    On Friday, I'm sleeping in. I hope you do the same this weekend!
    Your friend, Rick
    Is getting enough sleep a problem for you too?

    Yes x 3

    I have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. Melatonin helps most the time. I recently learned that I can't have any caffeine after 2 pm. It really helped me sleep once I cut that out of my late afternoons.

    Yes x 3 today. Frigid, so no riding. Did riw gor 20 min and do pool exercises for 60.

    Sleep is very much tied to exercise for me. If I get a reasonable amount of exercise during the day, I usually sleep pretty good. Little to no exercuse, and falling asleep is,a challenge.

    My favorite part of the day when fasting: sitting here watching my 2 and 4 year old eating dinner, the best part they never take less that 2 hours......

    Yes again. I never have enough sleep and can never sleep in. I don’t need an alarm to wake. If I go to bed at 10pm or 3am. I’m awake by 6. 😟 oh well.

    Exercise- 45 minute Zumba class, 60 minute yoga
    Calories- under by 5 with no exercise eat backs
    Tracking- yep

    As for sleep-
    Bedtime is my favorite time of day! I get my eight hours which means I go to bed ridiculously early, like now it’s 8:22pm!
    I never needed an alarm clock when I got up at 6am but 4:45am is stupid early. I use one of those alarm lights that mimics a sunrise, it’s amazing, it gives us a gentle 15-20minute slow wake up, when the birds start chirping at 4:45 we’re ready to get up. Highly, highly recommend for any one who needs to wake up at an ungodly hour.

    @BonnieHosk85 Hi Bonnie,
    In the late 90's and early 2000', I did lots of long-distance road bike tours. One principle that I was taught is that we often develop knee pain because we are spinning in too high a gear. I had to learn to use pedal cadence and lower gears to be able to do progressive (over several days) long distance 500 mile events.
    Best wishes, Rick

    Yes x3, 60 min yoga class

    I have four kids, ages 8 and under, so yes sleep is a challenge for me! By the time I get everyone to bed I need a little alone time so I don’t get to bed as early as I should. And sometimes little people wake me up in the night. But I do my best :)

    Yes x 3

    Sleep is so important. Happily, I now get at least 7 hours of sleep almost every night. Very grateful. A working kidney & daily exercise (along with arm healing ie no pain & no extra meds that were causing reduction in sleep!) Verrry Grateful.
