Does sleep affect my mood?

Stop, Drop and Sleep

Another all-nighter? No problem -- you'll just sleep on the weekend. Unfortunately, sleep doesn't work like that. Sleep debt, like credit card debt, is difficult to pay off -- and credit card debt is what you work to avoid. Your finances will suffer if you don't sleep. We recommend that you set a bedtime, stay off the computer, drink milk, and take a natural mood support sleep inducer. While you may get success from Lunesta, you might want to try valerian root and hops as natural mood enhancers that help you sleep. L-tryptophan in milk or in capsule form can help too -- it's that amino acid in turkey that makes you fall asleep on Thanksgiving. Speaking of amino acids, don't forget DL-phenylalnine. You may not be able to sleep because you're anxious. St. John's wort can help, as can increased serotonin production -- 5 HTP assists in serotonin production. When you're well rested, you'll be more efficient, and if you set a regular daily routine, you'll be financially healthy as well as physically and mentally healthy.
