Sleep is Good
May 11, 2010 { 0 comments }After NINE solid hours of sleep last night I feel like a completely new person. I had reached the point of exhaustion and a good night’s sleep was exactly what I needed. My energy levels were much higher today and the on and off headache I’ve had for the last five days finally went away. [...]
