37/100 || Day 37’s play was getting into bed at 10:11 pm. Now, I know that to most people this might seem odd, but my bedtime is usually somewhere between midnight and 2am. To say I am a night owl is putting it lightly. But with each year of my life I am getting to better understand just how much lack of sleep affects me. So, as a playful gesture – the night before my birthday – I decided to get into bed much earlier then I usually do and indulge in reading a book that I am currently obsessed with, “A Field Guide to Getting Lost.” I was sound asleep my 11pm.
I woke up feeling amazing! I think falling asleep on my own terms vs. just conking out was such a gift to give myself. It felt playful and different then my normal routine, and I was even inspired to meditate that morning. See – I guess good habits do encourage more good habits! Playing with your routine is something that I probably do not do enough – and this was a quick lesson that it is worth it. Be good to yourself, folks – the rewards are many! We’ll see how long I can keep this up…
