Are You Getting Your Zzz's?

I was told by one of my clients today that she loved what she remembers of her session. You see, she fell sound asleep on the table - so deeply that I had to wake her to turn over, and then again at the end of the session. I have to wonder - was the massage that fantastic, or is she sleep deprived?
We all have so many stresses in our lives these days, it seems to me that sleeplessness has become much of the "norm". We are accepting and settling for inadequate rest and putting much more importance on other things than on our own health. Even now, I am writing this piece instead of climbing into my own warm, soft bed (but I assure you I'll be there in a moment or two).

I'm linking you to a wonderful article called "The Sleep Crisis" by Barry Kapke, A.C.S.T. Read through it and learn why you must put sleep at the top of your Health To-Do List. Learn about our Sleep Need and Sleep Debt, how to manage your sleep time wisely, and find out what sleep really is. You'll be surprised to know that sleep is not a want. Sleep is not something that comes in bits and pieces, and sleep is not a privilege. Sleep is a NEED. So get plenty of it! You'll be amazed at how much better you feel, and then you just might be able to experience how wonderful the massages really are!

G'night!
Amanda
