Sleep - Are you getting enough of it?

Beauty rest is for more than just looking refreshed in the morning.  It's about feeling refreshed too. We all think we're superwomen and men...but the truth is, if you're not sawing enough wood, you're probably not too beautiful outside either.
Sleep experts say that without the right amount of quality sleep, you'll be unable to work, learn, communicate or create effectively. If you're vying for a promotion or embarking on an engaging project - you'll need to do your absolute best.
There's nothing worse than wanting to accomplish a goal and not having the physical or mental gusto to get it done.

Our little snoops tell us that adults need between 7.5 and 9 hours of sleep each night.  Say what?
Here are a couple of signs that  you may not be getting enough rest. If you:

• *Need an alarm clock in order to wake up on time
• Rely on the snooze button
• Have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning
• Feel sluggish in the afternoon
• Get sleepy in meetings, lectures, or warm rooms

• Get drowsy after heavy meals or when driving
• Need to nap to get through the day
• Fall asleep while watching TV or relaxing in the evening
• Feel the need to sleep in on weekends
• Fall asleep within five minutes of going to bed

Make an effort to cozy up between the sheets a little earlier tonight and see if you feel more alert, refreshed and sharp for whatever comes  your way tomorrow. Let us know if the extra hour or so has made a difference in your life.
