Announcement & Launch of:
#Year_of_The_Sleeper (C)2017
DateLine: 12-14-2017 - 8:40 AM CST
Well, she said it all.
Millions of People will be shocked and saddened that 1 of our Fave All-Time Female Anchors gets only 4 hours of sleep per night.
That's 4 Hours of Sleep per Night.
True, she is on an early shift at a mighty terrific Job at a top station and she's a Mom with a Family to care for, but this is appalling.
Therefore, as
"America's Premier Eventologist"
& Creator of 1900+ Holidates (defined as Goodwill, Humanitarian, Altruistic, Educational, Recreational, Fun-Time & Fun-Type Holidates) derived from the Two Terms:
Holidays + Dates = Holidates
the Launch of the #Year_of_The_Sleeper is for:
GAYLE KiNG
& so many others...
who may not be in the Anchors' Seat, but then again YOU ARE as We are all the #Commander of our own #Yachts - Boats - Kayaks, Rowboat etc.
Who inspired this? At The Core is Matthew Walker, Author of a new 2017 Release (Book) called:
WHY WE SLEEP.
Had that been my Book, I may have called it:
WHY WE DON'T SLEEP
OR
OR
WHY WE DON'T SLEEP (enough)
AS THE SPIRAL UNRAVELS OUR LIVES:
As a Gal who lives with a Man who "barely" sleeps, I know that I, too, am suffering because of his Battle with Sleep Deprivation. Because I don't sleep (that very well) when he doesn't. Oh, I do sleep and pull about 7 Hours a Night because I believe in taking care of myself (no matter what The Odds), but I cannot help but hear each of his Noises when he is up and prattelling around the Apartment.
This disturbs me. It's far from the pitter patter of #Cali, our #Calico Cat's Footfalls.
Therefore, a year-long HOLIDATE as this is designed to instill and embed what is best for YOUR WELFARE... in order to instill The FACT that SLEEPING needs a FACELIFT as Mr. Walker stated - is needed.

Keep a Sleep Diary on your Flashdrive; in a Notebook and enjoy an Occasional Sleepover with Friends. Any Act that helps you obtain a Good Day or Night's SLEEP is worth its Weight in StarDust. Pleasant Dreams now. Say good-bye to burnout which does take its toll. I'm sure there's a Set Number of Years that are subtracted from one's life IF they do not get sufficient SLEEP. To find this and more NEWS on the Positives & Repercussions of no Sleep , merely:
Read Mr. Walker's Book, found online at:
AN EXCERPT from the above Website reads as:
Why We Sleep
Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
By Matthew Walker
A New York Times Bestseller: The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert—Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep.

JUST IMAGINE: No Sleep. Causes Accidents on the Road when a Person momentarily nodds off;
causes crankiness; takes its TOLL on you.
Begin the New Year by being good to yourself by getting a #GOOD_NIGHT's_SLEEP from this Point on.
OR should I've stated in the Name & Title of this Holidate:
YoTAS: Year_of_The_Active_Sleeper (C)2017
ReTitle as of Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017 - 3:16 PM CST
as sleeping has its Negative Side to it. That a Person is sleeping their Life away; that being dormant is not being creative and productive. However, as a Layman I've read that Sleeping is a period in which the Brain sorts thru all the Detritus We Humans pick up during the Day and if that is not infiltrated and sorted through, that's when the Troubles begin; many that may harm us in our Day & Age. Just assuming...as I know I'm no good to myself, anyone or any project when I'm sleepy, tired or plain exhausted.
I cannot help but think of Cali, My Calico who sleeps quite a bit. Supposedly 70% of her Life lies in dormancy but we happen to keep each other up quite a bit by playing Games. However, because of the Naps she takes, CATS are known for having 9 Lives. They may be sleeping on something we Humans have yet to explore: The Wonders of Sleep and Naps...
So let's explore The Wonders of Sleeping as a New Year begins. Keep a Journal so that you know where you've started and then can compare and analyze what is happening in your Body, Mind and Spirit...with a Professional if the need so arises. I'm excited about this Holidate as R&R: Rest & Relaxation is something I've looked forward to for a very long time...
Turn off the Lights and...take it from there.

Wisdom of The Crowd speaks outloud:
Gayle, you're great on The Job and at your Job; fabulous doing all those Interviews. You've secured your Place in Broadcasting History, now take a well-needed Nap so your Viewers won't worry about YOU! Role Models are to do that, you know.
IN CLOSING:
No matter what your Age;
No matter what your BioRhythms may be or be NOT;
No matter what your BioRhythms may be or be NOT;
No matter what your Schedule demands;
No matter what Pressures you self-apply (that's another Blog's worth you must realize); and
No matter what Pressures you self-apply (that's another Blog's worth you must realize); and
No matter what your Matters & Issues may be or may not be;
get some Rest. It's good for you. That's the Bottom Line.
Ever wonder why Bears sleep and are dormant for such a long Period.
Sleep is Nature's Way. Don't mess with Mother Nature and The Forces thereof.
Sleep lengthens and fortifies (y)our Life in so many enriching Ways. You (and others) will like yourself much better when rested and healthy. You'll be setting fresher Examples for those about you who will wonder: What happened...just overnight...a complete Makeover on a few extra Hours of well-needed Sleep.
As things have it, wouldn't it be quite pleasant if this Blog put you to sleep; then I'd know that it did its Job; a mission impossible that many of us cannot succeed at.

PreDawn in Chicago: Saturday, December 16, 2017
Rising at 4:15 AM, most of
you would think I should have slept in longer & I agree but what I have found
the last 64 years is that I do my best and better work around the Time I popped
out of the Womb – at 4:45 AM. Therefore,
I automatically awaken to find that LIFE ONLINE does not sleep at all. @Catifornia, one of my Friends on Twitter
themed SLEEP in their Tweets to I had to jump on into the Conversation with the
3 Tweets below that were sent:

Needless to say, I heard back
from them in California and they agreed with me, Social Media does infringe on
and upon the Quality & Amount of Sleep We get or DON’T get. To plug-in or
unplug, that is the Question. However as bonafide CatLovers & Humans of THE CAT, we owe it to them to get up when they are up and snap those CuteCat_Photos we constantly see on the Net. For that we will FURever be grateful that we are "Light Sleepers" but Sleepers @ that.

When a Cat sleeps.
Cali My Calico is the Model here.
Do you not understand why Cats have 9 Lives?
With all that R&R: Rest & Relaxation they have all of that Time on their Sides.
And, Cali My Calico can sleep anywhere at any Place.
Wherever that #Lo_CAT_ion may B
Even on a Windowsill in a High-Rise.
In a major City during Rush Hour.
But the Best Place is when Cali My Calico
"The CEO of My Heart"
is cuddled in my Arms
Sleeping & Purring away contently.
That's a Piece of Delight few get to exPURRience
but We wish they could.
