antics, musings, and observations of an athlete mom with type 1 diabetes, living in the Salt Lake City area. I do what I can to see it frequently by foot and bike.

Go to Bed!
I noticed an article on cnn.com about getting enough sleep. The basic gist of it is that inadequate sleep adversely affects one's health; specifically, it can make it easier to gain weight due to hormonal changes that occur with sleep deprivation. I don't think it's a big suprise to most people that lack of sleep increases daytime fatigue, irritability, and likelihood of getting sick. With all of the media attention and health advice on weight management, I am surprised that the need for enough sleep hasn't been given more emphasis.
