Sleep Deprivation

The good news is I've been busy preparing for job interviews. And in conjunction with taking care of our 1-year-old I missed my Wednesday post. My goal is to post 3 times a week. I read an interesting article last week that said sometimes with blogging less leads to more visits. That makes sense with so much out there to read and consume that a busy blog might actually be a turn off.

One of the signs of depression surrounds the body and sleep. One of the things I've struggled with in the past and even currently is the difficulty getting going in the morning when I either I don't want to be somewhere or not having anything scheduled. It is why I love being in the classroom because I love teaching and it motivates me to get up in the morning and get going.

I have been struggling lately to get a good nights sleep. Along with the stress of not being able to pay all my bills and being depressed I seem to be in terrible sleep cycle. I'm having a lot of trouble going to sleep. And by the time I finally fall asleep my wife's alarm is going off and then the kiddo wants to get up and I feel like I'm running on fumes.

Or I swing the other way and crash early and sleep like 12 hours and I'm sluggish all day. It's brutal. I still haven't found a solution on how to fix it. Although I feel a job will go a long way to getting back into a decent sleeping pattern.
