Seriously… I think that lack of quality sleep is the reason for not posting much of anything since the election. I was wired during the months leading up to it, and with the win came great relief, but not so much sleep. So what? Well in this morning’s paper I read:
Just in time for the holidays, some medical advice most people will like: Take a nap.
Interrupting sleep seriously disrupts memory-making, compelling new research suggests. But on the flip side, taking a nap may boost a sophisticated kind of memory that helps us see the big picture and get creative.
“Not only do we need to remember to sleep, but most certainly we sleep to remember,” is how Dr. William Fishbein, a cognitive neuroscientist at the City University of New York, put it at a meeting of the Society for Neuroscience last week.
I’ve been keeping up on the news and listening to the Obama press conferences, but I haven’t assimilated it all well enough to say anything even remotely creative.
In fact, every day about this time after lunch, I start thinking a nap is what I need.
I’ll bet all those “professional” bloggers out there (by that I mean they don’t have full-time jobs that interfere with their writing and are actually good enough at it to make a living) get to take naps whenever they need to.
So if for whatever reason you like what we do on this blog, click on one of the Amazon ads and buy something. That puts a little money in our kitty, and we use it to buy beer. It helps us sleep.
