I can function on 7 for a couple of days but then I start to get really cranky. I’m a big sleepr ;) Your berries are beautiful. Actually, all the food in this post looks really delicious!

I surprise myself with my sleep schedule. I typically get 8-9 hours but days when I go to bed REALLY late (aka 2-3 AM) I wake up earlier than normal and feel fine. Crazy!

I love my rest days – they make me feel so much better the next day!

I’m SO excited!! My full-time hours are scheduled out on a monthly basis and not a weekly basis, hence this super long stretch. It’s how I ended up with a bunch of days off at the beginning of the month and am now paying for it :P

Okay, okay, it tastes relatively the same, maybe a touch stronger. In my opinion, easier because I only have to clean the press and not a big stupid machine. Plus, you get a fun little foam on top of your coffee with a french press :) Maybe I should do a post on it?? Thanks for the idea!! :P

Rest days are my motivation too :)

Im so interested in sleep and how it affects us all so diffferently. Im similar to you…up by 7am regardless of what time i go to bed, so if i want a good nights sleep im in bed by 10.30 most nights. I aim for around 8 hours a night…anything less and it takes its toll on me by mid-afternoon…my energy just dips and doesnt come back.
dinner looks delicious! very creative of you :)
have a nice night!

I definitely only get about 4 hours of sleep at night. YIKES!

I am with you on the salads- LOVE them but my body doesn’t. I like cashew Lara a lot too- hope you get to try the PBJ one soon!

I am working on getting more sleep- lack of it is horrible and has such a huge impact on everything. I become forgetful, emotional, clumsy…it’s just nasty. I wake up at the same time every morning so am making an effort to go to bed earlier :)

I probably need 8.5 or 9 hours, and unfortunately I get around 6.5 to 7.5 a night. I try to compensate on weekends though :-)

So does that salad. I get about 7-8 hours of sleep. If I don’t get enough sleep, I get pretty cranky. The best amount of sleep for me is 8-9 hours :)

A bit less these days, though. I hope you get more rest though; you certainly need it to function on the 10th consecutive work day!
btw, love the pretty pink of that yogurt and berry on top of the waffle! And nut butter with yogurt? interesting, I need to try that!
