But sometimes, when you can't just lay down for a nap, try this little trick: DRINK WATER. Yes, simply drink water. Getting dehydrated is very easy to do, especially in winter when the heat is on. Tiredness is often a sign of a mild dehydration. So try this little trick, and it certainly cannot hurt you, can it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1142783599128732172006-03-19T17:53:00.000+02:002006-03-19T17:53:00.000+02:00If you continue to require an inordinate amount o...If you continue to require an inordinate amount of sleep, have your thyroid checked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1142730991042342432006-03-19T03:16:00.000+02:002006-03-19T03:16:00.000+02:00Hi Lene, I bet you're coming down with something. ...Hi Lene, I bet you're coming down with something.

I had 4 boys already, and since Mary,I have just had boy #5 and he is the reason this 43 year old mommy of 6 (ages 24,20, 17, 12, 6, and now 3 months) is sleepy and never gets to knit! My sock yarn just arrived via the 20 year old bringing home some Bonkers Yarn www.bonkersfiber.com<BR/>from Lawrence, Kansas. I will try to make hiking socks for my Sockapalooza pal. I dont have time for those small needle socks these days. Anyway, the lower carb idea will probably help you! Have a great day! I love ready your blog!

The Lopi trick was darn clever... I was trying to sew with létt-Lopi the other day, and although I managed, it did get scarily thin towards the end. Voi voi, I wish I could spin (I still have to sew the sleeves on a létt-lopi sweater).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1142691332899575072006-03-18T16:15:00.000+02:002006-03-18T16:15:00.000+02:00This sweater is just beautiful.

I almost never knit with it because of the splitting and breaking. I am going to go get some now and practice drop spinning it now. You are so clever, I learn so much from you. <BR/>Oh and also; have you seen the 'Longgies' in Elizabeth Zimmermann's "Knitters Almanac"? That pattern reminds me of your knitted woolen's from your Mom. <BR/>Yikes! a knitted woolen bathing suit! I am so glad we live in this time period and have spandex now. :) <BR/>Oh I felt that way awhile back were no matter how much sleep I got I was still tired all time. I went to the Dr. and she discovered my thyroid wasn't working right. Maybe if you don't feel better after awhile you might want to go see the Dr. <BR/>P.S. I am not sure if I am going to read Moll Flanders yet. Although it would be fun to knit some baby things for Moll's Baby if I do read it. :)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149401855790439497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1142638421723543752006-03-18T01:33:00.000+02:002006-03-18T01:33:00.000+02:00What a brilliant idea, to spin some twist into the...What a brilliant idea, to spin some twist into the Lopi!
