The Unexpected Reason For Being Constantly Tired
I’m always tired. Not for the expected reasons (too many commitments, getting older or from just being a parent of a child with boundless energy) but instead I’ve always had issues with sleep. I’ve gone from being able to fall asleep anywhere and at any time in high school (there are photos to prove it but I’m not sharing them) to my varying bouts of insomnia since college.

Not one sleep inducing remedy has ever helped for more than a short time – and I’ve tried them all: melatonin, lavender sprays, hot milk, eye mask, having a sleep routine and medication (both OTC and prescription). Although I’ll admit, I’m way too cheap to try the $395 Philip Stein sleep bracelet I saw recently in my Instagram feed.
When my annual check up gave no medical indications for my sleep issues, my new doctor suggested an in-home sleep study. So I wore a crapload of wires to bed for 3 nights in November. I had a contraption that monitored my breathing via a lovely looking (and feeling) nasal cannula and a pulse oximeter on my finger to measure the levels of oxygen in my blood while a small device recorded my breathing while I slept.

Tunes For Tuesday – Colin Hay
Happy December and Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!
Did you know that yesterday was my 1 Year Blogiversary? As 2013 winds down, there won’t be a specific theme to December’s Tunes For Tuesday picks – they’ll just all be songs that inspire a little positivity and happiness to help make the end of the year and the beginning of a new year an easier transition.
Today’s pick is “Beautiful World” by Colin Hay. If Colin’s name sounds familiar but you just can’t place it, he was the lead singer for the 80’s band “Men At Work”. He’s been solo for a number of years and his solo songs are quite amazing.

The #Selfie – A Blogiversary Retrospective
This post took longer than I thought to write. Today I’m celebrating my One Year Blogiversary. I had written some posts before December of last year as a 31 Day Project (aka dare) to see if I could actually start and stay committed to keeping up a blog but I’m considering today (ok, so maybe yesterday) my true Blogiversary.
