I slept VERY little last night, only 5 hours. I'm bad, very very bad. New books are my downfall and last night I was awake until 1.45 reading, then spent 15min trying to fall asleep. Tonight I'm going to bed very early - reading and sleeping 8+hours. No if, ands, or buts.
I woke up today and my legs were a little warm from the walk home last night - YAY for getting back into it. Tonight... weights and walk home. I have to say that with my increased water drinking, I'm feeling good. I'm still pretty thirsty in the mornings - but I think this is more due to the fact that I'm a mouth breather when I sleep. I used to keep a big glass of water next to the bed and drink it all over the night whenever I'd wake up. But I've gotten out of that habit... not sure if thats for the better or worse?

I've been trying to improve on my sleeping. I've never been able to go straight to sleep no matter how tired I am. I've started reading in bed instead of watching TV in bed and that's really helped.
LOL, I do that sometimes too - start a book and then stay up until I finish it. The Harry Potter series challenged me because some of those books are impossible to read in one sitting.
