These Simple Steps Can Increase The Quality Of Your Sleep

[SheilaT]

5. Every bit of research about sleep indicates that

we almost all need more than we are getting. Plus, there are too many myths out there about not needing more than some arbitrary number of hours, like 4 or 5, or claims that certain highly creative people never slept much. Thomas Edison was one, but his lab assistants noted that he took lots of naps.

Pushing late into the night is bad only if you are still getting up early the next morning. Those of us who are natural night owls simply get our quota of sleep on a different schedule. I do get very irritated at the sanctimonious morning people who think they are vastly better than those who stay up late, completely overlooking that night-shift types also do valuable work.

I'm likewise convinced that among the reasons I'm as healthy as I am is that I generally get lots of sleep. And no, I don't feel I'm missing anything, because my energy level when I'm awake is quite high.
