sleep

As it turns out, New York is not really the city that never sleeps. A new study ranks which cities around the globe get the most and least sleep.

When I saw the first photo on msn.com my reaction was "cute".  As I saw more pics I knew I had to read Jessica Shyba's story of how this adorable little boy and a puppy named Theo became naptime buddies.  Honestly, these pics will melt your heart.

I was making the bed the other day and noticed the above tag on the foot of the mattress.  Well, it's July so obviously, I'm not complying with the suggestion of the manufacturer.  I know my husband is diligent about flipping the mattress to the other side on a regular basis, but were unaware of the flip from head to foot.  Are we the ONLY people that do this?

Years ago my step dad woke me up by blaring a recording of a real lion attacking at full volume in my bedroom.  Needless to say that my reaction would bring him great joy every time he told the story to others for years after.  I have to admit it was very funny, once I got my bearings, and that's why I appreciate all of these wake up pranks.

This isn't some kind of motivational speaking crap about how you can achieve your goals and blah blah blah.  This is much simpler.  It's how you can control your dreams while you are sleeping.  Some people naturally can, but for most people you need to practice.  Why control your dreams?  Well you can do whatever you want in your dreams, and you can even turn scary dreams around.

Next time your wife or girlfriend (or paid companion) complains that you fall asleep right after sex instead of engaging in hours of after-glow pillow talk, tell her it’s not your fault — and you can back it up with science.

We all know getting too little sleep isn’t good for us, but did you know getting too much shuteye can make your memory worse, too?

This is a sleep deprived rant.  I just have to get it out.  It's Thursday Morning, and since Monday I've had 6 1/2 hours of sleep.  That's not good.  I'm starting to lose my sense of reality.  Here's why I can't sleep.

So we've all had the night where you can't fall asleep.  Last night was my night.  I went to bed about 10 pm and probably fell asleep around 1 am.  Why couldn't I sleep?  Because my mind wouldn't turn off.  Here's what I remember thinking about...

It may not be news to you that today’s kids are deprived of sleep, but before you blame smartphones or computer games, consider this: children haven’t been getting enough shut-eye for more than a century.

All you ladies out there now have an excuse for getting out of working night shifts. A new study indicates women who work these hours could be increasing their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Who knew?

If you find yourself dragging in the middle of the day, don’t reach for the coffee pot — reach for a pillow instead. Experts say naps may be a good way to make up for the sleep deficit many of us have from not getting enough shut-eye at night.
