Is Sleep better than Sex?

Is Sleep better than Sex? For a lot of working mothers it seems so – particularly those mums with kids under five who are still waking during the night. A recent article mentioned some tips for getting more sleep so that we can feel better and be more productive during the day:

1. Set a bedtime for yourself and keep it! (you may just lose weight if you do this as you won’t be so tired and have all those food cravings!)
2. Invest in some proper pyjamas (I suggest wearing silk – it makes you feel good and a lot more feminine than just ‘mummy’ type clothes – and it’s proper ‘sleeping’ attire)
3. Switch off your mobile while it charges overnight.
4. Don’t check the time or switch on the lights if you do wake up during the night.
5. Counting backwards from 300 in sets of three helps you drift off.
6. Cut out some of the other stuff, like an hour watching TV to ‘wind down’ at the end of the day – sleep is more essential!
7. Stop believing that working 24/7 shows you are serious – you can be professional and get some sleep.

SO go some some more sleep! Read the whole article at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article7021747.ece
