I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

I've heard this too many times. "I'll sleep when I'm dead." As if a lifestyle with poor sleeping patterns, unregulated hormones, and health problems is something to brag about. I love to sleep and I've always loved sleep. Even at the height of my youth I would rarely sacrifice sleep for a full weekend of partying--or studying for that matter. Sleep makes us happy. It makes us healthy. It makes us more ourselves. Here are some the benefits of having good sleeping habits:

- Get sick less often

- Stable weight or even help with weight loss efforts

- Better overall heath, especially cardiovascular

- Reduced stress, better overall response to daily responsibilities

- Mental clarity

- Emotional health

- Tighter skin, shinier hair, stronger nails.

So sleep tight tonight!
