sleep

Even if you can’t go on a fancy vacation, you can still have a fun summer. Here’s how you can have a Bismarck staycation.

The national average for adults not getting enough sleep is 35.2%.

For me, it was my eyeballs about to spring out of their sockets like ping pong balls. But everyone has a different story.

We all know that sleep is as important to our well being as food, water, and breathing. But are you getting the proper amount of sleep every night?

"Sleeping on the job" is a phrase that is not positive. It's often preceded by "He was fired for" and can make you the butt of jokes for years to come. But maybe it shouldn't be such a bad thing.

Mandan Public Schools and St Mary's started classed this week. Bismarck Public Schools start after Labor Day. A new study out says students need more sleep and one solution is to start the school day after 8AM. According to NBC News, The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says the answer to the problem is to start the school day after 8AM, best at 830 AM.

The other night, the loud thunderstorm kept me awake, and when summer temperatures reach the 90’s it can also make it hard to sleep at night.  Here are a few tips to help you sleep well during those warm North Dakota nights so you can wake up early, well-rested, and stay awake listening to me at the Breakfast Table!

I will be honest I do LOVE my sleep, and with getting up around 3:15 in the morning Monday-Friday....I really love sleeping in until maybe 630 on Saturday and til 6 on Sundays.  And an occasional afternoon nap is relished by yours truly.  But when it comes to sleep---check this stuff out.

New survey is out and get ready for this stat---95% of cell phone, smart phone and IPhone owners sleep very close to their phones at night and it IS screwing with their sleep!!!

I ran across something almost scary for me---since I rise and shine so early every weekday morning around 3am and sometimes don't get to sleep until 10 or 1030 at night.   It seems a lack of sleep can kill brain cells---YIKES!!!
