A Good Night’s Rest or Got Sleep?
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
We spend a lot of time doing it (or trying to avoid it), but do we spend enough time considering the importance of sleep? Among all the other things that sleep deprivation can negatively affect, new research out of the University of Arizona shows that the quality of a couple’s relationship and the quality of their sleep are closely linked. Not getting enough sleep gave couples more negative feelings about their relationship. In addition, negative feelings about their relationship caused couples to get less sleep. The combination can cause a couple to enter a vicious cycle that leads straight to an unhappy marriage!
I’d be lying if I said my wife and I consistently got enough sleep, but after reading this article we’re definitely working on it. Some of the roughest parts of our marriage have occurred when we’re both sleep deprived and everything gets on each other’s nerves. If you agree, join us with the goal of a good night’s rest much more often.
Have you ever had a looooong day? The kind of day where work follows you home or it seems like every school assignment is due tomorrow? If so, then this video is for you. If you have not experienced a long day personally but have been affected by your spouses looooong day, then this video is for you too!
Sleep is a necessary part of life. Sure it is possible to go without it for a day or two but past that it’s crash and burn. Sleep is imperative to a healthy marriage. This video highlights what lack of sleep can cause at home. Is this video silly? Absolutely, but research validates the importance of sleep. So be good to yourself and your spouse and get the much needed rest your marriage deserves.
