A tale of two Night's sleep

A great day's sleep is when you are able to get enough sleep . In the morning I feel great and energized. During the day I am happy because I get a lot done  and can do more activities. It  makes me more motivated to exercise and do thing around the house. In the evening I am able to relax and wind down doing things like reading, playing games, watching T.V. and playing with my dogs. When it is time for me to go to sleep I am relaxed and fall asleep quickly.
 
Great night sleep.

A bad night sleep  is when I can't fall asleep and toss and turn all night. I feel terrible and unmotivated to do anything during the day. I feel down in the dumps and sit on the couch most of the day. I do not feel like doing anything. The most I get done is taking care of my dogs and cooking meals for the day. When it gets closer to bed time I drink just water . Then I go to bed early so I get a good night. Just to be on the safe side I take a melatonin.
This is where I spend most of the day when I get a bad night sleep.
 
 
When I wake up and it is sunny, it helps me be more perky and motivated to  get more things done.
I am definitely more active when I get a great night sleep. I relate to a good night sleep because my health depends on me getting enough rest. If I do not it causes me to have a flare-up.  I feel better and exercise more often when I get a good night sleep.
My quality sleep means 1st I do not have trouble have trouble, when I  don't roll toss and turn, do not wake up during the night and wake up too early.  I feel the best when I get at least 8 hours of sleep.
For my health reasons I work on getting enough sleep every night. when I over due it during the day it causes sleep problem, when I have too much coffee I can't sleep. If I wake up at night it usually takes me an hour to get back to sleep. I hate when I wake up really early in the morning. All of these have effects on the next day. I can't focus, I don't feel well, and I have joint pain and headaches.
