Go to bed angry... it's OK

Categories: Motivation

You've heard that old phrase "never go to bed angry," right? It never seemed reasonable to me. Maybe I'm too hot-headed, but I just couldn't imagine being married and never going to sleep upset at my husband. Heck, there are days that I'm annoyed or angry with my son and we don't end the day on a good note. It's amazing how a night's sleep can wash away bad feelings.

According to an article on Revolution Health, it's OK to go to bed angry once in a while. If you think about it, staying up for hours on end talking over everything you're annoyed about could actually be counterproductive at times. Sometimes calmer heads will prevail in the morning after having a good night's sleep.

The article also recommends sleeping in the same bed as you usually do, even if you're angry. If you're up to it, you can even try making love. So what if you're a bit angry? Turn the energy into something a bit more fun than fighting. Also, sometimes it's necessary to agree to disagree. Stating something like "I'm angry with you right now, but I love you very much" can help put a temporary stop to an unresolved argument. For more healthy relationship tips, see AOL Health.
