I Hope everyone enjoyed a great Christmas and are ready to ring in a brandy New Year this week! I found this article very interesting and thought I'd share with this group --> my sleeping patterns have certainly changed and continue to change since my AVM rupture back in February, 2011. I went from not being able to do anything but sleep early in my recovery to now being even more of a night owl I once was .... but it's all good because I'm so very Grateful my feet hit the ground each & every morning :-)!
Thank you much for bringing this info ... this one is clear / easy to read... and, has the great references...
