I've been paying attention to something interesting for quite some time now:
How you feel when you wake up in the morning is very telling!
A healthy, balanced person will feel good upon waking. Their mood will be calm and happy, thoughts clear, ready to start the day. Even if the night before was problematic, they will still wake up this way.
If a person wakes up depressed or angry it is a telltale sign there is a deeper problem that needs to be addressed and resolved.
The same is true for our body. We should wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
If we wake up exhausted, as if we didn't sleep, something is off. Maybe we are fighting a cold, maybe we overdid the exercise, or maybe there is a medical issue.
And - the most obvious - if we wake up "half dead";) more sleep is needed!
This may seem obvious to some people, but the important aspect of my sharing this realization is chronic morning fatigue and/or depressed/angry mood will lead to major problems later. Guaranteed.
Prevention is always better that a cure!
Sleep well,
Marilyn
