hot girl mid-summer routine check in ☀️

But in any case, number one on the list is the wake up time.

What on the goddess's green earth are we doing? So I'll speak for myself.

Y'all know that me and sleep, we box each other.

And the reason we have boxed for so long, the reason I get into the ringer with sleep and my sleep hygiene, I feel like is always a back and forth.

I've had time periods where it's been really good, time periods where it's been real bad.

And I feel like something that I don't know if I've said this before or not.

Maybe it'll just be a fresh reminder if I have.

But in the summer, because I live in the Pacific Northwest...

In the summer, we have so much daylight because in the winter, we have so little daylight, okay? Literally, the sun sets at like 4 p.m.

in the winter.

It's very dark here because we're so close to the, I don't know if it's like the equator.

I'm not sure what does it, okay? I don't know that kind of science and math and shit, okay? I'm just an idiot.

I am so removed from stuff that probably everybody else knows.

But I just know that it gets dark here really early in the winter.

But in the summer, the sun is literally out until 10.

Like, it's setting, but you still have, like, a shred of daylight at, like, 10 p.m. So...

In the summer, it doesn't really matter to me if I go to bed super late and get up late because there's still enough time in the day to do whatever I wanted and see the sun.

In the winter, I can't behave like that.

But this is something I've had to come to terms with because in the winter, I feel like I'm a lot more strict about my wake up time.

But in the summer, I just like cannot get it together.

And I really think it's because when I look outside at 10 p.m., I'm not ready to wind down.

It's too early.

So I go to bed close to probably like 2 a.m. and I get up at 10.

I will say something that's been a challenge for me lately is I've been taking melatonin to go to sleep and I don't have the baby melatonin or the kid melatonin that I used to take.

I think that would actually be a better option for me.
