WEEKEND TEACHINGS
How to Avoid Exhaustion

1. Recognize and accommodate for your work habits.

Whether you manage your own company or maintain a blog, working for yourself might compel you to work at all hours of the day or night. It's undeniable that we gain by resisting the always-on work culture. However, even if they are the official work hours, you are not required to work only between 9:00 and 5:00.

Go ahead and work at night if that's what you want! Just acknowledge that getting enough rest is essential. Try adjusting to start work later in the morning if you usually work late at night. You can look for ways to work with your habits once you've identified them.

2. Get any housemates on board with your plan.

If you have kids, this could be more difficult. Your baby probably won’t understand, “Mommy will be sleeping between midnight and eight. Your bottle will be in the fridge,” But adult housemates can understand and take your needs into consideration.

Inform them of your intended bedtime—ideally, the same time every night—as well as the things you need from them to make it happen: phones on vibrate, TVs turned down, or whatever else seems necessary to get some slumber.

3. Enlist a stimulation removal buddy.

As I mentioned above, I don’t always adhere to this rule; I’d fall asleep cradling my laptop if it was just a little squishier. Sometimes I need a reminder, and my boyfriend is great for that.

If you don't have someone to remind you to relax at a specific time, schedule a recurring appointment in Microsoft Office or set up a phone alert to remind you when to shut down. Just like with the alarm that should have sent you to the gym at 5:30 AM, you could be inclined to disregard this. But like everything else, it can turn into a habit over time.

4. Create a relaxing environment that’s all about sleep.

At times my bed becomes an impromptu desk, partly because I get lazy and partly because I feel compelled to write at all hours of the day. I find it hard to unwind completely in my bedroom because of this.

If you remove all other distractions, like your TV, computer, and other electronics (or at least most of them), you’ll more easily associate your bedroom with unwinding and falling asleep. You can swap them out for calming objects like wind chimes, a dehumidifier to make breathing easier, and additional pillows to make your bed feel more comfortable.

5. Approach sleep as a health issue.

In actuality, getting enough sleep is just as crucial to your health as eating right and exercising. Your perspective on sleep may not change significantly if you are obese and sedentary. But if you keep in mind these advantages, you'll probably prioritize getting enough sleep and schedule it:

• Sleep helps neurons repair any damage done during the day. Without enough sleep, you’ll have difficulty thinking straight, concentrating, and even forming memories.

• Sleep contributes to a healthy immune system. People who are tired are more prone to infections, illnesses, and colds.

• Sleep helps you function optimally. Lack of sleep increases the risk of workplace injuries, especially for manual laborers.

• Sleep literally keeps you alive. Rats that were sleep deprived in a study lived for about five weeks as opposed to the normal two to three years.

• Sleep contributes to your overall emotional and mental well-being. According to research, persons who experience prolonged sleep deprivation actually start having hallucinations.

6. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and other stimulants several hours before bed.

And if you’re like me, as dependable as a grandfather clock when it comes to marking the hours with trips to the bathroom, minimize drinking after dinner.

TIP OF THE DAY

Mindful moving, walking or running. While exercising, try focusing on the feeling of your body moving. If you go for a mindful walk, you might notice the breeze against your skin, the feeling of your feet or hands against different textures on the ground or nearby surfaces, and the different smells around you.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

A therapist said if you self-isolate when overwhelmed you probably had to solve a lot of your problems alone as a child.
