Are you and your partner getting enough sleep?

Lately, Dan and I have been reminded of how very important it is to rest our bodies, our brains and get enough sleep. Not “rocket surgery” I know, but we felt it worth noting in a quick blog. We are all so busy and wrapped up everything we “have to” do, sleep is often sacrificed. According to many reports and studies, we are a society of sleep deprived individuals and this, no doubt, has an effect on our relationships.

Think about it. When you are tired, or worse exhausted, everything becomes more difficult and if you and your spouse are having a tough week, for whatever reason, things can quickly escalate into trouble. Communication can become strained and feelings can be more easily hurt when we are run down. Why do that to yourself?

I don’t know about you, but after a good sleep everything is just easier –- even when there are problems to deal with. Do yourself and your partner a favor and try and catch up on your rest. You will both feel better; even if you already feel pretty good.

Sleep well.

Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
