Day 42: You Snooze You Lose?

I suppose this day was bound to come, but now that it has I'm completely undone. I've lost the notebook that I keep all my blog ideas in. Truthfully, there weren't that many left. Still and all, it's as though I've lost my security blanket. My brain is completely blank. I've got nada. I'm hoping that I've simply misplaced it and that it'll turn up in the freezer or in the battery box or in the bread drawer. Speaking of which, Thomas's no longer seems to be making Honey Wheat English Muffins. They were J's favorites and I haven't been able to find them for weeks. I can't tell you how many times I've been to the grocery store recently searching for them. I just can't let it go.

I heard an interesting tidbit on the radio today about kids and sleep and how even small amounts of it can affect their smarts. For instance, A students average fifteen more minutes of sleep per night than B students, and B students average fifteen more minutes per night than C students. Similarly, a study found that sixth grade students who had half an hour less sleep than usual three nights in a row and then took an intelligence test tested at a fourth grade level.

A good night's sleep is just what the doctor ordered. I rarely get one, which explains a lot. Perhaps if I go to bed now I'll be able to find my notebook in the morning.
