I have read lately that lack of sleep can be a serious problem.
Ahhh, problems.
Did sleep ever consider that problems may be causing the lack thereof?
Listen to me talking to sleep like it is gonna hear me out, ha!
1. Headaches and pains in different areas of your head. You may also experience your eyes getting tired easier and having trouble staring at a TV or computer.
2. Sore muscles and joints are also very common since your body isn’t getting enough time to perform regular maintenance and body repairs. The majority of your muscle growth takes place at night while you sleep.
3. Memory loss and having trouble concentrating are commonly linked to loss of sleep. You will probably not be able to remember what happened yesterday or if you are experiencing severe lack of sleep, what happened earlier that day.
4. The color of your skin, especially the area around your eyes can take a bit of a hit. If you look in the mirror you will notice bags that form when you do not get enough sleep. If you want to look your best you better start catching more zzz’s at night.
Hi, my name is Melissa, I have always had a slight addiction to learning how to apply makeup. Meet my two very best friends from that world. Their names are yellow golden sun for my eyes and gorgeous green for my reds/purples. Then conceal. FOR REAL THEY WORK!
So tonight..without any make up to wash off before attempting to go to bed
I shall warm up to a cup of this:
But what, then, do we make of all the anecdotal evidence that says a glass of warm milk with special additives can do to help you fall asleep?
Well, here's the real kicker:

Sleep seems to have been an ongoing "problem" for me for who knows how long.
Yeah, my kids do it on schedule every eve so it has to work. Every night around the time of 7:30 I start to glance at the clock and start to lead the conversations of "OK in 10 minutes you will have to clean up and get ready to take a shower/bath" and then from there I get the whiny
"BUT Mom...Not right now!"
Well guess what; Mom generally responds with this after their heads hit the pillow.

Used to be that Mommy responded this way to that time
Now it is along the lines of, what to do; watch t.v. which I rarely do to begin with? Be on the computer in attempts to catch up on the world, try to read a book, download some music, sit on the couch with my hubby and chillax? Ooooh, good word; chillax.
And the side effects listed are as follows?? I am in for some trouble then, because these are just general side effects of lack of sleep. I don't even want to know what the severe side effects are!

I certainly don't have troubles staring at my computer right now, but what I do have troubles with is any flashes of light, sunlight or bright lights- hmmmm, part vampire?
2. Sore muscles and joints are also very common since your body isn’t getting enough time to perform regular maintenance and body repairs. The majority of your muscle growth takes place at night while you sleep.
Yep, I feel the muscles and joints but isn't that from just being a Mom and getting older too? Wait a second, I haven't touched on not drinking enough water~ Water is the source of life so I am told. It might have to be holy water if I am part vampire.
3. Memory loss and having trouble concentrating are commonly linked to loss of sleep. You will probably not be able to remember what happened yesterday or if you are experiencing severe lack of sleep, what happened earlier that day.
Pssshtt...
I know earlier today. 4 a.m.= up with massive headache. 6:30 a.m.= up with children making breakfasts, lunch for school, going over routines of the morning etc.
Up! Always UP!

Well, here's the real kicker:
It may just be that the routine of drinking a glass of warm milk is like an old teddy bear that reminds you of home when your mom tucked you into bed at night.
How comforting is that?
