My good friend Mary McManus aka @gracefullady on Twitter where we met, was talking to me about how important it is for her to get sleep and rest.
Did you know she is a polio and post polio survivor, and a finisher in the Boston Marathon?
Fatigue is the number one symptom which she has to manage. She decided to keep a journal of her fatigue symptoms, ( I Highly recommend you do the same) to see if there was any correlation between the sleep and rest she was getting and the symptoms of fatigue.
Now while this may seem like a no brainer, many people do not pay attention to how they feel throughout the day. It is easy for the ‘tail to wag the dog’. People feel cranky, irritable, fatigued and so they reach for caffeine or chocolate or a quick fix never bothering to take the time to examine the root cause of feeling this way.
Mary began to notice that when she rested when her body said to stop, or took a quick power nap to refresh and when she slept well and for the number of hours she required, she did in fact have more energy throughout the day. She also noticed through keeping her journal that saying yes to a breakfast meeting and having to get up at 5:30 am even for one day, required a week of recovery time.
So she has decided to avoid early morning meetings and flights whenever possible.
She would not have this insight without keeping a journal and determining what her body needs to function at its optimal best.
Mary uses the Sleep Secret Audio to ensure that she gets a good night’s sleep and has the tools she needs to take power naps without waking up with that groggy, fuzzy, “where am I” feeling. By monitoring her fatigue levels as well as her moods, her ability to think clearly, and having the energy she needs to be her best through a ‘sleep journal’, she discovered first hand how crucial it is to get a good night’s sleep and experience restorative rest.
