SLEEP!

My husband and I planned a three day destination wedding with events that started Friday night and went straight through until Monday afternoon. Because we were so busy with last minute planning and organizing neither of us slept for the three nights leading up to the wedding. By the time guests started to arrive I was ready to go to sleep and by Monday morning, when all of the adrenaline had worn off, I felt physically ill. You wedding is such an incredible time, and there are so many people you will want to spend time with that you need to be well rested to really enjoy it. Do whatever it takes to get the rest and time off you need leading up to the big day! You will want to remember every moment - an impossible task if you are only half awake.

Reader Comment:
Although many brides opt for a prescription sleep aid - there are a number of natural ways to ensure a good night sleep. The most natural way to sleep is to avoid afternoon caffeine, exercise and practice deep breathing. If that doesn't work, and it never does for me, you can do what I do and take an herbal supplement like Valerian. Works like a charm.
