Fit Nation: Sweet dreams for better health, weight loss

To combat the previous night’s loss of sleep, I’d go to bed at 8 p.m. the next night, only to find myself wide awake at 1 a.m.

The ping-pong of sleeplessness leaves me disoriented and cranky.

I wore my crazy work hours like a badge.

“I worked 60 hours last week,” I’d say tiredly, but with a secret glee that this must mean that I was the best at what I was doing.

My disregard for a healthy work/life balance showed my dedication and loyalty to work.

I’m at the end of the third week and I have to tell you, I’m now sleeping through the night!

I feel energized and excited to start the day.

I’ve got energy for workouts and cooking.

I feel great. And I look forward to bedtime each night.

Sweet dreams at last.
