A Little Rest Goes A Long Way

Today, I was able to grocery shop, cook, workout, and talk to a couple of friends without feeling like I was going to fall asleep immediately. I don't know if it's all the worry I carried for my students while they were on campus for six weeks, the anxiety of writing so I can complete my degree program, the lack of a significant other to share my life, or the thoughts of whatever but whatever the reason I have just been physically exhausted. All I ever want to do is lay on my sofa and watch television. However, I got some good rest yesterday after my students left and this morning and today I was able to accomplish everything on my to-do-list today. I must incorporate more quality rest in my life. How much rest do you need?
