I am an old soul, I like to go to bed early and I like to think about my retirement. I cannot wait to get an AARP card, really who doesn't want things on the cheap? I know that I will not have a complaint when my AARP card gets me 1.56% of my Holiday Inn Express room at the spritely age of 65! I love to go to bed early mainly because I wake up early every weekday to go to the gym and try to get in shape. I just feel that going to bed at eight pm is better than staying up and watching TV mindlessly, at least with sleep I am doing good for my body. I receive much criticism for this practice, really I couldn't care less about my critics but I have to ask, what really is the benefit of staying up late on a weeknight unless you are being productive? Further still one could argue that even though you work tirelessly at night your performance will be hindered the next day due to a lack of sleep. I do know how to have a good time and stay up late so on the weekends of course I let loose stay up late and sleep in. Really I guess what I am trying to say is shut off the television put down the book and go to bed! I shoot for nine hours of sleep a night, which means I usually get seven or eight hours since I always seem behind on my nightly tasks. Try it and I promise you that you will have more time to enjoy life!
