Okay, what did you really think when I encouraged you to have a consistent bedtime/wakeup time every day? Crazy? Extreme? Why would I suggest such a thing?

The answer: Because consistent bedtime/wakeup time is one of the greatest needs in a family. Often Dad is the one who sinks his family’s ship. Mom is desperately trying to get things done, but Dad throws marbles in the cookie batter. 

Once bedtime/wakeup time is set, so many other things will fall into place. Simple. Easy. Seriously, you can do it. Try me on this. It is amazing. Be a hero in your family, not a ____. 

I’ve heard from some dads who have had the courage to step up and do it.  I have a cow horn on my desk I blow for such occasions. Good going, guys. You can show the rest how easy it is. 

Here is what one dad wrote. Is this cool or what? 

“BT/WT has almost become a habit now. I start to get tired at the same time every night and am normally awake before my alarm now.  Thank you. I have noticed a difference in how I well feel and my attitude and thinking throughout the day.” 

When I see guys “step-up” like this, I am SO encouraged. 

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong” (1 Corinthians 16:13).
