Y’all keep asking me about “sleep” and my sleeping habits, but I can never answer y’all because I’m too busy napping. :)

Greatist, however, has plenty of answers to your questions about sleeping and how sleep affects your health:

Thoughts?

    I definitely need to leave my laptop and cell phone outside of my room. I wake up to both next to my bed and I’m sure it contributes to my anxiety. I’m just so used to winding down with my tv and computer, preparing for the following day. Sigh…

    I’ve been suffering from on and off insomnia for over 7 years. After talking to my gynecologist, she says that I am in the early stages of menopause. The sad thing is that I am only 42. So I have many years of this.

    Many of the tips you have mentioned I have heard from doctors or read in books. For me, I need to reduce my stress so that the mind chatter doesn’t wake me up.

    What bugs me most is that sometimes lack of sleep interferes with my fitness routine. I have learned to be flexible and adjust on the fly. Sometime I just run to get the mileage in; I don’t have to run like a Kenyan.

    I can’t stop these episodes from happening, but I have had some success in reducing their length.

    Thanks for the tips!

    I totally agree with this. I need to get more sleep at night. I do take naps at work and my coworkers are shocked that I do it so easily. A 15 min power nap does me good. Thanks for the info!

A few rules for posting, friends:

  • Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
  • If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
  • If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
  • Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
  • Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
  • Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
  • Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I keep the community civil. Everyone appreciates that civility until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail me to complain. I already know you're mad.)
