Well, all this rainy weather sure is making me tired! I even got eight hours of sleep last night but I still feel as though a truck ran over me. I really think being sleepy is at least half mental. At least it is for me. If I know I am only getting four hours of sleep, I will wake up mad and throughout the whole day just act cranky and sleepy because I know I only got four hours a sleep. It is as if I am given a right to act that way. But then if I got a good nights rest and I am sleepy the next day I tell myself I can not and should not take a nap because I do not need to. So I wonder if one night I do not get enough sleep, and I did not let myself know that, I think I would not let myself act so sleepy. So next time I know I am not going to get a lot of sleep I want to hide all my clocks so that I can not see what time I actually do go to sleep. Then maybe I can trick myself into acting wide awake all day!

Hey Courtney. I have to agree with you on the sleep thing because I think sleep is a mental thing too. I think that sleep is over rated but we do need it because it is proven that people who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become obese. I never would even think that those two things would have anything to do with each other.
Sleeping is most likely a mental thing, or at least we think it is. Sometimes if I do get 8 hours of sleep though, I want more! And getting anything less than 4 hours of sleep makes me tired all day.
I really wonder if hiding the clocks would work. When you're tired, it does seem to be all in your mind, so maybe you can trick yourself.
