The Side Effects of Endorphins

Monday is my last day of work so we shall see.

I start my day with a German lesson and a daily writing prompt.

I head out the door as soon as work is over for a run or a walk.

We take our meds, we feed the dogs, brush our teeth and make our beds. So we shall look at the fine art of :

making our beds.

• A study by the National Sleep Foundation found that people who make their beds are 19% more likely to report getting a good night’s sleep. 
• Clean sheets and a tidy bed contribute to a more relaxing sleep environment, which can improve sleep quality. 

Statistics are like bikinis because what they hide is somewhat important. Also if you do nothing else the rest of the day at least you made your bed.

According to another study on personal and household hygiene, people who are more tidy and organized tend to have better impulse control and are more conscientious, orderly, and goal-oriented. Those who cleaned up also paid more attention to manners and following social norms—and were most often women who made their tidying consistent by including it in their daily routine.6

Add Fitted Sheets to The Equation

And all bets are off and you can ignore all of this. I started this little essay, heading in one direction and never arrived. Be flexible as each day can be different than the last. Have a great day.
