Last night, our friend, Carlos, pointed out to me (via a Facebook chat) that lack of sleep has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. His dad has early on-set of the disease. Worrisome! Something about too much plaque in the brain the longer you’re awake. Sleep clears this plaque, but if you’re not getting proper sleep…….. Worrisome, I said!
So tonight, after a night of shopping with Hakimah and the kids (and getting home around 10 p.m.), I am going to dedicate my tired eyes to restful sleep. I’ll finish drinking my tea and then head to my room (well, the room I’m staying in here at Kwasi’s mom’s house), and then turn in early. My brain and beauty will thank me!
