This Is Me Maria

I dream of the ocean

I dream of the darkness

I dream of the silence

I dream of the wind

I dream of the fog

I dream of the cold

I dream of the rain

I dream of comfort found in these things

Lately I have been hearing doctors talk about how important sleep is, more important than even exercise. The topic has probably come up because there are so many people doing more and more and getting less and less sleep. That certainly is the case in our house at times.

A website that I was introduced to my first year in college is the National Sleep Foundation’s website www.sleepfoundation.org. There is so much stuff here it is amazing and overwhelming. Here is some interesting info.

HERE there is a section that explains why nighttime sleep is important. Not only is it restorative to our whole selves, sleep is a part of our circadian biological clock that is supposed to be in sync with the rising and setting of the sun.

Moms can take a sleep test here.

This video about the Doze family is educational and interesting.

Still not sure if you have sleep issues? Keep a Sleep Diary.

I have discovered that my circadian rhythm is very much off. How is yours?
