Resolution Step #4 - Get Some Sleep!

How does sleep help you stay on track? A good night's rest brings more energy, productivity, boosts the immune system, helps the body heal and strengthen, stabilizes hormone/chemical balances in the body, and assists the brain in storing short term memories into the long-term storage areas. We are a sleep-deprived society - almost all of us could use more sleep! Give your body a change to re-charge by getting a full night. A full night for some is may be longer or shorter than the average, but if you are tired all the time and find yourself battling colds more than the average (or battling weight management issues) try adding some sleep time. Pleasant dreams.
