We are the Champions
Two years ago, I purchased an Oura ring. It’s a good fitness tracker, counts my daily steps, shows me my sleep patterns, how well I sleep, or NOT, and helps me maintain a good heart rate. A couple of days ago my husband asked, “How was your sleep last night?” I quickly pulled out my…
Pillow Promises
Seems the new “sleeping” trend these days is satin pillowcases. That is one of the Christmas presents on my granddaughter’s list last year that I purchased for her for $49. So, when Bed, Bath and Beyond was having its store closing sale, I bought two at $4.50 each. I wanted to see if what “they”…
Getting Enough Sleep?
Watching King Charles’ and Queen Camilla’s coronation apparently had me on high alert for news about them. I fell prey to an article that talked about their sleeping arrangements. One line on social media caused me to investigate, rather, “chase a squirrel”! Britain’s Wellness editor, Melanie Macleod, stated: “King Charles and Queen Camilla are undoubtedly…
Is it Naptime Yet?
Most everyone that reads my blog will notice that I am an early riser. I have a built-in alarm clock that awakens me around 4 am. I use that early morning time to go over my blog one more time before I post it before 6 am. My promise to God was to post my…
Antidote for Sleeplessness
So, I’m a light sleeper and a little sleeper and sometimes, a nap-sleeper. Here’s the deal. From young childhood years through today, I’ve been an “early bird” riser. Four to five a.m. is my up and at ’em time. And I’m not exactly early-to-bed at night. Four or five hours of sleep is usual and…
That 4-Letter Word….Rest
I was drawn to the word “rest” after our diehard president was forced to stop and rest when he tested positive for the C-virus. A few days ago, I heard him respond to an interviewer’s question: “What symptoms were you having before you tested positive for the coronavirus?” He responded: “I just didn’t feel the…
If You Don’t Use It, You’ll Lose It
My precious mom said to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed!” His reply? “The day you decide to do that, count on being bedridden very soon. In essence, he was saying “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” These days – our minds are on…
He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep
To avoid the work-week traffic, I left at a decent time last Sunday to drive home from Austin. About two and a half hours of driving later, I started to get quite drowsy. I saw a Rest Area up ahead and thought I’d pull off and shut my eyes for a few minutes. I lowered…
Do You Have “Wide Awake” Parties at Night?
My Mom was a light sleeper. I was a sound sleeper, but over the years, I’ve found myself waking up more often, and even after only about 6 hours of sleep at night, I’m wide awake. There’s plenty of traits my Mom had that I want, but not that one. I was telling my mom-in-law…
I’ve Got the Eye of the Tiger…..Roaring Like a Lion
Heading to bed with NO fear, NO worry, No doubt — sweet sleep is on its way — because……. “I’ve got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar! Louder, louder than a lion ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re…
