R & R for Sunday, November 6th, 2011

R AND R TIP #74;  It's time to reclaim that extra hour of sleep

The Autumn Equinox has come, but many of us continue to fool ourselves that it's just late summer.  However, the game is over once we turn back the clocks.  Many  will start driving home form work in the dark.   The clock change is really the marker for many people that a change in seasons has actually happened.

Autumn means many more hours of darkness and cold weather.  As a result many feel depressed and feel sleepiness and fatigue.  Why fight it, sleep is what we need...so just go to bed.  Most of us are sleep deprived anyway.  Going to bed when you feel sleepy is one of the wisest things you can do for yourself.

For most people it's not the change in time that affects them, its the cold dark dreary days.  It's important to get as much morning light, and throughout the day, as possible.  For some people this is a good solution. There are many light therapy lamps and bulbs on the market, create more light at home, your body just may need it

I do hope you all remembered to set your clocks back one hour and I hope you were blessed with that extra hour of sleep too!  Rest and Relax and enjoy your Sunday.  It will help you to be refreshed and renewed for the coming week!

Have a Wonderful Sunday! 

See you all next week!

Love, Live, Laugh and Be Happy!
