Do You Get Enough Sleep Time Every Day?
I am questioning my routine of waking up at 2 am every day to work on my blog. I do start out my time praying to the Lord, admittedly, I need to read His Word more.

Last year, when MNN blogger Michael d'Estries found himself on the losing end of a Fitbit challenge he was competing in with friends, he walked around his neighborhood until the late hours of the night in 10-degree windchill to gain extra steps. Little did he know that all he needed was an electric saw and he could have won that challenge without taking a single step in the cold. Until recently, I had no idea fitness tracker cheating was even possible. But in a world where fitness tracking and health data sharing has become the norm, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. We've become so competitive about our exercise that even when...
