Count your blessings?

Overall, the findings suggest that poor sleep might make it harder for people to count their blessings and value their partners, said study investigator and UC Berkeley psychologist Amie Gordon.

“Poor sleep may make us more selfish as we prioritize our own needs over our partner’s,” she said in a university news release.

What can you do?

“Make sure to say ‘thanks’ when your partner does something nice,” Gordon suggested. “Let them know you appreciate them.”

3. Most pundits would say that singing sensation Chris Brown is his own worst enemy. Yet the beleaguered R&B star, who has been behind bars since 14 Mar and was freed in the early hours of yesterday morning seemed ready to count his blessings and set his life straight. Instead of going out partying, he celebrated his new-found freedom by taking to his Twitter.com page on Monday, admitting he was, “Humbled and Blessed.”

The singer was jailed earlier this year following his dismissal from a court-ordered rehab stint for bad behaviour, which was part of a probation violation case stemming from his 2009 assault conviction for attacking ex-girlfriend, super-star Rihanna. Ironically, just as Chris was trading in his trademark jailsuit for something more civilian-friendly, always fashionable Riri was being honoured with a Fashion Icon award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
