I am working 3 jobs right now. I work 32 hours per week at a hospital, 16 hours per week for a healthcare software start-up company, and I teach skiing for another 12 or so hours per week. So, that's 60 hours of work per week, and more when the software stuff gets really busy.<BR/><BR/>But, the skiing isn't really stressful, or at least I don't find it to be so. I truly enjoy the days I spend with the kids on the mountain. But, I take their safety very seriously, so there might be stresses there I don't notice.<BR/><BR/>Lately, if anything, it might be that I'm going to bed too early and then I'm waking up early because I've had enough sleep. Friday night, I turned out the lights at 7:55 and I was asleep in minutes.<BR/><BR/>Last night, we finished dinner at 6:30 and I joked about going to bed right then. But, before I spent the rest of the evening reading, I checked my e-mail account at the start-up job and found that a co-worker was having some issues and needed my help. So, I worked until about 10:00 last night instead.<BR/><BR/>It's possible that I'm being so adamant about getting enough sleep that I'm trying to sleep more than I need. Or, perhaps the training and the skiing and the work are all more taxing than I realize.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124160833070692205.post-6867717067995421352009-01-19T15:21:00.000-05:002009-01-19T15:21:00.000-05:00Avoiding frostbite is good.

As much as you work out, I'd think insomnia would be the last problem to worry about. <BR/><BR/>Could be weather related, I guess, if the sun's not showing up to regulate the body clock.David Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895710357380541330noreply@blogger.com
