Hello
Two questions for you:-
1. Have you been knitting the little hats for innocent's bottles? If so, the deadline for submitting them is drawing nigh! Please get them to me or to your nearest AgeUK centre or shop as soon as possible. Here are some of the ones I have knitted.
2. Did you do anything for Fibromyalgia awareness last week? The Horsham Group celebrated with a meal out. We generated some interest, especially among the staff. We had a good time despite OUR awareness of fibro!

It is no secret that a good night's sleep makes you feel better. Not only does sleep give your body time to rest and recharge, it may also be crucial to your brain's ability to learn and remember.
During sleep, while your body rests, your brain is busy processing information from the day and forming memories. If you are sleep deprived, you are at risk of developing a number of serious health problems, such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, and your ability to learn and retain new information may be impaired.

Coping With Excessive Sleepiness
With more and more of us getting less and less sleep, it’s tempting to reach for a Red Bull or an espresso when we feel sleepy at work. But consuming caffeine to combat sleepiness can lead to a vicious cycle.

How can you stay awake naturally? Try some of these 12 jitter-free tips to take the edge off sleepiness.

Also this week: a study on antivirals for a particular subgroup of ME/CFS, and why I'm doing something rather uncharacteristic when it comes to sleep.
Since sleep (or lack thereof) is about all I can think about these days, I've included tons of information about it down in Featured Articles.
Take care of yourself!

Stress can be highly personal, with one person's unpleasant experience another's exhilarating adventure. And a little bit of stress is thought to be good for memory and motivation. However, about 70% of doctor visits and 80% of serious illnesses may be exacerbated or linked to stress.
Here are 25 ways that stress can affect the body. The good news is that there is much you can do—exercise, meditation, and more—to reduce the impact of stress in your life.

I would like to thank those of you who have sent me kind messages wishing me well. My appointment at St Bart's is at 10am next Friday. Transport is being provided. I hope to produce a blog for next week, but much depends on the outcome of the tests.
