I feel like a brand new person after such a wonderful sleep last evening, I just wish I could bottle it and use it on all the other evenings too.
Some evenings I’ll only sleep five hours and wake up just feeling groggy like I was doped up with something.
I think going to bed early is undoubtedly important for me, especially at almost 60 years old. I feel like a seasoned old man sometimes when I think about how I used to go out around the same time and stay out all evening till the wee hours of the night. But a/c in my room and a wonderful book sound more enticing to me than going to a bar and drinking a bunch of shots and seeing a soccer game or listening to some loud tunes while trying to talk with a stranger. Bars are fun when you are younger because they are a novelty and you think you are a member of some special club. But I would rather have my cats on my lap with my whole-home air purifier running beside me and drowning out all of the noise from the loud bars around me. I suppose getting older your thoughts and ways change, and it is wonderful to evolve and not get stuck in the same seasoned patterns that take you nowhere. The HEPA filter lady salesperson told me it is wonderful to evolve when you age and aging is not a bad or good thing, it is just a thing. I am good with getting older, as long as I have a nice clean a/c filter!
