My Sleep Resolution for 2022
Next year will be my 52nd revolution around the Sun. Good place to pay more attention to sleep. When I was about 33, my sleep pattern changed completely, turning me from a sound 8-hour sleeper into a restless wreck who slept less than 6 hours a night and constantly felt exhausted during the day. It was partly because I was a new mother and my son was a hyperactive infant who slept in short intervals and woke up several times during the night. I envied new parents whose kids started to sleep through most of the night in infancy. My son slept through 7 uninterrupted hours for the first time when he was 25 months, and I couldn't believe my luck, waking up every couple of hours to check if he was still sleeping. Another reason for my restless sleep was my demanding job: as a department chair at a university, I had too many responsibilities, several people to manage and endless deadlines to meet.

New Year, A More Rested You. Top Story - December 2021.
New year, new me. It's a cliche saying that we have all said at least once in our lives. At one time or another, we all had this crazy idea that within a year's time we could completely reinvent ourselves and our lives. One thing that remains true every year is it's an unachievable goal and we put way too much stress on ourselves trying to achieve it. Well, this new year I say no more! Instead of a new you this year, how about you strive for a more rested you? Here's how we can do that.

The Art of Shuteye
Among the things that I can measure to judge the condition of my physical life, sleep quality is the most accurate and reliable indicator of whether I am in a good place or not. As a young fellow, there were 8 years of mismanaged nonsense that I regret to some degree. Supposing that hindsight is perfect and impossible to act upon, I guess it isn't fair to think I could redo anything. Perhaps if it were possible I'd let my younger self know that it was a dead-end road. Unfortunately, I have more data to represent my mistakes than I do my successes in this. The only way the list makes sense is if I write it as though it applied to me back then. It certainly isn't a scientific approach, but it is how things ended up. Maybe it'll help you as 2022 approaches, I'm still trying to abide.
