I thrive on a schedule --- and I also slip from time to time, but always get back on track, so I don't beat myself up over it at all.

We all do from time to time, Melissa. 😀

Great tips Daria! My grandmother at 103 is proof that they help. She can be cranky if her sleep, eating or exercise schedule gets disrupted. 🏃‍♀️

Thanks, Daria! This is a great confirmation of what I have felt to be true. I think it explains why being away from home for too many days, even if it's for fun vacations, makes me feel irritable and "off." It's always so good to get home and "back to normal!"

I agree. I prefer my own bed. That's one reason I'll probably never be a world traveler.

I can always twll.when I'm off. For years I worked nights. Recently I took a job that started mid-morning. I never made it on time once in three months. It was miserable. As much as I liked the work, the hours didn't agree with me. I'm thankful that I quit and now back to normal. Interesting article.

Thanks, Patti. It's amazing how our bodies and minds seem to crave a schedule. I think the older I get, the more important it is. I'm happy to hear you were able to get back to your normal self after your scheduling deviation.
