So very true. If we don’t take any time for ourselves to just rest and recoup, we will burn out much more quickly.

As someone who needs loots of sleep, I know that sleep is so important. If you’re sleep-deprived it can definitely affect how you think and your ability to create. Sometimes we have to prioritize our rest, and let the creativity flow the next day.

My naps would never last only 20 minutes. I need at least an hour on the low end. 🙂 Thank you for keeping up with me during the challenge. I hope to see you back each week!

Likewise, Sheila. I have enjoyed everything you’ve posted on your blog so far, and look forward to reading more of your posts in the future 🙂

I think being on the computer for long periods contributes somewhat to my being tired. I take a nap almost every afternoon for about 20 minutes, but on weekends my nap can be more like 1-2 hours. Especially if my wife is napping too. Sometimes I’ve seen her take a nap and essentially sleep until the next morning. I can’t do that.

Congratulations on making it to the end of the A to Z Challenge. Well done!

Congratulations on completing the challenge. Now, I think we all could use a few extra Zzz’s. It has been a pleasure making your acquaintance.

Thank you, Patricia! I was trying to get up at 5am every morning and did for awhile, but have been having difficulty maintaining that since I don’t get to bed until 11:30pm most nights. 6am will work out just as well. 🙂

Once I start getting tired, the words slow down and often stop. And I agree, naps are great and I still take them. =)

Congrats on beating the challenge.

Thank you, Karen. It seems like such an easy concept, but it is the first thing that we look to sacrifice when we need to get more work done. If the lack of sleep is for a short duration to finish a project, I can see it, but if it has no end, I think it is better to get the sleep than to give it up. Thanks for keeping up with my posts throughout the challenge. I hope to keep seeing you back each week!

That would be amazing! I never thought I could be a writer. It took one good idea and time to sit down to get it on paper, for me to realize that’s exactly what I am. 🙂 Good luck in your writing endeavors! I’m so glad you enjoyed my posts throughout the month. It was wonderful to keep seeing you coming back and commenting! Looking forward to reading your future posts as well.
