Author Adam Mansbach’s book may be directed at the restless munchkins in our lives, but I’m taking it personally. Yesterday I was a zoned-out zombie in a way that I haven’t been in a loooooooong time. Perhaps it was my obsessive 4th of July shenanigans the day before (see previous post). Perhaps it was the blaring LA heat these last few days that sucked any and all life out of me. Perhaps my big talk of getting energized through fun activity is catching up with me. Whatever the case, I’m giving myself – and all of us – this Fab Tip: GO THE F**K TO SLEEP. Try it once a week: Don’t stay up late to answer emails. Don’t stay up late to do the dishes. Don’t even stay up to wait until your spouse gets home. As soon as that baby is down and out in her crib (with a 9-month old, that’s luckily around 8pm for me these days)…. Just make yourself GO THE F**K TO SLEEP. You’ll thank yourself the next day.
