Healthy Timing

I believe that February is the month that the most people get sick. Its the dead of winter, healthy eating habits usually slide downwards toward comfort foods and booze, and everyone's germs are cooped up together in the same dry air. So, I'm extremely grateful to be challenging myself to get 8 hours of sleep a night. I've realized this, with a few herbal supplements I take, has safeguarded me against evil colds and flu viruses. While my wonderful friends cough up congestion and meander around with slow weak bodies, I have felt refreshed. I know my immune system is thankful for my 8 hours.

I must admit this is a hard challenge to reinforce. Perhaps because I'll go to be an hour early on night, and 30 minutes late the next. Its hard to keep track if I'm averaging 8 hours nightly. I'll try keeping a log this week and see how it goes. Sweet dreams!
