Like everyone, I struggle with doing what’s right for myself versus doing what I want to do.
I’m paying the price. Sleep is always an issue and lately I haven’t been a good girl when it comes to getting to bed on time. In fact, I’m doing things that are counter intuitive. Eating way too close to bed. Eating foods I’m allergic to- which means body pain that makes it hard to sleep.
Drinking too much decaf- eating chocolate and drinking iced tea. They all have caffeine!
Watching TV really late- but that’s because of the Olympics!
I can make so many excuses. Managing sleep is one of the best ways to manage bipolar disorder. I get tired (no pun intended!) or having to monitor all that I do, but if I don’t I feel like I feel right now.
Tired!
Julie
