The Oaks at Ojai (California)

I don't want to state the obvious, but what the heck, I will! If you do not on a regular basis get enough sleep (7-9 hours a night), then you are on a regular basis compromised! Studies show that sleep deprivation has many root systems and just as many negative effects that "flower" from those roots.

Let's look at some roots:

• Poor Eating Habits: Too much sugar, caffeine, alcohol, plain old too much
• Not enough exercise: Not expending proper amounts of energy can leave you restless
• Unattended hormones, adrenals, or a malfunctioning thyroid: Be aware and pro active
• Stress: You hit the hay and rehash the day- not good. Find healthier ways to release
• Sleep Apnea: This breathing abnormality can be diagnosed and treated at a Sleep Center
• Depression: It isn't all in your head and sleeplessness is just one of the many negatives

The effects of sleep deprivation are obvious:

• Diminished ability to concentrate
• Loss of interest, energy, and enthusiasm
• Short temper and moodiness
• Over eating to compensate for fatigue
• Compromised immune system
• Difficulty losing weight

Add in your personal experience and observation- and then do what you need to do to ensure that you are regularly getting enough sleep to recharge your batteries!
Don't underestimate the power of the Z's!
