It just makes me feel so lazy to get in a good night's sleep, like I shouldn't be entitled to it or something. And it doesn't help that waking up on my mattress every morning makes me feel like I need a trip to the chiropractor's office.

I've always struggled with sleep issues, well for the last 8 years since a traumatic event happened in my life. I just started making myself go to bed at 11pm every night (even on the weekends)and get up at 5:30am every morning. I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep but my body is definitely getting used to this routine and schedule. I do notice a difference in my mood and how 'awake' I am during the day even though I'm still not getting an adequate amount of sleep (it's more than I've gotten in the past) but have started a daily/nightly routine. This is a huge step in the right direction for me. 8 years is a long time to go being sleep deprived and it's time to do something about it :-) Thanks for reminding me how important sleep really is!
