Marital Talk

This time I’m going to focus on the actual people who are suppose to be in that bed.  The husband and the wife.  Studies show that Caucasian women involved in marital strife will experience sleep problems.  This study isn’t the bottom line and it isn’t necessarily true of women outside he Caucasian woman.  As most of you know, sleep deprivation is a horrible issue.  And, many times women function with sleep deprivation when newborns arrive simply by the fact that men don’t see it is their responsibility. 

And, women will tell you that performing every day tasks while sleep deprived makes even the most simple task of folding laundry impossible.  Well, according to this study authored by Wendy M Troxel, PhD of the University of Pittsburgh, a multi-site study of mid-life women, with an average age of 46 years, 51% Caucasian, 20% African American, 9% Hispanic, 9% Chinese, and 11% Japanese, the subjects reported their marital happiness, sleep quality and frequency of difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep and early morning awakenings.

The results show that higher levels of marital happiness were associated with lesser risk of having multiple sleep complaints but only among the Caucasian women. 

Happily married women had less difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, fewer early morning awakenings, and more restful sleep as compared to unhappily married women.

“Divorced individuals tend to have more sleep problems than those who are married; however, among the married, we know very little about how differences in marital quality may be linked with sleep,” said Dr. Troxel. “The present results show that happily married women have fewer sleep problems than unhappily married women.”

As I said above, sleep deprivation is a horrible thing, and sleep plays a vital role in health and well-being.  So, if you want to keep our wife healthy by allowing her to get the sleep she needs, then make sure she is happy in her marriage.  Sounds simple enough?

Our local paper did an article on my blogging.  I am not one to boast or brag about myself and I was perfectly content knowing that my information would be in the Lifestyles section of the paper yesterday. 

When word came through that the article would instead be front page of Monday’s paper, you know Labor Day, I almost threw up a little bit.  Wow!  I mean, it is Labor Day, right?  And, my article is about how I labor from home, right?  But, man….how fascinating is that?

And, I’m giving you the link, feel free to go check it out, as a matter of fact, I’d love it if you would go check it out.  And, if you have a minute to leave me some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it and I’m sure the writer of the article would as well.

So, I give you Carbon Hill mother makes money from blogging.
