Lack of Sleep
I am lacking so much sleep right now and my body is all confused with the time change in New York and the weather change. I had awful nasal drip last night because of the drastic weather change. I woke up in the middle of the night in so much because of it. In the end, I got at least 9 hours of sleep (thank G-d), but I am still adjusting. Why is this relevant to my life as a performer? There are some great auditions starting on Monday and I don’t want to miss a damn thing. So, here I am, being mute all day to ensure that my voice is fabulous on Monday. This career means the world to me and I will do what I have to do to ensure my success. Does that sound lame? Well, I don’t care. I love what I do so I am going to be mute if necessary … or even just in case. Now, … this is where things get a little difficult for me - sleep. I have never been so good at giving myself the rest I need and I can tell my body is screaming for it. I am praying to get to bed soon. I know that will help my body adjust and heal faster. Man, there are so many things a performer has to do just to remain healthy. It can get really annoying.
