Counting sheep didn’t cut it last night. Well, I have to be honest. I didn’t even try! The good news, is I have been so happy and pumped that I just want to daydream for hours.

I have never been one to have trouble sleeping. Jabie teases me to no end about how I hit the pillow and am out. But last night I awoke at 3 am and never did fall back asleep. Too much excitement! Things are going well and they are all running through my mind.

I do need to focus on getting proper sleep. My whole life I have been dutiful about a proper night’s rest. This past month, however,  I have been so inspired to blog and learn social media that I have been burning the candle at both ends. Nothing good ever comes of that!

Here are six reasons not to scrimp on sleep.  Learning, Memory, Safety, Mood, Cardiovascular health, disease, metabolism and weight seem like good enough reasons to hit the hay. And don’t forget your appearance!
