MEMORABLE QUOTE
"When your child who hasn't been sleeping for months, years, starts to sleep, it saves marriages. It makes you better at your job. If you're working outside of the home, it makes you a better parent. It transforms your life." - Kim West
"We forget
that while we're sleeping, really important things are happening.
It's cleaning out detoxing, and it's working on memory retention,
storage, and organization." - Kim
