How Sleep Deprivation Leads to Over Spending

I hadn't slept well for two nights in a row, and last night I felt so completely exhausted, and my thirteen year old was melting down over boredom, so I took her and another one of my kids out to dinner out of desperation to get out of the house and out of cooking. So we spent more than was budgeted, but it was a better alternative than an evening spent yelling at my kids. Last night I got great sleep and feel like I am back in control again. Lesson learned: try as hard as you can to get good sleep! Lack of sleep leads to over spending and weight gain too!!
