When I went through a period of depression I slept WAY too much and it has stayed with me!! Although I don’t let myself sleep during the day anymore – unless there’s a valid reason – I still find it almost impossible to wake up when I intended to.

The only helpful piece of advice I can give anyone is have someone else call you – someone that will argue with you about it until you actually get up. This works for me. :) Hopefully when I have done this enough it’ll become a habit.

I drank 8 glasses of water today :) Yay me!

I find it easier to think about it as drinking a glass every two hours.. makes it seem less overwhelming. and when you think about it, your body probably does need that regular fluid input to keep it running optimally :)

Also automatically refilling your glass after you finish it helps.

It’s been a whlie since I did anything with this one – although I do solidly drink a glass at breakfast and at dinner and no longer drink juice/soda..

But I was reading yet another article on the health benefits of drinking eight glasses and I figure it’s worth another try. sigh

I’m usually up between 7am and 11pm: 16 hours – so I guess it’s a glass every 2 hours for me.

Drinking 2nd glass now :)
