Getting enough sleep seems simple enough, go to bed when you are tired and wake up when you aren't. Most adults though don't have this as an option, we have kids, Spouses, bills, work, problems outside of work and home that effect both, and yet somehow we get up each morning and keep going. If you do feel like you got enough sleep then you shortly realize you forgot something you needed to do or you overslept for a meeting. The question then is do we go to bed earlier? This would work if there were no other responsibilities in a persons life. If you have no need to speak in an adult voice to someone for more than ten minutes about something other than who's bodily function is smelling up the garbage can, who decided the tv would be a great place to practice crayon mustaches on the characters portrayed there, or why we spent more on diapers and formula last month than on groceries this week, then this would be easy enough as well. I haven't met many people like this. I married my wife because I enjoyed talking to her and spending time with her and loved her opinions on many varied topics with which I may or may not agree with. Money always ends up in this conversation whether I want it to or not and it seems as though no matter how little you really need or want you still never have enough, At some point I was told that a single income could afford a home, car, and a few nice gifts each year for Christmas. I have not seen any evidence of this today but if I do you will be the first people I tell. So now we have stayed up until 1 am and have to get up at 6 am for work again, and just remembered that both cars have broken down and it is time to walk to work instead because taxi's are too much money and the bus stops are so far away you are nearly halfway to work by the time you get to the first one. The first emails pour in after you get to work and you tell yourself, I am going to get to bed early tonight. (wait isn't that what I said 24 hours ago?)
