Sleep and why we need it
The other day someone made a post about the importance of sleep and today I ran across this article on the very same topic. I know that I definitely feel healthier and lose weight better when I'm getting the sleep my body needs. (Although as my body changes I find that I need to change my sleeping position too, which is odd!)

I'm amused that the night I posted this I ended up getting like 2 hours of sleep. :P I better get a good night of sleep tonight so I can run tomorrow!
