Although many health professionals recommend we get 7-9 hours of sleep each night, few of us are able to follow through on that simple health tip. Our stressful, hectic lives mean we often get to bed far later than we should and wake our weary bodies far earlier than we'd like.
While tonight is all about staying up past midnight, maybe TOMORROW night can be the start of a New Year's resolution to get more--and better--sleep.
Pacific Pillows has provided us with a $50 gift card to give away to help one lucky winner achieve some sweet dreams in 2010.

It's almost 2010! As the Holidays wind down, you can start to really
feel the effects of this last year. A barrage of resolutions can feel
overwhelming sometimes. No need to revamp your entire life; scrub down, whiten up, and get ready to ring in 2010 with a (
mildly) new you!
Here are a few small ways to feel like a New Year's Baby without spending a bundle.

Loose Change
If you're like many Americans, you may not really deal with the Christmas and holiday aftermath until the new year. New presents may not have been put away, decorations might remain up to after the New Year holiday, and holiday greeting cards might line the mantle well into January.
There's no doubt the holiday aftermath can be overwhelming once the holiday glow has worn off and replaced with a healthy dose of holiday consumption guilt. Not to worry.
What follows is an easy guide to help you find the appropriate way to recycle even those unwanted gifts.

Money Saving Tips
It's that time of year again--time to take stock of all the little things that you need to change and hopefully stick with a plan that lasts past January 2nd. Better to look at this as a time of renewal, rather than obsessing about all the things you do wrong. You're much less likely to make these changes if you focus on the negative, rather than the positive. So focus on: I will be better, rather than, I've been terrible.
Just keep in mind that you're not alone. Financial resolutions top the list for most everybody, along with improving physical health. Check out the
top ten resolutions from USA.gov. Managing debt and saving money top the list. If you've got a lot of money, you've got more to manage. If you're struggling, you need to find ways to save. Whatever your situation, right now is a great time to figure out how you can make 2010 be the year of some personal economic recovery.

Shop Smarter
Opening up a new video game is like opening up Christmas presents.
Once you put that shiny new disc in, you never know what you're going
to get. Most of the time you're going to get something that you can
waste hours on and not care because you're going to be entertained. If
you're paying $60 for a game, that better be the case. Sometimes,
however, you get garbage. Pure garbage. Guy and I have decided to let
the rest of the world in on which games of 2009 were worth the cash--and which were trash.
Here are the worst games of 2009:
