My grandmother always said that a person with a clear conscience is a person who sleeps well at night. Having a clear mind makes ALL the difference. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

About a month ago, I created a "thoughtbook" where, before going to bed, I write down as many as possible thoughts. This way, I can sleep safely, knowing that I have recorder what's troubling me and that I won't have forgotten anything in the morning.

Going to bed at the same time everyday is where I struggle the most. I always seem to find 'just one more thing' to do before bed. That keeps me up just long enough to be tired the next day. @Bonnie: You're definitely correct in pointing out that getting TOO MUCH sleep is also a bad thing. It's all about getting THE RIGHT AMOUNT of sleep. @Kathy: That's funny! It does seem like we're on the same wave length, doesn't it. :-) I'm afraid your right about the lack of sleep in my future. We'll just have to see how I adjust. @Vincent: 8 hours seems to be my sweet spot as well. @Juliet: Aahh, a hot bath IS nice. Ours is currently leaking so I have to settle for a hot shower. But those are good too. :-) @Tess: You've reminded me of that phrase a few times and it always seems to be relevant. I just need to 'enjoy the process!' Thanks for the reminder! :-) Eric. @Matt: I’m definitely a morning person, but I certainly struggle to keep a solid routine when it comes to my sleep pattern.

I'm immune to caffeine, but lots of people say no coffee after lunch if you want to sleep properly. Which brings me onto my next suggestion: a good old cup of hot chocolate.

I just posted an article about sleep yesterday. For many people, having a routine really makes a difference. For me it's the darkest room possible. Also, we all have different sleep needs - so we need to find what works for each of us. Hang on - interrupted sleep will become the norm for you soon for a couple of years.

I tend to function best when I get up early after 6 or 7 hours sleep, any less or more & I can feel groggy. I do find that by Saturday I'm quite tired, so I usually have Saturday as my sleepy lazy day :) I usually have a nice afternoon sleep on Saturday though rather than go to bed early, but if I'm feeling indulgent I'll do both. I see it as a kind of mini hibernation which reboots me for the following week :) Nice article Eric :)
