Writer's Care: Sleep
| Posted on September 11, 2011 at 8:40 PM |
I've learned a few things this week. One is that if you're on a writing deadline, starting a diet probably won't work. One big thing at a time is enough right now. Dieting is a big thing, and turning in a book on deadline is also a big thing.
Sleep is important to writing well. From my reserach, sleeping 7-8 hours a day is also important to losing weight. Apparently if you don't get enough sleep, you're body thinks you need more food and your appetite increases.
Sleeping the full eight is tough for me. I become alive in a huge way writing-wise at night. Oh well. I'm working on it. Back to editiing.

Yesterday I walked five miles and I walked two miles today. That helps in a lot of ways. I have discovered, like you, I do a lot more writing at night so I nap during the day. Naps are wonderful and I thoroughly enjoy them. I have been busy editing (does that count as reading or writing?) and have been reading a book on writing. I am eager to learn more and improve my grasp of the craft. I gave up on two aspects of my life, one being the diet. I eat when I'm hungry ... only in moderation. It will all take care of itself, I hope. With your deadline looming, take heart. At least there is an end to the chaos.
