Sleep, It Does a Family Good
-How Busy Families Can Overcome Sleep Deprivation
People today are sleep-deprived, and nowhere are the negative effects felt more acutely than in families.

In this book, best-selling author Arch Hart explores why sleep is so important, what happens when family members are chronically sleep deprived, and how families can start developing healthy sleep habits.

Moon's Soft Beams
Now 'mid shadows deep
Falls blessed sleep,
Like dew from the summer sky;
And the whole earth dreams,
In the moon's soft beams,
While night breathes a lullaby.

Eight Hours
For disappearing acts,
it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours
supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work.

Dream Clouds
The dream clouds came
and whisked me away
to set sail in the winds to a

The Mind at Night: The New Science of How and Why We Dream
Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams?
Why are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotions?
Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve problems?
Are the universal dream interpretations of Freud and Jung valid?
Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright light on our nocturnal journeys and tells us what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours.

Now the Day is Over
Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
~ Stay Awake by The Innocence Mission

Dreaming
I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open....
...and I'll do my looking back with my eyes closed.
