I'm such a night owl… I put on weight during the week when I'm not sleeping much. But when I crash on the weekends and sleep in I start to see the weight come off. I really need to work on this. I knew this was true but it's nice to have a reminder to work on it more.

If you have a collection of sleep disorders, as I do, over 5 hours of sleep is almost impossible.
	jaclyncrystal February 8, 2010 at 3:22 pm 0 Likes I like this I don't like this Report as inappropriate confirms what I have been reading on getting enough sleep, I am a bad one for staying up way to long every night, new plan is to get to sleep earlier.
