Are You Getting Enough Sleep?

Are you getting enough sleep? How many hours of sleep do you get each night? Do you know how many hours of sleep is enough to feel rested?

I’ll tell you now that I don’t get enough hours of sleep. It has been a long time since I had full nights sleep, and felt really well rested.

This didn’t start since I became a mommy. No, even before that I was having bad sleeping habits. My body is somewhat use to functioning on 4 to 6 hours of sleep, most night interrupted by this or that.

I go to bed late…most nights I finish house work, blog, read, do little projects for the house, or just sit with Hubby and talk…some nights we watch a movie, but my usual bed time is well past midnight.

Mornings are early. You all know that kids (at least mine is) an early riser, and I get up in the morning not feeling that need for more sleep. Again this is my body, just use to it. Than some days mid day it gets me. I feel tired, I feel unbalanced, and the whole world is turning upside down.

For the past week I’ve been feeling so tired all the time. Now I’m not sure  my sleep is to blame, since I’ve been getting more of this past week, but I feel sick all the time.

Maybe I’m just getting a cold, or something. But this whole unbalanced time got me thinking on the whole sleep and how much thing.

So tell me: Are you getting enough sleep? How many hours of sleep do you get each night? Do you know how many hours of sleep is enough to feel rested?
