Always Take the Time for a Time Out

Good morning everybody! Today is a very beautiful Sunday and the beginning of a very grand week! What I love about Sundays are what you're able to do on a Sunday... can you guess? That's right! Sleep! Everybody loves to have a time to rest and rejuvenate their bodies after a long week so they have the energy for the new week! But why is sleep so important?

Well, sleep is a natural activity for almost all species because of the healing powers that it possesses! With sleep, your body is using less processes and allows your cells to regain strength. When you're awake, you're using constant energy for your basic functions to keep operating. However, when you're asleep, your brain flips that slow down switch for your organs, glands, and everything else to take a rest and rejuvenate!

Studies have shown that your body has everything it needs to fight off and heal any problems which occur in your body. So when your body is less active, it initializes those little fixers in your body to do their jobs and fix you up for the next day!

 It also is a psychological need which is super important if you don't want to end up in the mad house! Like, have you ever had one of those days where you want to kick a kitten? Well I know I haven't, if you have... then I don't know what to tell you other than GET SOME SLEEP! Sleep releases tensions and relaxes the mind so it is critically important for you and the kitten!

"Regular sleep is important. Sleep has restorative power and evidence shows that sleep enhances memory and improves attention." (The Teenage Mind) 

So all you party people who love to stay up late and then end up lousy in the morning; put down your drinks, kick up your feet and take a long nap! Enjoy your Sunday and the rest of your week!
