The Shelton-Mason County Journal in Shelton, Washington, has
an opening for a full-time sports reporter.
We are a family-owned weekly newspaper located at
the foot of the picturesque Olympic Mountains on
Puget Sound.
The ideal candidate will possess strong writing
and photography skills, and feel comfortable
writing game stories, features, personality
profiles and more. We value clarity,
accuracy, creative thinking, organization,
enterprise and storytelling. Working
knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite is
a plus.
The sports reporter will be responsible
for covering three high schools
in Mason County, as well as some
outdoor recreation stories, such as
fishing, hunting, hiking or kayaking.

game stories, you'll write in-depth features, take high-quality photos and maintain
relationships with coaches and players. You'll be in the rain, sun and snow, but your work

high school hallways and work cubicles.
But what good is work if there's nothing to do for fun? Luckily, we're located just
minutes away from hiking, biking, fishing, boating and other recreational opportunities.
We're less than a half hour away from the state capital. We're about 90 minutes from the

Sleep is more important to our
health than many people may
realize. Getting enough rest is
a piece of it, but getting good rest is
the key. If you have ever been curi-
ous about the structure of your
sleep, and how sleep unfolds
throughout the evening, you
may want to learn about a con-
cept called sleep architecture.
Much like regular architec-
ture, sleep architecture refers
to the way that sleep is, well,
"built." The idea of sleep archi-
tecture helps us to understand By JEANNE
the pattern of the various stag-
es of sleep, how these sleep pat- REttWALDT
toms change as we get older,
and what impact sleep disorders may
have on sleep architecture.
According to www.verywell.com,
there are generally four to five differ-
ent sleep cycles during a
and each of the different
from about 90 to
120 minutes. REM
sleep, also known
as Rapid Eye Move-
ment sleep, is the
deepest state of
sleep.
REM sleep is
the state of sleep
where dreams oc-
cur. Consistent
interruptions to
REM sleep can lead
to a host of poten-
tial issues, such as
sleep paralysis. As
we get older, both
the amount and
the quality of our
sleep may change.

Sleep makes you
feeJ better, but its
impo ance goes
way beyonct just
boost ug your mood
or bauisbing uncter-
eye ckcles,
Slow-wave sleep often decreases as we
get older and lighter sleep increases.
As a result of this shift, it becomes
easier to awaken throughout the night
and harder to fall, and stay asleep at
night. As a result, more time may be
spent awake, leading to insomnia, and
a host of other potential problems. Of-
ten, people are then forced to take
naps during the day in order to make
up for lost sleep.
Sleep makes you feel better, but
its importance goes way beyond just
boosting your mood or banishing
under-eye circles. Adequate sleep is a
key part of a healthy lifestyle and can
benefit your heart, weight, mind, and
more.
During sleep you can strengthen
memories or =practice" skills learned
while you were awake.
Too much or too little sleep is as-
sociated with a shorter lifespan -- al-
though it's not clear if it's a cause or
effect. (Illnesses may affect sleep pat-
terns too.)
Inflammation is linked to heart
disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis and
premature aging. Research indicates
that people who get less sleep
-- six or fewer hours a night
-- have higher blood levels of
inflammatory proteins than
those who get more.
In addition to consolidating
memories, or making them
stronger, your brain appears
to reorganize and restructure
them, which may result in
more creativity as well.
A Stanford University
study found that college foot-
ball players who tried to sleep at least
10 hours a night for seven-to-eight
weeks improved their average sprint
time, had less daytime fatigue and
more stamina. (Take note, high school
football coaches out there.)
Children be-
tween the ages
• of 10 and 16 who
have sleep disor-
dered breathing,
which includes
=noring, sleep
apnea, and other
types of inter-
rupted breathing
during sleep, are
more likely to have
problems with at-
tention and learn-
ing, according to a
2010 study in the
Journal Sleep. This
could lead to "sig-
nificant functional
impairment at
school," the study authors wrote.
Sleep has also been shown to
sharpen attention, contribute toward
healthy weight, lower stress levels,
help avoid accidents, and maintain
over all wellbeing.
My take-away message is to give
this body a chance for deep, healthy
sleep by turning off iPads and phones
well before hitting the sack, lowering
light levels in the home in the evening
to mimic the sun. Humans have been
living for cons with the cycles of the
sun, so doesn't it make sense to pre-
pare this body for sleep by dimming
the lights? Try listening to soothing
music or sounds of nature to help relax
the body and prepare it for sleep.
Sweet dreams, friends.
