Sleep Soothes

I just read an article worth sharing in Science Daily:

Dreaming Takes the Sting out of Painful Memories

The article illustrates the benefits of dreaming in people with post-traumatic stress. It explains how dreaming allows a person to reexperience a stressful event without the interference of stress neurochemicals. This effect takes the edge off trauma, and we wake up better able to cope.

I love that there is now science to prove how very important sleep is to caregivers and others who experience PTSD.  Happy snoozing and sweet dreams!
