Dear Tushkateers! 

I recently had an opportunity to attend the WEIL on WELLNESS Immersion at Miraval Resort in Tucson.  It was glorious on so many levels.  The desert air, the cacti (I just love them - not to sit in them but to admire from afar :) ... the food was exquisite, the people, lovely - and the 'immersion' enlightening, or as I like to say 'en-LITE-ening!" 

Sleep, as we know, plays a part in permanent fat removal (if you lose it, you may find it).    And our night-stands give us a good visual of 'how we sleep,' 'what we take from our day into the night that interfers with a good night's sleep ...

So ... please read on and then visit the Our Lady of Weight Loss blog  - my blog - our blog - that is chock a block with food for thought and fat-burning secrets. 

Here follows ... and do weigh-in.  What do you take to 'sleep' with you and how is it not only impacting upon your sleep patterns, but your weight???

I'm referencing the one night-stand that sits next to your bed. The stand that you dump the contents of your day onto before you drift off to sleep. The stand that holds your eyeglasses, your meds, your alarm clock, the book(s) you are reading, maybe your laptop, your cell phone, your landline, a pad, a pen or two, your watch, your rings, a glass of water, a glass of wine, your peace pipe, your sex toys, sugary snacks, crunchy snacks, full meals, and maybe a statue of the Buddha. And let's not forget all our sleep paraphernalia, including eye masks, aromatherapy candles, sound machines, sleeping potions and sleeping pills.

What does your one night-stand say about you and about your quality of sleep?
