More shut-eye for Shira

I learn everything the hard way, and this lesson is no exception--unless I get at least six and a half hours sleep per night, I'll continue to be tired all the time and prone to illness. Twice in the past six months, I've been sick enough to be out of work for a week. It was no fun sneezing and coughing my way through the Independence Day fireworks. So, from now on, my bedtime will be absolutely no later than 10 PM, unless I go to a lecture or other activity. (I've warned my poor husband that we may be having a lot more cold dinners in the future.) Which leads me straight into my next subject . . .
