Sleeping In
This may be a pillar in my Rx for a very healthy life. At the very least, I think a good “lying in,” as my British friends would say, once a week can do a great deal of good. Most Americans who work full-time [this includes full-time stay-at-home parents] do not get enough sleep. A once a week catch-up could be a necessity, rather than an indulgence. Of course, when the work week resumes one then has the challenge of returning to the before-dawn wake up time after luxuriating in dreamland for a few extra hours. However, I feel that the benefits gained to one’s health and well-being far outweigh the readjustment “shock.”
