sleepy sleepy

Turns out my addiction to working out is more of an issue than I thought.

Two nights ago I stayed up later than I had intended. I was reading a really good book and before I knew it it was 10:30 and I was planning on working out at 5:15 the next morning.

When 5:15 rolled around the next morning I tried to be a slacker. I tried to ignore the call of the gym. I tossed and turned for nearly 25 minutes trying to go back to sleep.

Finally, I gave up. I rolled out of bed and went to the gym.

I'm not regretting that I worked out. I am just regretting that there's not enough time in the week for me to get enough sleep. I am feeling so tired in the afternoons that all I want to do is take a nap.

Obviously I should be going to bed at 9 PM and making healthy food choices. But, evenings with my husband and a bedtime snack are things I'm just not willing to give up. However, something has to give. I am just not sure what it could or should be.

Couldn't we just add 2 more hours to everyday so I could get my sleep?
