Money Woes & Losing Sleep

The focus of this blog is sharing ways to stretch our resources to provide for our families and save for the future. These days it seems like every time we turn on the TV or radio we are hear another piece of news about job losses or how bad the economy is. We are already living too busy, fast paced lives with more than enough stress. The constant stream of "bad news" tends to make it worse. Sometimes, it feels like turning up the heat on the pressure cooker.
Personally, I have too many nights where I wake up at 3:30 AM and had difficulty falling back asleep because of all of the "steam" in my pressure cooker. During a recent business trip a friend sent me this article he read in Southwest Airlines in flight magazine. The title of the article is "The Science of ZZZZZZZs". It is a somewhat humorous look at many of the gadgets that people spend their money on trying to get better sleep. While the article may seem long and you may start to doze off part way through, be sure to read the helpful suggestions at the end that won't cost you any money and may help you improve your sleep.
