Did you wake up tired? Are you stressed out about your finances? The economy? You are not alone. A new study out today suggests one-third of Americans are losing sleep over the economy and their personal finances. According to the National Sleep Foundation's “Sleep in America” poll, those in good health are twice as likely as those in poor health to work efficiently, exercise or eat healthy because they are not getting enough ZZZ's. The poll also found two out of every 10 Americans sleep less than six hours a night.

So what can you do if you are losing sleep over the economy or your personal finances? Here are some tips from the National Sleep Foundation.

1. Try to have a standard relaxing bedtime routine and keep regular sleep times. Make sure your bedroom is dark, cool and quiet.

2. Exercise regularly, but finish your workout at least three hours before bedtime.

3. Avoid foods and drinks high in caffeine for at least eight hours before bedtime, and avoid alcohol for a few hours before bedtime.

4. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex; if you do this, you will strengthen the association between bed and sleep.

1.  Is it safe to make my child a peanut butter sandwich?  The FDA says as of now there is no indication that brand name peanut butter sold in jars at grocery stores is linked to the outbreak.   

2. What about other food made with peanut butter?   Officials say you should throw out foods that have been recalled because they contain peanut butter or peanut paste made by the Peanut Corporation of America.  Peanut paste is found in commercially made products such as cakes, candies, crackers, cookies and ice cream.  The list keeps growing, so it’s important to keep an eye on the FDA’s website.  If you’re not sure about the ingredients in the peanut products you have, FDA officials recommend holding off consuming them.

3.  What about the peanut butter served at schools?  The peanut butter found to contain salmonella bacteria was made by the Peanut Corporation of America.  They make peanut butter for institutional use in places like prisons, schools and nursing homes.  They also produce peanuts for other products.  As a precaution, the Peanut Corporation of America has recalled all peanut butter and peanut paste made in its Blakely, Georgia, plant since January 1, 2007.   That means institutions should no longer be serving it.      

4.  How do I know if I have been infected by salmonella?  According to the Centers for Disease Control, most people infected by salmonella bacteria develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after the infection.  Most people recover without treatment.  However, in some cases salmonellosis, as the infection is called, can be deadly.  The infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream and on to other body parts.  Antibiotics need to be administered immediately.  The elderly, infants and people with impaired immune systems are more likely to get seriously sick.  If you think you may have salmonellosis, go to the doctor immediately.  The doctor can perform lab tests to determine if you have it.  

Early Sunday morning, a little visitor woke me up.  Standing next to my bed in her fluffy pink slippers and princess pj's was my 5-year-old step-daughter.  My husband and I have a strict rule: everybody sleeps in their own bed.  But boy, it's hard to resist snuggling with a beautiful little girl.   So off came the princess slippers and into the bed hopped our little girl.  It was a wonderful way to start the day.

Even though my step-daughter is a big girl. I thought about our little 'snuggle-fest' as I read a report out today in the Journal Pediatrics.  Researchers found the rate of accidental strangulation and suffocation deaths among babies went from 103 in 1984 to 513 in 2004.  In 2003 and 2004, 931 babies died from accidental suffocation and strangulation.  Beds, cribs and couches were reported as the most common places where babies died.  Co-sleeping or bed sharing was reported in over 53% of the cases.

The American Academy of Pediatrics says the safest option for co-sleeping is to use a crib or bassinet next to your bed. But if you choose to sleep with the baby in your bed, experts at the University of Michigan Health Systems say here are some things to keep in mind.

1. Lay baby on his back.  You can let your baby have awake "tummy time" during the day, when an adult is there to watch the baby. "Tummy time" is important for your baby's development and also will help prevent positional plagiocephaly or flattened head.  But remember, it’s “back to bed” for sleeping.

2.  Don't sleep on soft surfaces. Avoid soft surfaces - like waterbeds, pillows, comforters, soft mattresses, beanbags, or couches – when sleeping with your baby. Sleeping on a couch with a parent is associated with a higher risk of infant death

3. Watch the blankets.  Blankets should come to child's chest and be securely tucked on both sides under the mattress. Another option is to dress your baby in warm sleep clothing.  Just make sure she's not burning up.

4. Make sure your bed is baby-safe. There should not be a gap between the mattress and the wall, a side rail, a headboard or footboard, the bed-frame side, or any other furniture. Do not use side rails, headboards, or footboards with slats or cutouts that could entrap the baby's head. Mesh insert side rails are safest.

5. Watch what you are taking. Do not sleep with your baby if you have had drugs or alcohol, are extremely tired, or for any other reason may have reduced awareness of your baby.  Even some prescription and over-the-counter medication, such as pain-killers, antihistamines or sleep-aids can reduce your awareness of the baby.

My family loves peanut butter. Crunchy, smooth, with jam or honey, we can't get enough of it. Heck, even our dog loves it. So last week, when the Food and Drug Administration announced a salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter, I was concerned.

Like many people, I get confused by all the FDA jargon. All I want to know is if my family is safe. So here are a few basic questions answered.

1. Is it safe to make my child a peanut butter sandwich? The FDA says as of Sunday there is no indication that brand name peanut butter sold in grocery stores is linked to the outbreak.

2. What about the peanut butter served at schools? The peanut butter found to contain salmonella bacteria was made by the Peanut Corporation of America. They make peanut butter for institutional use in places like prisons, schools and nursing homes. As a precaution, the Peanut Corporation of America has recalled all peanut butter and peanut paste made in its Blakely, Georgia, plant. That means institutions should no longer be serving it.

3. What about other food made with peanut butter? Officials say for right now, hold off on eating foods that contain peanut butter or peanut paste. Peanut paste is found in commercially made cakes, candies, crackers, cookies and ice cream. The Kellog Co. announced a voluntary recall of 16 products, including Keebler and Famous Amos peanut butter cookies, because they contain peanut butter that could be connected to the Peanut Corporation of America.

4. How do I know if I have been infected by salmonella? According to the Centers for Disease Control, most people infected by salmonella bacteria develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after the infection. Most people recover without treatment. However, in some cases salmonellosis, as the infection is called, can be deadly. The infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream and on to other body parts. Antibiotics need to be administered immediately. The elderly, infants and people with impaired immune systems are more likely to get seriously sick. If you think you may have infected with salmonella, go to the doctor immediately. The doctor can perform lab tests to determine if you have it.

When the news broke late Friday that John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son Jett died, I thought of my parents.

My brother Jonathan drowned when I was a baby and he was toddler. Even though I never knew Jon, he remains a part of my life. During bedtime prayers growing up, we always prayed for "big brother Jon up in heaven with Jesus." Every year on Jon's birthday, my dad still gives my mom a single yellow rose. Some 30 years later, my parents still feel the pain of losing their first born in such a tragic way.

My colleague Madison Park spent the morning talking with families and experts about the emotional toll of losing a child. You can read her story here at CNNhealth.com. We've also been touched by the hundreds of people who have shared on iReport their stories of loss. Click here for some of their stories or to share your own story. These stories of love and loss raise many questions. How do you move forward after losing a child? Does joy ever return? I turned to Dr. Michael Jellinek, chief of child psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital for some insight.

1. It can take years for life to get back to normal When you lose a parent or grandparent, Jellinek says the normal grieving process happens within a year. "Those rules go out the window with children," says Jellinek. Grief can last years, especially if there is unresolved grief from childhood or if the person has a history of depression. So how do you know if grief is out of control? Jellinek says you should become concerned if, after some time, there is still a functional impact on the survivors. For example, they never go out to movies or dinner, or if every holiday becomes a tribute to the dead child.

2. Moms and dads grieve differently According to Jellinek, moms tend to talk and think about the death alot. "They tend to keep it quite active in their day-to-day life,” says Jellinek. After a few months, fathers may make themselves busy, taking on a second job or a hobby. Also, other vulnerabilities may surface. If there's a family history of alcohol abuse, a parent who never had a problem before, may become an alcoholic. "I've seen some parents become so depressed that they don't care about living,” says Jellinek. He knows of one woman whose child was critically ill in the hospital. The mom started driving faster and faster to and from the hospital. "She didn't care if she lived or died," he says.

3. The best thing to do is just be there "I think a lot of people try to do too much too early," says Jellinek, "Being there is a lot more important." The best thing you can do, he says is keep the parent company or be helpful by running errands and making meals. Also, don't force parents to talk about their grief. "It becomes intrusive if you do it at the wrong time," he says.

4. Helping others can help with grief Jellinek says it often helps grieving parents to get involved with a charity or a support group that helps other parents in a similar situation. "It's a way of making something positive out of a tragedy," he says.

Today, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it has made "significant process" in keeping our food supply safe. As you may remember, about a year ago, the FDA launched its Food Protection Plan to protect both domestic and imported food from contamination. The plan came about after a number of high-profile cases including the outbreak of E. coli in spinach in California and the discovery of melamine in food from China. Among its accomplishments, says the FDA, is establishing offices in regions of the world where the US imports lots of food and other FDA-regulated products: China, India, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. The FDA has also OK'd the irradiation of iceberg lettuce and spinach for the control of E. coli. Critics have mixed feelings. "It's a good thing," says Bill Hubbard of the Alliance for a Stronger FDA. But Hubbard adds, "The key thing is if it will be funded."

Food safety is serious business. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 325,000 people end up in the hospital because of food-borne diseases. About 5,000 people die each year. There are things you can do to protect your family. Here are the top tips from the United States Department of Agriculture.

Clean: Bacteria can spread from chopping boards to knives to plates in a matter of minutes. Frequent cleaning is the key. Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds each time you handle food. Make sure you run all cutting boards and utensils through the dishwasher. Also don't forget to clean countertops.

Separate: Cross contamination is how bacteria spreads. Keep raw meat away from food you are about to put on the table. Use different chopping boards for meat and vegetables. At the grocery store, keep raw meat and their juices apart from the other groceries in your cart.

Cook: You may be Rachael Ray in the kitchen, but if you don't cook food long enough, bacteria can survive. Use a food thermometer to make sure meats are done. When cooking food in a microwave, stir and rotate the dish to prevent cold spots. Also, when reheating sauces, soups and gravies on the stove, bring to a boil.

Chill: Bacteria spread fastest at temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so chilling food properly is important. Leftovers and takeout food need to get into the fridge within two hours of eating. Also, food experts say it's a good idea to thaw meat in the fridge and not on the counter.
