Get your ZZZ's

Week 2 of  "52 Small Changes One Year to a Happier, Healthier, You" by Brett Blumenthal

Week on is drink your water!  Half your body weight in ounces!

And on to week 2:  Get Your Zzz's
"Sleep is the best Medicine" Dalai Lama

The health benefits of getting enough sleep are indisputable.  Proper sleep helps to strengthen and support the immune system, boosts cognitive function, consolidates memories, keeps hormones in check, and helps us to look and feel our best.

When we don't get enough, health problems, both mentally and physically, can occur.  In the short term, we may experience irritability and moodiness, decreased attention span, fatigue, and headaches.  Long-term effects of not getting enough sleep, however, include slowed metabolism, which can lead to possible weight gain or diabetes, increased blood pressure and heart-rhythm irregularities, impaired memory, depression, and increased susceptibility to health problems.

The Change:  Get seven to eight hours of restful sleep every night!
