But can we talk about how tired I am? What is the deal with that?! I've been getting a full 8 hours most nights, but still don't want to drag my arse out of bed. Today is downright painful! I got 9 hours of sleep last night then took a one-hour nap this afternoon! I've always been that girl: the one who's always tired because she stays up too late & eats badly. But now that I've been going to bed earlier and eating better I have no more explanations.
What are some of your tried and true methods for being well-rested?
Tonight is day 2 of personal training! Thank God, my soreness finally went away. Otherwise, I'd be in trouble! Still working on my personal mantra. Narrowing it down. Will divulge soon! Wish me luck for tonight!

Have you considered getting some blood-work done and having your thyroid checked?
If it's under-active it might lead to tiredness and a slower metabolism... Iodine supplements can help...
I never thought to have my thyroid checked. Hmmm... Now I'm thinking it! Thx.
Do you think maybe the changing of the seasons could be making you tired?
I like to make my bed an oasis. Nice, clean sheets, making sure I'm laying straight so I don't get any kinks. And weird as it sounds, I like to sleep with a pillow over my forehead. For some reason I think it helps me to focus on my third eye while I fall asleep which is supposed to promote relaxation.
I haven't had a good night's sleep since 2003, so if you find the secret, let me know, 'kay?
Of course, my problem is menopause, so I'm pretty sure that isn't what's going on with you.....:)
Actually, I think having your thyroid checked is a good idea!
