Getting a good night’s rest is absolutely imperative for me to have a good day.
In fact, I would say that most of my happiness is tied to how much sleep I get! With a good night’s rest, I can tackle just about any day that is thrown at me.
However, if I get poor sleep or no sleep, I am a weak, pathetic, miserable, human being. Coffee tastes good and gives me a jolt of energy for about 20 minutes, but it just can’t take the place of getting a proper amount of sleep. Good sleep is vital for me, but there is something that I need to be in place in order to get that good sleep. I am very particular about the temperature of the room that I sleep in. In fact, I have it down to a science: The room needs to be exactly 64 degrees, and I need to have a whole bunch of blankets and pillows. Some people may think it’s silly to roll up in a whole bunch of blankets instead of simply having the temperature higher, but it gives me such a cozy feeling. There’s nothing quite like rolling out of bed at 2 a.m. to use the bathroom and feeling the ice cold floor on my bare feet, because of the powerful air conditioner. Sure, it’s a little jarring, but I know that in just a few more moments, I’ll be able to climb right back into that big warm bed and that’s such an awesome feeling that I doze right back off!
