Are you always tired?

Are you getting 8 hours of sleep a night? Even more importantly, are your kids

getting 10 hours of sleep a night?

If not, then the report below has some very sobering information for you.

You may have heard that getting enough sleep is crucial to losing weight. That's true,

and this article explains the science behind the "why".

You probably also know that sleeplessness affects your mood and cognitive abilities.

Again, you'll find out exactly how that happens.

But frankly, until I read this article, I didn't understand how important sleep is when it

comes to our kids' cognitive development--and our own mental well-being.

My first thought upon reading this was: "I have to be stricter about bedtime for the

kids."

My second thought was: "How many times have I driven while sleep-impaired?"

For a few years I struggled with vague, gloomy feelings, even though my life is great

and I have every reason to be content and happy. If you struggle with this, too, then

the above article will help you tremendously.

And, of course, if you're finding that your weight loss isn't going as fast as you'd like,

you may want to examine your sleep habits.

I hope you find the sleep article as helpful in making lifestyle changes as I did. It's

perfect timing for some New Year's resolutions regarding bedtimes!
