Sleep.
Sleep is Queen. We all know this fact, but I frequently forget how miserable life gets when Queen Sleep gets mad at me and leaves me restless night after night.
Last week was brutal. For four nights in a row I was rotten. I would feel exhausted and fall asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, but there I was an hour or two later, wide awake, counting goats, rice kernals, anything! if only I could sleep!
After a few sleepless nights I finally gave in to this restlessness and popped my computer open at 2am. I worked until 6am and then passed out hard. I woke up actually feeling refreshed. Beat to shit, but refreshed.
During those 4 hours of late-night work, I did the one project I had been neglecting for the past week. The one that was just sitting staring at me with its sullen eyes. Daring me to forget, daring me to try to move on.
As an entrepreneur on a very small team there isn’t much direct transparency into my day-to-day activities. But there is always Queen Sleep. And she is always watching.
