How to Prioritize Rest/Yourself
Sleep was never my top priority. I was never over-tired in any way, but I was just always excited for my day. Daytime was for being awake! When I was little I would jump out of bed to hang out with my mom as she got ready for work. My dad usually got up early himself, so that was just something I’ve always known. My sister was the one to sleep in, more than the rest of us, so she held the ‘typical teenager’ status in our house. I think I remember the first time I really ‘slept-in’, for my standards anyway. I had a sleepover in my parents' basement when I was in grade 11 and slept in until 11 am. I remember thinking that the clock must be wrong!
