Week of seven hours of sleep? NO PROBLEM!

Well this past week has been the easiest and best challenge yet. As a matter of fact, it has been easy peasy. I don't have little littles that keep me up at night. My youngest is 8! She and her sister go to bed about nine every night. My older two kids know when they are supposed to be in bed, so I seem to have it made. Even on the weekends. I tend to be a home body and not wanting to stay out to late.

Something that I have found that works really well for me is to exercise at night. For five of the seven nights I go on a power walk. I live on a Mountain and all roads that lead to my house are up hill. Each night I walk between five and seven miles. I leave my house at 8:30 and get done about 10:00. This makes one like me super tired. I found that since I started to exercise in the morning and evening, I feel so much better. I recommend trying it, if you continue to have a hard time falling asleep in the future. :)

NOW on to this week......
