Sleep Awareness Month

So I think I want to set a new goal for the month of June.

I want to christen it "sleep awareness month" for myself.

One of the biggest things I've been struggling with during the I Ho Chuan year is getting enough sleep. Between trying to get all of my reps in, taking care of Julia, work and life in general, sleep has been one of the things I've sacrificed on. One of the issues is that I cut back on sleep during the week and try to catch up on the weekend, but that never seems to work. So for the month of June I am going to get up at the same time everyday (5:30AM) and go to bed at the same time every night (9:30PM) weekends included. I want to see if keeping regular sleeping hours will make me feel more rested and force me to get sleep consistently. The main area I see this being an issue (besides sleeping in on the weekend!) will be not staying up late past bedtime, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

But we'll see how it goes. It might make a difference, it's worth a try.

For acts of kindness: I helped teach a girl at work some stuff about the micro-ct machine and helped her with her sample, I taught some kids in the lab how to use our expensive cannon cameras to photograph trace fossils and I loaned out a pen when someone needed one. I also returned someones lab notebook I found.

Today I consumed: a bowl of oatmeal, 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 2 pieces of pepperoni, half a bowl of potato soup with a biscuit and bagel, a danish and I'm going to have some shepards pie. I drank a glass of orange juice, 3 cups of tea, a small coffee and 6 glasses of water.
