Sleep is essential to feeling at peace. And it's one of the best things you can do for yourself.

You might think that getting 5 or 6 hours a night allows you more time to do, be and achieve, but you're running on fumes and caffeine...and pretty soon it's going to catch up with you. You might be able to handle all of your jobs (the wedding being one of them) well for a while, but when the first person says 'You look tired' or the boss doesn't give you a big assignment because the bags under your eyes and your incessant coffee drinking is *showing* the entire office that you're not on your game these days...it'll be apparent that you have to change your ways. And getting solid sleep is one of the best and easiest ways to regain your peace.

You can always record those late-night TV shows. You and your sweetie can take a nap on Sunday. You can avoid late-night snacking by being fast asleep. I'm not giving out health advice here....we've all read the studies that say how great sleep is for your body and mind. I'm just reminding you to get your Z's.

Those 8 hours are a time of recharging, and you'll be happier and more productive once you add sleep to your daily Must list. Pleasant dreams!
