Down to Six Hours of Sleep

Since my husband and I got into working out, we've both pretty much been feeling sore and really tired especially that we workout a little late because he's got work during the day. It's only during the weekends when we get to workout at a decent time. On weekdays, we start at like 9 P.M. and we get done at almost 10. Then, we just take a quick rest before taking shower and we go straight to bed.

Right now, I've only been getting at least six hours of sleep because I wake up early, too. I make sure that I prepare him food to take with him to work so he won't miss any meal regardless of how busy he gets. Plus, it saves us money. I would like to get it done before bedtime, but because we workout late, I usually am already too tired to do anything but take a shower and go to sleep. But there are times when he gets home earlier than he usually does and we get to workout at like 7 or 8 at night. That's when I get the chance to prepare his food before going to bed. It's rare, though so I'm kind of used to waking up early now, which is totally fine with me. I actually love waking up early now because I get to see my husband leaves for work, and I get a lot of things done around the house. I take care of the kids and do chores at the same time, and I still manage to squeeze in some "Mama Time".

So, yes, I don't mind getting only six hours of sleep or even less because in return, I don't feel like I let my day just go to waste because I didn't get to do much like I wanted to. And above all, I get to spend more extra time with my loves.

I think it's not that you don't have enough time to accomplish what you want to get done at the end of the day. I believe it's all about managing your time wisely.

I am learning more and more each day, and I cannot be more happier than knowing I have improved myself on managing my time having to take care of three kids and at the same time, do my responsibilities as a wife without having to sacrifice time for myself as well. It makes me feel so much better of a person now, and I owe it all to my family. They always inspire me to be better.
