adults I think I may need to start enforcing my own curfew so I can function at work. It's crazy to think at this age I need a set bedtime, but something has to change.
give yourself time. You are still adjusting!-Stacey
