I don’t know what it is about getting older and not sleeping. It truly makes me crazy. No, seriously I feel like a hungover zombie without the whole party all night like a rockstar. Three, four, sometimes five nights in a row with light, I toss and turn sleep is enough to make you lose your mind. It doesn’t happen every week, but there are weeks when I really struggle to sleep.

Last week I was a mess. I called the guy in the middle of the night complaining. He told me to come over, claiming I would sleep better with him which is generally true but not this night. I was my horrible self. I kept him up all night too. The only thing I can think of is I haven’t been taking my magnesium consistently.

Last year I started taking magnesium to help me relax which helped tremendously. I even got the guy hooked on it now! When we started dating, he was a light sleeper and snored horribly. I truly wondered if I could keep dating him because his snoring was terrible.

Once I started him on magnesium though, it got SO MUCH BETTER. He hates his snoring so that’s how I’ve gotten him to be consistent about taking it. Hey, whatever works! As a side note, 80% of people are magnesium deficient and don’t know it.

All this to say, sleep is a privilege. When you get it, you cherish it. Because let me tell you, when I don’t get it, I’m one big cranky pants and all I want to do is eat chocolate. It’s like PMS on steroids. Not pretty. So this week I’m committed to taking my magnesium every night so I can be bearable to be around and be committed to eating well.

Sriracha Parsley Chicken Burgers

Whipped up these Sriracha Parsley Chicken Burgers on a whim the other day. Truly bought the ground chicken at Sprouts with no clue what I was going to do with it. Got home and somehow it turned into Sriracha Parsley Chicken Burgers, and what a meal it was!

Cooked mine on my trusty grill pan, served between roasted sweet potatoes with all the toppings. Made such a quick, flavorful and easy meal!
