Just as Mum said - sleeping is good for u.

sleep good for health
Signature Tune





Mom was right -- you need your sleep. Those who sleep five or fewer hours a night are 32 percent more likely to gain weight and 15 percent more likely to become obese than those who sleep an average seven hours, according to a Case Western Reserve University study described in The Good Enough Guide to Health from ABC News. Haven't scared you enough? Too little sleep has also been linked to poorer decision making, reduced alertness and increased risk for diabetes and depression.

You can also improve the sleep with these little tricks:
Slip on socks: Warm feet widen blood vessels which helps your body transfer heat to sleep more soundly
Turn your alarm clock, cell phone and any other sources of light away from you (yes, that means no falling asleep with the T.V. on): Light signals our brain to wake up.

I've tried everything. A little bit of noise would wake me and that includes even my cat jumping on a chair in the kitchen!!!!

I think you are 'overtuned' Amy, and need to relax and slow down some. That is just my opinion.

Sleep (as much as you can) tight, Amy, nice to see you.

I Know, I know. But if I arrange the day to get enough sleep, I just work and sleep, and frankly, that sux.
