Its no longer news that today is Fathers day. A day set aside to celebrate our fathers and potential Fathers.
Personally fatherhood hood has changed my life for the better. I will itemize the ways fatherhood has changed me
1. Sacrifice: we know that the nation is going through a difficult time. This has impacted on our families as inflation has eroded our spending powers. This made the economic concept "alternative forgone" more prominent. Most times I give up on what I want to ensure my baby gets the best I can afford.
2. Spending more time at home: I now spend more time at. I make conscious effort to leave work on time to get home on time to spend more time with my baby. Read books to her (even though she is like 4 months), I observe she likes it when I read children books to her. This huge smiles on her face reveals that.
3. Develop my reading culture: I now spend most of my time reading books on fatherhood, family building, making money etc as fatherhood demands all these.
4. Appreciate my wife more: For the pains, sacrifices, and all that pertain to motherhood my wife has been through to bear me a child, I appreciate her more. My love for her has increased and I cant wish a better wife.
5. Improved relationship with God: I realized that fatherhood is not easy task. We all need God to see us through.
Peeps please feel free to shares yours and let's make fatherhood a venture that is worthwhile.
No more wasteful spending. D thought of school fees alone will make any responsible father humble. Since we want d best for our children. This has gr8ly changed me a whole lot. Fatherhood is fun when u start seeing ur kids grow. God bless our children!

360metrosports: Sleeping seems like such an unremarkable event, but there is so much more to sleep than we realize. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 interesting things that happen when you sleep.
You Sleep in Stages
When you first fall asleep, you typically have a sleep cycle that starts with the NREM (non-rapid eye movement) stage, before you progress into a deeper NREM 2 and then NREM 3 (also called slow wave sleep). You finally land in the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, which is the stage most of your dreams occur. All these stages happen between 90 to 120 minutes, after which you wake up for like a second (most times without even realizing it) and then begin stage 1 again.
Your Body Temperature Drops
This is why it’s so easy to fall asleep when in a cool room or after a cool shower. This coolness actually mimics what your body is doing naturally, making it easier for you to immediately sleep off, because while you sleep your core temperature drops. In addition, during the REM stage of your sleep, your body is unable to thermoregulate, so if you get cold, your body won’t shiver to build up inner warmth, until you’re awake.
You’re Temporarily Paralyzed
But only for a few minutes - like 20 minutes. This paralysis usually happens during the REM stage (where most of your dreams occur). It’s what sometimes prevents you from acting out your dreams. So you might be an action hero in the dream world, jumping up and down, fighting here and there, but in the real world you’re curled up on your side, sleeping like a baby. However, the paralysis doesn’t last for very long.
Your Body Regulates Hunger Hormones When You Sleep
This is why you feel hungry when you wake up after having poor quality sleep. Unfortunately, you tend to eat higher- calorie foods when you feel this hunger, leading to weight gain. Hunger-regulating hormones are unable to work as they should when you don’t sleep well, this is why sleeping well is recommended for those who either want to keep fit or lose some weight.
Hypnagogic Jerk
This is the feeling of falling you get as you’re falling asleep or sometimes when you’re even asleep. Sometimes you can start dreaming before your body has reached the REM stage, and these jerks might occur then, in response to you acting out a dream of falling on or tripping over something. Hypnagogic jerks are more likely to happen when you’re overtired, sleep-deprived or stressed, when your brain can aggressively enter into sleep cycles before your body has had a chance to catch up.
