Suggested by Krista:

If there's one thing that makes me feel crappy it's not sleeping enough...therefore I recommend always getting at least six hours of shut-eye!

Eden Godsoe: And don't be afraid to nap if you are someone who can do that. I used to make fun of my father for taking naps on the weekend but I try to do the same if I can possibly squeeze one in.
