Sleep is such an important part of staying healthy. Pregnant women sometimes have trouble sleeping due to massive hormonal changes and their expanding belly. It gets more difficult towards the end of the pregnancy with even less sleep. Our body need to rest and rejuvenate nightly. When we are asleep our body is busy calibrating and fine-tuning our body for the next day.
When you are lacking in sleep, the flow of the body gets disrupted and important information gets missed. Muscles are not at rest. You find it hard to concentrate on one full thought. As a result, a traffic jam results with no beginning and no end. If you have ever gone without sleep for more than 24 hours, you know exactly what I mean.
As infants, we need sleep to grow big and strong. As adults, we need sleep to properly function. How many of you have learned that in college studying for your finals? Coffee can only go so far. Take the time to treat yourself to a restful night of sleep. Work and dirty dishes can wait til you are rejuvinated.
