Sleep

Oh how I love sleep. I love it when my kids sleep. My twins are currently 3 1/2 (the 1/2 counts for alot in our house!!!) and we still have them napping. They are happier and more grounded when they've had a nap. Actually, I may be speaking for myself. I'M HAPPIER and more grounded when they've had a nap. :)
In truth, we need sleep for our brains and for our bodies. Sleep helps us remember what we have learned, pay attention and concentrate, solve problems and think of new ideas. For our bodies, sleep helps our muscles, bones, and skin grow as well as fix injuries. Sleep helps our body stay healthy and fight sickness. You grow, repair and rejuvenate when sleeping.
Think about how fast our kids are growing. Think about how much they run, jump, and play. They need to sleep.
Protecting your child's sleep and guiding them into good habits will help them grow stronger and be healthier.
This goes for parents too!!!!
Take care of you and lead by example!

  1. Does chiropractic care help in snoring issues? I don't sleep well and always hear Chris snore. I guess I am a light sleeper and want to get better sleep....so I don't catch the flu 1 week and get a cold 2 weeks later..I am running on empty. Will chiropractic care help me sleep better and not notice snoring?

  2. I think your hubby might need to get checked. At times, snoring can be helped through chiropractic care. I have also helped a lot of people sleep better. Get checked some time. I would love to evaluate you and let you know if I think I can help!
