\"\"Ok, so my only job this weekend was to get my bookkeeping and billing done, neither of which happened. \u00a0Instead I played in my yard<\/a>,\u00a0moved furniture around and put the February\u00a0Horizons Magazine<\/a> online. \u00a0I also had a weekend festival of sleep, culminating in my last sleep segment being from 5am-9am this morning. \u00a0 For me that is unusual, going to bed when it’s dark outside and then waking after sunrise to get into my day. \u00a0 When I have phone appointments<\/a> at night, I usually start winding down to sleep – darkening the rooms and muting the sounds – about 3pm so I can be up by 9pm. \u00a0If I don’t have calls, then I’m up at 4:00am for morning meditation and usually just go right into the office after that. \u00a0It’s remarkable how much better I think and feel when I get real sleep. \u00a0Real sleep<\/a> as in not waking every 30 minutes to check the clock to see when 3-4 hours have passed so I can finally just get up and have it over with. I run myself ragged and don’t know I’ve done it. Nice to have a wake up call to it and a break from it.<\/p>\n
