MAKING TIME FOR REST
It's always amazing how much energy we seem to have when the sun is out. It seems like the whole summer has been one big party. There's been a lot of late nights and missed sleep, yet, even with some early morning starts at work, it's all been ok.
When the sun is shining, the tired eyes fade pretty quickly and with a bit of a tan, the bags don't even show. But, ultimately, if we burn the candle at both ends, the lack of sleep will catch up with us in the end. This is why we really need to to factor in our much needed rest times.

Siesta Time
Our Mediterranean cousins, who have plenty of sun, seem to cope pretty well with the late nights, but they fortunately get their siesta time in the afternoon to make up for any missed rest.
If we're to continue functioning well on less sleep at night, I reckon we need to adapt to this Mediterranean way of living in the UK, especially during the summer months.
An afternoon nap is definitely on the cards for me today as I'm starting to feel the consequences of missing my 8 hours a night. As and when I get the chance, I'll be aiming to maximise on this nap routine over coming weeks, as we prepare for the darker, colder autumn days where the magical healing power of the sunshine will be in decreasingly shorter supply.
