But do you? Are you tired? Are you feeling exhausted? Do you find yourself yawning during the day? Well, that means either you`re pregnant, and you should call your doctor immediately, or that means you are not getting enough sleep. You know, sleep… Miss Bo Peep, sheep, sleep? Most people don`t get enough sleep, and that can affect every part of their lives. When you don`t get enough sleep, you don`t think well, see well, or have any energy to complete everything you have to do. Lack of sleep can make you irritable and depressed, so my advice to you is get in your "Z`s"! When there are so many thoughts swimming through your brain, it`s hard to fall asleep, so what can you do? Some read a book. My friend tells me reading puts her to sleep. I wonder what kind of book she`s reading! LOL! No, she says if she can`t get to sleep, she just reads a few pages, and she`s ready to hit the pillow. Others drink a warm glass of milk before retiring. I found out that 3 cold pork chops, some macaroni and cheese, and a couple of cool root beers does the same thing! LOL! Some fall asleep watching the late night news. I tried that, and I got nightmares. I have to admit, I have a terrible time falling asleep every night, no matter how tired I am. I think about my projects. I think about my day and what I accomplished. I think about the people I talked to. I think about those who lost the weight and those who are still struggling most every day. To break this conversation with my mind, I say a little prayer my father taught me over 50 years ago. "Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." And sometimes, I say that prayer a few times until I shut down and visit the Sugar Plum Fairies. On Sundays, I take a 30-minute shuteye nap. Look at your schedule and rearrange a few things in order to get a better night`s sleep every night. BAA… Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
