Happy Wednesday!
Can't wait til weekend already, altho our weekend is only on Sundays for some months now, ever since my youngest goes to a play date every Saturdays π Regardless two days or 1 day weekends, never enough for this tired momma π©π€£π©π€£
Since yesterday, my sleep has been short. Right on the dot at 4 AM, I would be wide awake. I thought yesterday due to the changing temperature from extreme coldness to above -5 C. Perhaps due to that, the house felt warm. However earlier, again I was wide awake at 4 AM and the house felt just normal. Last night tho, it was super windy. Idk. Maybe am just getting older. I learned as you age, you sleep less, not due to wanting to stay up like when you were younger, but the body and mind just don't sleep much, apparently? Altho that's not healthy π¬ I read if you don't get 8 H sleep, you will for sure end up with dementia and/or alzheimer π©
