My Personality Changes When I’m Tired
How I Feel When I'm Tired
My personality changes when I’m tired.
I do a pretty good job of hiding that change from most people. But my family, who knows me best, picks up on it. Mostly because I get quiet, distracted, and sometimes seem grumpy.
When I’m tired, little things bother me, things that otherwise wouldn’t.
Like the aggressive way people were driving this afternoon on my drive home. Their lack of patience becomes my lack of patience. When I’m rested, I’m better able to deal with traffic, to stay calm.
When I’m tired, I have a harder time being optimistic, being upbeat. It’s easier to get down on myself. To get down on others.
I don’t like this personality change. Fortunately there’s a way to prevent or at least minimize it’s happening. I have to have my rest.
It’s the reason for Sabbath.
