When you sleep well, you wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and renewed. You’re up feeling recharged and ready to take on the world. So when it does happen, make the most of it.
They don’t call it, “Sleep like a baby,” for nothing.
This newborn demonstrates what it truly means to sleep like a baby. The baby girl rises and stretches her way into the day.
She’s a beautiful, cuddly mass of wrinkly fresh baby love.
Her parents couldn’t be more pleased. It’s been six days since they were blessed with a new member of the family. These are the joys of parenthood and mom’s reward for going through nine months of pregnancy.
The best way to enjoy them is to stay present, as these days will quickly disappear.
Blink and she’ll be graduating from college. Good thing dad has YouTube to keep the memories for years to come. It’ll be a long time before boys come knocking.
She’s got such striking facial expressions.
She’s not only stretching her arms and legs but all of her facial muscles as well. She’s definitely getting ready to get milk drunk.
If you watch closely you might see some of those newborn reflexes. According to What to Expect …
“Perhaps the most noticeable of her newborn behaviors will be those built-in reflexes that come standard issue to all newborns, including the all-important rooting reflex (when her cheek is stroked she’ll turn in that direction), which helps baby locate the breast or bottle, and the sucking reflex (nature’s way of ensuring baby gets those feeds at the breast or bottle).”
In the article, “How to Sleep Like a Baby,” Good Housekeeping says to create a routine. This can involve winding down for at least thirty minutes before you plan to get into bed, which helps signal your brain it’s time for sleep.
Another tip for sleeping like a baby is to get some sun. Sunlight sets our internal clocks so we know it’s time for bed when the sun is on the other side of the planet.
Good Housekeeping suggests working out early in the day. Raising your heart rate right before bed doesn’t help bring your body to rest when you need it. Morning exercise guides your body to better sleep at night.
If none of those work, go to the liquor store.
Another tip from the article is to watch what time you eat …
“When you eat, gravity is your friend — it helps pull the food toward your stomach for digestion. However, if you chow down on a huge meal right before bed, and then lie down to sleep, the results may be painful (think acid reflux).”
Youtubers are going gaga over this little cuddle bunny …
“Newborns have the best facial expressions ever!!! So precious and vulnerable.”
Some have even determined what the little girl might be saying …
“Such facial expressions at that age, especially the face of REALLY DAD can’t a girl get some beauty sleep around here?”
Whatever helps you sleep like a baby, keep at it. Then take your cue from this adorable tiny one on how to wake up below!
