I got so caught up talking about sleep (my favorite subject) I forgot to post. I have had a stomach bug all day so I wasn't up for walking. I didn't eat much so I guess that means I am green. Did take a nap.

Abelincoln, have you ever tried Meletonin? Worked wonders for me. If I have had too much sleep I notice I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. Another reason to have regular sleep bed times. Duh. Maybe that is why you feel sleepy during the day. You may not be getting restful sleep Ha...

Hi Kittson!! Welcome to No S! Isn't it the best? I love it. I understand about the diet head. It is good you got "out" when you did.
