I need more sleep.

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

Every day is a great day to sleep in. But I can’t. Have to go out to work or I have an appointment. There is always something to keep me from snuggling down deeper in my bed.

I acknowledge that I don’t get enough sleep because I putter around too much before going to bed.

I read somewhere that sleep is essential to leading a healthy life. Getting into a sleep pattern is challenging, but for my health, I have to get in gear. I have to learn to shut everything off and clear my brain and relax.

Easy to say. It is hard sometimes, so  I try to do two minutes of minfulness. Clear my mind of the daily clutter for two minutes. That doesn’t work. I am too busy trying to figure out how to clear my mind when something pops up I forgot to do.

Yikes!
