Post 1,062: The Sleeping King
I used to have a narrative where I am very needy with my sleep. I want it to be cold, dark, and quiet. I use eye masks, earplugs, and more to get me there. Whenever I would think about this though, it made me feel less than. Why do I need so much? Why can’t I be a tough sleeper? I would beat myself up about it.
So, I decided to change my story, and I came up with an entirely new one.
I treat myself like a king when I sleep. I want to take the best care possible of myself, and I know how important sleep is for my body. So, I bend over backwards to make sure I am as comfortable and undisturbed as possible.
When I sleep, I sleep like royalty. Every time I think about it this way, I get a huge smile.
