Recently I had a particularly busy day. I had been working for around 14 hours and by the time I finished work, it was already my bedtime. As I was getting ready for bed, I felt highly agitated and irritable. Normally I feel calm when I get ready for bed. I felt agitated because, unusually for me, I had not had any time for ‘winding down’ between finishing my work and going to sleep. I’d also had very little time for myself during the day, as I had been working nonstop since the moment I woke up.
This scenario made me reflect upon just how important it is for me to have some time dedicated to whatever it is I want to do, both before bedtime and in the morning before I start my work.
