Yes, getting good sleep regularly is actually important

There are terrific things about having a really strong immune system. One of them is working in an environment with many children, a number of whom at any given time who will be coughing, sneezing, and blowing their noses, and rarely becoming ill. Even being married to an RN who is exposed every week to some of the worst germs Hamilton has on offer and still not going under.

However, from time to time, even such a superpower shows  its kryptonite. One must get enough sleep and rest daily and weekly or eventually it will catch up with one.

My life is full. Too full, some would say.

Full-time work at my Kumon centre
Grand Philharmonic Choir
Extinction Rebellion Hamilton
Health Advocacy
Anti-Hate activism
Running a NA franchise association
Facilitating two meditation groups
Dedication to regular time socially
Political activism

Among other things of course. People often ask me how I do it all. It is frequently at the expense of proper sleep and rest, continuously going from one task to another from early in the morning to sometime in the evening, sleeping early and waking up around 1 or so to put in a few more hours of emailing, editing documents, and planning.

So at the moment humbly admitting I will need more down time than usual today and on the weekend, possibly also next week, either to stave off being fully ill, or submitting to the inevitable at last.
