sleep

Humans are such rebels. We know we need to get to sleep, but we sabotage our own desires. So, let's come at it from a different angle.

Just like you did when trying to get to bed earlier, setting a plan in place and creating morning rituals can certainly ease the pain.

Starting a new habit can feel unnatural at first. Don’t give up. Do your best to get to sleep before midnight and wake up earlier—at the same time every day.

Some of these we already know. However--DOING them can make all the difference in the world.

There's many myths that have been spread around for years in regard to sleep. Hearing the debunking of some of these may be quite a comforting relief to you.

Even if you can only carve out a few hours, make rest a priority. It can make the rest of your days not only more pleasant, but more productive, too.

While I love a hot bath and think lounging in warm water would make almost anything better, the potential benefits of *gasp* cold showers are quite compelling.

I've found that the mornings when I rise early enough to have a bit of quiet time before the mad rush of the day begins, the entire day flows more smoothly.

When you're busy, sleep easily slips to the back-burner. However, getting quality sleep is crucial for living the other 16 hours or so of ours days well.

Now you can be read a bedtime story by Oscar winning, East Texas native, Matthew McConaughey.

This could very well be your dream job. A Texas-based company is looking for someone to test mattresses and write about the experience on social media. If you want a job taking naps, you've got a few days left to apply.

All along I thought it was just me needing more sleep, but now research is backing up my feeling that I do indeed need more sleep!
