the foundation of mood. i look back at the times i fell into depressions, and there is almost always a link to getting enough sleep. i was 50 before i figured out that i need an average of 11 hours. it is hard to manage, especially when you have no idea.

get something to help on those hard to sleep nights. an ambien here and there helps me so much.
