Curl up with your pillows and your blankie. Close your eyes and dream so soft and hazy. – Pooh
When Michaela was little, I read Winnie the Pooh stories to her before bed. Sometimes she’d fall asleep while I read.
And when she slept she looked so angelic.
Sleep is important for all ages. So much happens while we sleep.
Sleeping promotes a healthy immune system.
Tissue growth and repair occur.
And levels of the hormone cortisol dip at bed time and promote alertness in the morning.
Years ago when I decided to embrace a healthier life-style, I found eating right and exercise alone made little difference in my efforts to get fit. It wasn’t until I made up my mind to get a good eight hours of sleep each night, that I began to see results.

So curl up with your pillows and your blankie. Close your eyes and dream so soft and hazy.
