[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Counterintuitive, but adding something to your busy schedule that really refreshes you can be a good investment in how you feel about your life.  Art class, exercise, weekly happy hour, volunteering for a cause that you really believe in, whatever sounds good to you.[/quote]

I agree with this.   I've added an hour of exercise to my day and I feel so much better.   However, I also can't get my sleep together, and that's a huge drain.  So if OP needs to fix sleep first, definitely start there.  I average 4-5 hours of sleep and cannot get more.   It's really wearing me down.  :(

NP.When do you exercise? I'm so beat at the end of the day and my 3.5 year old naps at daycare so often isn't falling asleep until 9:30pm even though we put him down at 8:30pm. My one year old wakes up between 4:45-5:30am. Maybe I need to get out of the house to make it happen, if I'm home and DH is watching the kids I seem to always get sucked in[/quote]

I walk 1/2 hour during lunch at work.  Before the shorter days, I was able to do it around 6:30 in the  or I filled.

Then I walk 1/2 hour after dinner.  I just joined a gym and will go after dinner.

The exercise will help you feel less beat. Although it doesn't completely make up for lack of sleep.

6:30 in the morning. Typo, sorry![/quote]
