Exactly...and try the sleepy time tea, or xanax.. just sayin' lol they have the same effect on me.

Sleep better when stressed? Take a warm bath before bedtime (or sit in the hot tub). Chamomile tea. Or drink a bottle of wine...that usually helps, too.

Or - and this is the one that really seems to do wonders for me - get tired enough. Couple that with wine and you are really set...

Screw that 1/2 pound. With a week like this - I hereby declare you...wait for it... "Normal"!

Drink a smoothie for breakfast. We do mango, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, bananas and orange-pineapple-banana juice plus 1/3 cup of fage yogurt, and a splash of milk and dollop of flaxseed oil. Makes me regular as a....I don't know. But on weekends, when I don't drink it...not so regular. :ohmy: That and water water water...

Congratulations on the Wii.

And a few words to ponder...when life seems to be taking over - sit back and enjoy the ride...

"Life is what happens when you are making all those other plans"

I often yell at my Wii when it "oh"s me. I hate that!!

Best thing for sleep...(and for stress, and water intake, and constipation, and everything else)...exercise! But you already knew that. But for sleep dont exercise close to bedtime..and if you DO exercise let me know cuz I need the shame!

Hang in there...D

oh, And I declare you normal too!!!
