So, I know why I am so tired. I have been working 9 hour days, and after I get home, I have a meeting, a wake, a reception, or a play to attend. Not all of these are stressful activities, but each takes its toll in a way I hate to admit, and wears me down. And of course, when I get in from these socializing events, I am not ready to fall asleep, feeling energized from the event. So I have been reading myself to sleep. So that seems contradictory, but really, it is not.
That brings me to another issue: I have been awakening at 4:43 AM every morning this week. I am able to return to sleep, but the interruption is, nevertheless, happening. Additionally, this morning, I realized that my alarm is going off well before 5:30 AM, because when I am hitting snooze, I am snoozing through 5:30 AM.
I am not sure I mind. I like being an early riser and getting a head start on my day that way. But if I do not compensate with early bed times, I do get worn out. Which is very different than the Joyce of my youth.
