Doing it Right!

WooHoo! Some scientific evidence to support my lifestyle! I love this article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/technology/28proto.html?_r=2&th&emc=th&oref=slogin&oref=slogin because it gives me confirmation that the changes in my sleeping habits make sense (so I can send all of my right brained engineer relatives to this site and someone else can explain why I do what I do).

Ever since I made the choice to listen to my intuition, write my books, build www.ReclaimU.com and generally change my life, I have been going to bed early. Really early, often times before my children. While my husband and kids are supportive of my doing this, I also take a lot of flack from several fronts. I have chosen to stand my ground and ignore their comments because even if I couldn't explain why, I knew this worked for me.

See, when I go to bed early then I get a full night's sleep and still wake up early. So, as the artilce points out, my brain has time to process, make connections, and be creative. Then, when I am up at 4 or 5am, everyone else is asleep and I have a quiet space to work with all the new ideas before the world's distractions sabotage all my good intentions and great ideas.

While I know I don't need justification for the choices I make in my life - and I have no problem living my life my way - once in a while it is really nice to get a little extra support. Thanks New York Times!
