Went to bed in plenty of time, but for some reason just couldn't stay asleep. No wonder I fall asleep quickly when the time comes again.

Bedtime doesn't come at a decent time when the truck is broken and hubby's trying to fix it.

Being well rested gives you energy for exercise and helps your body recover. Making good food choices is easier when you're not desperate for caffeine and sugar to keep going. If you're not convinced of the health benefits of adequate sleep or just want some extra motivation, here are some articles to review:

Your challenge today is to plan your day so that you get to bed early tonight. Figure out what time you want to go to bed and work backwards from there to make sure you complete all of your chores before bedtime. If you wait until it's time to be in bed to start your nightly routines... wash your face, brush your teeth, pack tomorrow's lunch, pick out tomorrow's clothes, check email one last time... then before you know it you will have lost an hour or more sleep that your body needs.

Lets be prepared to give our final day the punch that it deserves!
