The saying a healthy man is a wealthy man is a bitter truth I have come to appreciate due to a first hand experience i had some times ago
As a mobile teacher who is working in three or more schools I do a lot of trekking(walking) because I believe that the distance between the schoolsi teach are not that far.. apart
As time went by, I realized that no matter how early I went to bed, I found it difficult to have enough rest so I had to seek medical advice.
During consultion i was told by the doctor that I overwork myself every day and i if should continue that way, I might break down.
The first thing I did to save the situation was to get a mobile device like motorcycle or autoritdure to take me from point A to point B.
After each days work i make sure to relax either my watching a movie or listening to music or just lay down in one of the cool spots around me for about one hour or one hour thirty minutes before I start home chores and dinner preparation.
I make sure to go to bed early even when I am not ready to sleep so as to be able to rest very well against the next day activities or challenge.
On weekends I make sure to sleep for at least two hours after breakfast. After following this routine for three months (a term), I had to cut down in the numbers of the schools I take in a week to avoid re-occurrence of overstressing
Though this decision affected my income but I am happy to let go because if I eventually break down, the pay may not be enough for my treatment.
Thanks for reading till the end.

Sure, our bodies need rest. The pay is not even up to the stress you go through. God will help us in this struggle for survival.
