All too often we hit the bed in pure exhaustion from the shit we put ourselves through in a single day.
By the time your head hits the pillow, your brain is still doing laps and your body feels like it owes money.
We are stressed.
Overwhelmed.
Mentally fried.
We all have those days that keep us awake all night, tossing and turning like a whale in heat.
Your mind is replaying conversations, arguments, bills, work bullshit, and that weird thing you said three weeks ago that no one remembers but you.
It is a vicious cycle that makes you wish someone would just give you a break.
The boss is pissed because you are not getting enough done.
The car only breaks down when it rains.
And somehow you are expected to deal with all of it while running on four fuckin hours of sleep and caffeine fumes.
????
That is why, in this day and age, with our fast-paced world, we actually have to schedule downtime.
And no, I am not talking about going down on your lover.
I am not talking about a hot bubble bath with scented candles and fancy soap while you read a romance novel.
I am talking about stripping off your clothes, shutting off the goddamn television, and going the fuck to bed at a decent hour.
I do not care if all the best shows are on late.
Tape them.
Stream them.
Watch something else.
Our entire population spends way too much time staring at the idiot box instead of getting enough sleep.
That is why ninety percent of us are overweight, half awake, and walking around like old circus elephants dragging our asses through life.
Everyone looks tired.
Everyone feels tired.
And nobody knows why.
We are missing out on way more than whatever garbage is on late night television.
So, do yourself a favor.
Get to bed!
Get some real sleep.
Wake up with energy.
Then use that energy to move your body instead of your remote control.
