Don't underestimate the power of sleep. Just because you can't do it, shouldn't be a reason to pull on a constant all nighters. Your body rejuvenates itself when sleeping. Good night!

berbar Sleep? What's That? I get about 4 hours of sleep a night, not because I don't want to, but because I can't. Does take a toll on your body after awhile. Sleep Well!

When im so upset and crying so much i dont even feel hungry and cant even eat because if i do it feels as if im going to throw up. Yes i know eating must be done to stay healthy, but why eat when your body doesnt even seem hungry?...

berbar If you're really upset, don't eat anything, but try a comforting drink,like hot cocoa, tea, warm milk, or a glass of wine. It will not only soothe the body, but also comfort you.

berbar First of all, you will never forget losing your father. He is however always with you, and I am sure he would want you to live a happy life and remember the good times that you have shared with him rather than dwelling on the loss of him. As for your...

berbar As a mother of 5 children, I have spent countless nights snuggling up my children. Here's what I do if they have the flu. If they are throwing up, I always put my hand on their forehead, to not only comfort them, but it also cools their head at the same time....

berbar I think it all depends on what you are comfortable with. As for me, I wear makeup all the time, ever since I ran into an old class mate looking like I just crawled out from underneath a rock. LOL!
