Don't Check Your Email Just Before Bedtime!
Since I had to get up early the next morning, I thought I would check my email. Trying to get a head start on the next day. Maybe there were a few things I could quickly take care of since I would not be able to check it until early afternoon.
The mistake I make was to check it. I had 3 emails from Google letting me know that 3 of my posts had been indexed. One I posted less than 24 hours ago! This was exciting.
Then I had 2 emails letting me know that 2 people accepted my WA starter membership offers. That was 2 in addition to the 2 the day before. Hopefully some will start going premium soon.
My mind would not let me sleep! I was thinking of different things to write about and things to try. I was only going to get 5 hours of sleep, but that turned out to be a lot less since I had trouble falling asleep.
Morale of the story, don't check your email before going to bed. Get some sleep and use that energy to start your day out right.

That is awesome Jim, a pleasant surprise for sure and definitely the emails we like receiving, you would have been really stoked and rearing to go, good advice regarding the emails and the timing, we all need time to relax and recharge.
Best wishes for those premiums they will come.
A good way to guarantee no sleep is to check your email just before bedtime Jim.
I always check mine an hour or so before I intend to retire but even then I often get caught up in different things and go way past the time I intended to stop.

I wasn't planning on checking it, but just finished a post and figured while I here, why not.
Well, I know why not now.
I agree. I have enough trouble getting to sleep already without any additional excitement. Congrats on your good news though.
Ha ha ha I know the feeling. Too bad I always check my emails at night. My mornings are a train wreck. Usually no time to check emails.
