June 2, 2011 Have you noticed how items that are supposed to make our lives easier almost always wind up being bad for us too? For example the microwave oven, it makes preparing food faster, but most of us it for making popcorn and junk food.
May 7, 2011 How does that coffee commercial go that Rascal Flatts sang? The best part of waking up....Well based upon what we hear on the Bruce and the Kennel Club show and what you post Tracy Wirtz Face Book , you don't look forward to waking up. We've got some suggestions on how you can start the day with a smile and loads of energy to take on the day!
March 3, 2011 I am sure the first thing that popped into your head after reading that headline was YES! Do you remember back in pre-school and kindergarten how nap time always seemed like such a drag? When you were little your Mom always wanted you to take a nap remember that? I think it is the ultimate sign of maturity to know that a nap is needed. I can tell you from my experience not only are naps needed but I think people would pay a lot of money to be able to get one everyday. So why do we quit napping? Is it because we are so gosh darn busy? Or does our body know something it just isn't telling us?
Do you wake up and think: Come on, just a few more minutes? Yeah same here, that's why I hit the SNOOZE button! But here are some reasons you really should hit that button...
February 25, 2011 If you wake up in the middle of I-10 with cars buzzing by you really fast you probably needed more sleep. If you're in the middle of that operation and your head falls into the incision, you probably need more sleep. If you're at your child's school play and you doze off, well you're probably just a parent doing the best you can do. Lack of sleep is a major problem in America, here are some signs that you might really have sleep issues.
February 20, 2011 When we were kids we just ran and played all day and that was enough to send us drifting off into a deep sleep all night long. Now it seems like as adults we are doing more, but more with our brains than our bodies and it's hard to shut the mind off just because the head hits the pillow

"Sleep, tis such a gentle thing, beloved from pole to pole, to Mary Queen the praise be given, she sent the gentle sleep from heaven, that slid into my soul."
Impressed? I think that is from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, and as someone who values sleep those words mean a lot. So do you have a child that won't go to sleep? I've got two of them. Let's read on and fix this for both of us.
December 27, 2010 It's something we have always wished for during the day or after a particularly big plate lunch, a nap at the office, well now it seems to be the "IN" thing!
December 24, 2010 We all have our nights of tossing and turning and speaking as someone whose day starts really early those rough nights make for even tougher days. What happens when those days become more the rule than the exception, what is your body trying to tell you? What can you do to make sure you get the rest you need?
December 17, 2010 Do you want to look years younger, more healthy, sexy and appealing to members of the opposite sex? What is it some miracle cream, salve or potion? Nope it's what they tried to teach you when you were younger. Go to bed and get a good nights sleep!
