I first saw this video on Facebook – posted by a friend.  Funny.  Had to re-post here – to share with you.

Berry Sleepy

Everyone knows that having a newborn baby in the house = no sleep. When you’re only getting a few hours of sleep at night, it eventually takes it’s toll.  Not only do you become forgetful, clumsy and crabby, but it’s hard on the brain and body in the long run too.

Even once the kids are sleeping through the night (no more 2:00am feedings – yay!) they still might give out a brief cry or make a noise that wakes you during the night. And once in awhile they may have a bad night and just not sleep well. Which means you don’t sleep well either.

After my kids go to bed at 8:00pm, that’s my time to get work done or run errands. Some nights, I just keep going and going – trying to get as much done as I can.  Suddenly, it’s midnight and now I have to quickly quiet my mind and try to get some sleep! But what if it takes me an hour to get to sleep? And add to that – what happens if I get woken up at 2:00 or 3:00am by one of the kids or troublemaker Pixie? Will I get back to sleep? I’ve had those nights where I get woken at 3:00am and I don’t fall back to sleep until 5:00am. Ugh.  Not a good feeling.

Even on nights I’m really, really tired and I fall asleep early, I still have the issue of getting back to sleep if I get woken in the middle of the night.

I started talking to my friends about sleep aids they were taking and what was working for them. I needed something to help me fall asleep fast and help me easily get back to sleep if woken.  But I really didn’t want to take anything that had bad side effects,  was addictive, contained chemicals or made me feel groggy in the morning.

Thankfully, I was introduced to Berry Sleepy (invented by a family with two little ones like me).  And it’s just fruit! Isn’t that amazing? That’s all it is. It’s all natural. If someone told you “Just eat this piece of fruit at night and you’ll fall to sleep faster, get back to sleep quicker if woken during the night and you’ll wake up feeling relaxed.” Wouldn’t you eat that piece of fruit?

Go to the Berry Sleepy website and check it out for yourself.  They even offer a 110% guarantee.  So if it doesn’t help you get better sleep, you can return the bottle within 45 days of purchase for a 100% refund plus an extra 10% as a gift.  Ha!  Now THAT is a guarantee!

I started taking it a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Not only do I fall asleep faster, but I can get right back to sleep after one of my kids or the dogs wakes me. And the bonus part, is that when I wake up in the morning, I feel calm and relaxed. I feel like I had a relaxing night of sleep instead of a jaw clenching, teeth grinding night of sleep.  It’s a lovely thing to wake up and start the day feeling good.

Like I’ve said before – sleep is important – everyone’s all smiles after a good night’s sleep.  And I need a lots of energy to chase these two cuties around all day!

Usually when watching videos on the internet, I can’t wait for the commercial to be over so I can watch the video. But once in awhile the ads are so good, I don’t mind them at all. Then there was this one. I wasn’t paying attention at first and I only caught the end of it. I literally went searching for this commercial on youtube so I could watch it again. Good advertising.
