Another excellent edition!
I don’t know why people are still underestimating the power of sleep on their daily lives and mental health! Thanks for including this story in this week’s “Your Passion This Week”.
The sleep issue is SO hard for me. Once everyone else in the house is asleep, I tend to stay up way too late to read. I know it is terrible for my health to be sleep-deprived, though, so this post is a reminder to make time to read during the day so that I am not trying to do so at midnight.
Thanks Janet and Edward! I too struggle with getting enough sleep. My goal is to be off the computer (my vice) by 10 p.m. and in bed by 11 p.m. I guess I need to report back on that!
