At the time, I was coming home from work to an always empty house, laying on the floor for an hour to re-calibrate from my day, working myself
into a 30 minute or so run, and then reading a couple food blogs over dinner (usually a sweet potato, roasted during that run, with black beans, salsa, and a pile of greens), working another couple hours
just to survive the next school day, and
falling into bed
into a
deep and dreamless
sleep before my alarm clock wrenched me out and up and
into another day that was much the same.
So if your body doesn't have enough fuel to do its job, chances are you'll find yourself
just lying there in bed, unable to
fall into a
deep sleep no matter how exhausted you may feel.
