The past two nights I've stayed up later than I have been. Last night I really should have gone bed. I felt very sleepy by 11:00 or so. But, didn't go to bed till 12:30. What's more, both nights, I ate something past 10pm because I was hungry.
Two nights ago it was a small bowl (the smallest of bowls, really) of chicken salad leftover from dinner. Last night it was a small bowl of tortilla strips. Twice.
Both morning-afters I woke feeling my stomach. It didn't hurt, but it didn't feel good. Once up, I could see my face was bloated and could feel the bloat all over. And my face looked as tired as I felt.
The picture I took of myself yesterday morning? Case in point.
I've been sleeping fine, doing the pose before lying down the past two nights has helped me fall asleep pretty promptly. And I have been waking up pretty consistently in the vicinity of 7:30 I've been noticing.
I have been doing the standing pose every day since Tuesday. That, no doubt, helps things move along. But, the burden would be lessened if I went to bed earlier and skipped the late night snack.
Waking up bright and refreshed? A worthy goal.
