I woke up this morning absolutely exhausted. I got 8 hours of sleep, which for me is 2 (sometimes 3) hours more than I usually get. I assumed since I woke up so tired that I must not have slept well, but my wife thinks otherwise. Apparently our 5 month old woke up at 11:30, 1:30, 3:30, and 5:30 to nurse (in our bed) and I didn't even move (yes I was still breathing...). So what I thought was poor sleep appears to actually be an accumulation of not enough sleep. I thought I was being so good, but my eyelids and body say otherwise.
On top of that, it appears I have a hard time drinking enough fluids at home. When I'm at the office, I don't have a problem - every 2 hours I'm up getting another glass of water. I don't know why it's different at home.
So, I've taken today off, and likely tomorrow too, from any training to try and get my muscles some rest. I can't guarantee enough sleep until Saturday, but it'll have to do. Oh, and I'm getting up right now to get a glass of water.
Here's hoping for a restful weekend! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteIf you count 5-6 hours of work and 40ish miles on the bike as rest, then YES! But yes, I will get some sleep too!
