Wondering what it's like to wake up feeling refreshed from a solid night's sleep.
I wanna be that person that doesn't need 3 alarms, doesn't hit snooze 5 times, doesn't need a big cup of slap me in the *kitten* face when I roll outta bed.
Is that too much to ask?!3 -
I get up right away & then take an hour to get moving. The only time I feel refreshed is when I can sleep as long as I want without guilt & without interruption. That has happened approximately three times in the past 25 years. I am so *kitten* exhausted most of the time & it’s pure will & stress that keep me moving. Most days I fantasize about a nice dark hobbit hole where there are no obligations & I can just lie still & quiet.

Not at all. I could have easily written this word for word....minus the dark hobbit hole 😂1 -
I need to find balance. My ability to get too attached to my dying patients is really weighing heavy on me.
I know no other way, it's who I am as a person and would want the same care for anyone that I loved.
It's hard not to take my work home with me at the end of the day.8 -
My first volunteer driver should be fun on Monday. The wife of the man I'm taking was super chatty and will be coming along pluses I get to drive them downtown so I can go see the Christmas windows or maybe even go skate1

If I find myself in that position, it is a person like you I pray for to take care of me 🤗🤗3 -

My mother was a registered nurse and worked nights. Sometimes she'd be called to special--stay in a dying person's room. I once asked her if she was afraid to be there when a person died. She looked at me and said "No, I consider it a privilege to be there, and to comfort the family".3 -

I made a mistake at work today & I didn’t know it was a mistake at the time & this is why I shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions & now I get to feel this pressure in my chest for a week2

I feel the same way.
Some are harder than others. My last patient reminded me so much of my own Father, I took care of him like a daughter would. But it was like losing my Dad all over again.5 -

Tbh - most of the chit I’ve learned from any job is by ducking something up- now during your year end review you can list not afraid to make mistakes as a strength - that my friend is a silver lining3 -

I think I need to take a lot of this back because it’s not completely true. I think I’m having some depression right now which is darkening my perspective. Honestly, when I guard my boundaries around sleep and I’m careful about caffeine I do feel quite refreshed after a good nights sleep. It requires work though and I’m not very good about being consistent with it.TwitchyMagee wrote: »

I’ve been trying to prioritize sleep about the last year - year and a half now - try to keep a consistent bed time between 8:30-9 up but 4ish most days - and it seems I feel better those days than if I sleep in - and now if I get up after 4 or 5 ish even in the weekends - I get bummed cause I feel like I didn’t attack the day 🤷♂️

What on earth does one do at 5 a.m. to attack the day? Do you exercise 7 days a week?
They say that getting up the same time every day is key, but when I'm not working I like to roll around in bed for a few extra hours bc it feels like a treat. However, I've noticed that when I do this I feel like crap for the rest of the day.
@TwitchyMagee Caffeine may also play a roll in my sleep issues. I run on caffeine all day long!
Me thinks we all know what to do to take better care of ourselves, the problem is doing it and staying consistent.
Take care of you the way you'd take care of someone you love. ♥️ PSA

Yup. I feel so much better when I roll outta bed and leave the house. That's why I struggle with Sunday, and it's too cold to wake up and walk the dogs. So I lay around and feel like crap the rest of the day. Yes, I get things accomplished but I'm more productive when I'm bounced outta the house at 6:30 a.m.1 -
