If you've ever wondered how important rest is to your entire being, trying taking care of a sick 12 week daughter. This past saturday night, I stayed up the entire night with my daughter Riley. She had contacted a cold or something that gave her horrible congestion. Anyway, long story short, I did not sleep a wink on Saturday night.
Sunday presented some interesting situations and I re-learned the importance of sleep. I had an extremely short fuse with my son and other family members. I was extremely unfocused with no desire to do anything. I ate extremely poor because I didn't have the extra energy to make a good meal. (Interestingly, this made me even more tired, irrational and cranky...can you see the circle that many people live in?)
Thankfully I have wonderful parents and a wonderful wife who allowed me to grab a nice nap on Sunday afternoon and a good nights sleep Sunday. I'm now back to living the PIES lifestyle and I feel great.
Never take for granted the importance of each of the rest in living a productive and healthy life.
