Lost Sleep Leads to Lost Time
As though there were any doubt about. My day has been pretty useless, and I’ve not been able to focus on anything much so far. The morning was spent catching up on the sleep I didn’t get this week because I went to bed later on the days that I taught than I should have.
It’s a chicken/egg thing. Does erratic sleep lead to feeling overwhelmed which results in me losing days at at time, or is that I feel overwhelmed and I compensate by staying up too late?
My lack of sleep this week wasn’t because I fell asleep on the couch. It’s just that I didn’t go to bed at the right time and only got a few hours of sleep on the nights before I taught. By the time I got home from teaching (on Wednesday) and teaching then class (on Thursday) I was zonked. So really, it’s been five days that weren’t used effectively.
I know this can’t continue, but I’m not sure how to break the habit.
