I had a terrible night of rest the other day. My youngest son wanted to stay up and keep nursing all night long. Needless to say the next day I was dragging. I had to take a nap, something I never get to do, and it was great!

1. You may get sick
2. You gain weight
3. You forget things and get foggy
4. You are accident prone

Reasons why you aren't getting enough rest:

1. You take sleep for granted
2. You rely on caffeine and alcohol
