Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Inspired by @Former-Member and a recent post from @D1ng0, I've decided to kick start a master thread on that delightful activity we spend about a third of our lives doing: Sleep!!

😴 🐑 💭 🛌

Sleep is a biggie, it's vital to our ability to function! We all know just how impactful it is when we don't get enough of it, so this thread serves both as a source of information and insight, as well as a place for members to talk about their sleep troubles, swap ideas, and ask questions!

I believe @Former-Member you're quite knowledgeable in this area, so by all means drop your knowldge bombs whenever you're ready! 😍

I will also share below, my personal experiences with insomnia that I shared with @D1ng0 - and D1ng0 feel free to use this thread to continue chatting about your sleep challenges if you like - up to you 😉

I'm gonna tag a few people, but don't wanna go too wild with it so please do tag more folks who may wanna get in on this discussion!

Oh Shazzy. Na @Shaz51 that’s not good for the brain 🧠 Not good for your diabetes.

Increased Blood pressure and Cortisol.

I hope at the time I’m writing this post, that you have already gone to sleep for the night.

Re: Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Gotcha DogMan79, my bad.

I really hope this doesn't sound condescending, but I, like you, despise getting loads of emails every time I'm tagged. What I ended up doing was to create a rule in my inbox, so now ALL auto emails from the forums get sent automatically to another folder - no more clogged inbox, no more little red number on my mail app driving me bonkers. If you look up your email host service + 'create rule' on google it should tell you how to do the same.

If you don't wanna do that tho, that is so fair 👍

lol it might just end up being its own hassle 😅

I managed to find the setting in control panel to turn off all email notifications

IDK if this forum has emoticons, but imagine a happy one
