A Little Bit Before Bed

Get your mind out of the gutter - oh wait that was MY mind...

If you have trouble drifting off, the right bedtime snack may help promote a more restful night's sleep.

In a study, a tryptophan-enriched snack before bed helped study participants sleep better and promoted morning alertness. Foods that provide a dose of tryptophan include bananas, dairy, nuts, eggs, soybeans, tuna, and chicken. Keep the serving size small and have your snack about an hour before bed.

: Name: Cuerpo Aztlan

I'm a Chicano activist and musician that is trying to take care of myself so I can support others. I think self care and mutual aid are important. I realize that to help others I need to be healthy, caring and strong enough to do it! I'm also reclaiming my life as a musician for myself and my children. Music is helping me stay sane! I've also begun writing for La Raza Unida Party at the Bernalillo County La Raza Unida blog.

Quote

"At best, being a warrior gives us an opportunity to transcend the dream of the planet, and to change our personal dream to a dream that we call heaven. Just like hell, heaven is a place that exists within our mind. It is a place of joy, a place where we are happy, where we are free to love and to be who we really are. We can reach heaven while we are alive; we don't have to wait until we die. God is always present and the kingdom of heaven is everywhere, but first we need to have the eyes and ears to see and hear that truth..."
