“I have worked on my sleep hygiene and the time I head to bed. This has dramatically improved my well being. When I head to bed I do it alone and have nearly 30-minutes of solitude before my husband makes his way to join me.”
–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 270 to 271 of 501.
