I am a night owl. I could stay up all night and sleep all day. This would be fine if I didn’t have a job that requires me to smile at 8:00 a.m. What is my challenge? My goal is to be in bed by 10:30 every night. Now, some of you may think that this challenge sounds easier than drinking spinach juice or climbing stairs. It is actually hard for me, because I have a lifetime of staring at the ceiling stressing about the ticking clock.
The Practical Reason
I asked the Accountant if he knew of any benefits of sleeping. He said, “Four out of every five scientists agree that there are no known benefits to having a good night sleep.” I laughed and then I went to Google and researched what sleep does for the body. I’m impressed. Sleep is amazing. It is like a super drug that does your body good. In the next few days, I will share some of my research.
The Philosophy Reason
“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know? “–Ernest Hemingway.
Mr. Hemingway wrote a lot of books so who knows may be I will get a book written after this challenge. The quote made me laugh, but in all reality a good night sleep does make you feel better about the world.
One response to “My 4th Challenge: An Introduction”
I love that quote! Especially the “you know” at the end.
