We think humans could learn a lot from us kitties on how to relax. We're only 4 years old, so we don't have the experience of getting the best sleep as Morris the Cat. For those of you who don't know him, Morris is the iconic spokescat for 9Lives cat food and has starred in over 50 commercials. Don't you know that all of that work makes for a tired kitty. We're sure he has the best ways to catch a quick catnap between those commercials.

Morris has taken time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about the "impurrtance" of sleep. He's also offering his fans the chance to win a Morris-shaped, human-sized plush bed and a year's supply of 9Lives cat food. Visit his Live Well & Prospurr website to enter.
Dear Morris Advice Column
Dear Morris,
I've been experiencing difficulties with falling asleep, tossing and turning once my head hits the pillow. I don't get it because I feel tired all day at work; then I come home, brush my teeth, flip on the TV, and just... lie there. I'm hoping I can learn from the expert. Morris, what am I doing wrong?
Sincerely,
Sleepless in San Fur-nando (We think this is Mom Paula trying to write in incognito).

Dear Sleepless in San Fur-nando,
Your case, unfortunately, is not all uncommon. When you're going all day long at the speed of a cheetah, it's no wonder your mind darts around like a red laser dot at bedtime. Luckily, as a cat, I spend up to 140 hours per week sleeping and I can tell you there is hope! For starters, as a cat, I notice you mentioned turning on the TV before bed. Cats don't watch TV - this is partly because the majority of us can't speak English that well, but mostly because it interferes with our snooze time. Scientifically speaking, the 'glow' emitted by an electronic screen enters the brain and slows the release of melatonin, the hormone that helps us sleep. So next time you want to turn on the tube before bed, try counting sheep instead - or better yet, mice!
Kitty hugs,
Morris

We think Morris the Cat is pretty smart! Who needs the TV or any other electronic device when you have a purring kitty around to show you how it's done.

This post is in collaboration with 9Lives. We aren't receiving any compensation for our posts, but did receive a Happy Kitty Kit for our collaboration and to host a giveaway. We've blended our comments with those of Morris the Cat for the series on Getting Better Sleep.
Great advice! However we kits all agree that the best sleep you will ever get is when you steal somebody else's sleeping spot. MOL!
ReplyDeleteI get SO much better sleep than the humans do!
ReplyDeleteWe have no trouble falling asleep anywhere. In fact, Ichiro is partially on the desk and partially in the air. We await his fall...
ReplyDeleteMorris gives very good advice.
ReplyDeleteMorris is one smart cat. :)
ReplyDeleteMommy needs sleep tips for sure. She's always complaining she doesn't sleep well.
