<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So goal #7 on my <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2010/10/10-on-101010.html" target="_self">10 on 10/10/10</a>&#0160;list is to go to bed by 9:00 pm for ten nights in a row. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Easy, right?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Wrong!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This has been <em>extremely</em> hard to do.&#0160;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I couldn&#39;t have known when I wrote my goals down on 10/10/10 what would happen the very next day. I was sleepless for a few weeks, understandably so. But now...now I&#39;m just back to my old habit of staying up way too late doing stuff -- and that&#39;s all it is, stuff -- and then being tired and cranky and just too out of it to truly enjoy the following day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I can&#39;t learn how to sew or knit or any of my great plans when I&#39;m too sleepy to even try. &#0160;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I&#39;m not going to bore you by telling you why sleep is so important. You know it is. I know it is. And yet, here I am. Awake.</span></p>
<p>So I&#39;ve decided that this goal, to give myself the luxury of a ridiculous amount of sleep, will be my priority for the next ten days. A 9 pm bedtime is torture for me (hell, it&#39;s 11:00 pm as I write this!) but I&#39;m tough. I can do it.&#0160;</p>
<p>Sleep well, my darlings...</p>
