I Love Monday
This weekend’s time change reminds me how much I love sleep. And if you read the cover story in the new Medical Examiner, you know that sleep is EXTREMELY important to health. If a person is doing everything else right except getting sufficient sleep, then that person isn’t healthy. Of course, it’s not always the person’s fault. There are medications whose side effects interfere with sleep. Some people are in unrelenting (or only occasionally relenting) pain. But if anything is interfering with your sleep, do everything you can to remove that obstacle. It might be very simple; or it might require a visit to a sleep clinic. Start with simple things, and if they work, great. If they don’t, take the next step, and then another and another, until you can get the sleep your body requires. Adequate sleep is not an option. It’s a requirement.
