Clocks

ctice good sleep hygiene. • Get up at the same time every day, week day and week end. Your biological clock is set by the time you rise and is programmed to seek sleep 16 hours after rising. Pick the time that works for all your days and stick to it. Go to bed in a way to ensure 8 hours in bed. The time you fall asleep is less critical but still a routine helps to set the stage to allow sleep to happen. • Bed should only be used for sleep (and sex) not to read, watch T.V. or be on the computer.…

So here I was standing next to Maxon on our walk around the neighborhood. The leaves were several different colors falling to the ground. A sudden chill came through the air.
