Things I'm Learning From Transition: (Part 2 of 6)

2. No one can rest for me. It seems funny, but when I started this job I went to bed by 8:30 every night exhausted. I was learning a new commute, databases, office systems, people, etc. and that is very taxing. Over the last couple months I've adjusted to a much more normal sleep schedule. Rest keeps me sharp at work, and keeps me from being "too sharp" at home. Stress overwhelms my desire to show love to my family if I'm not rested. Instead I become focused only on myself and that leads to anger and selfish behavior.
