Tired? Study Says Americans Need More Sleep
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/OnCall/story?id=4361378&page=1

Caffeine is a staple in office break rooms across the country, pepping up adults who slog through their days feeling drowsy and tired.

Perhaps we all just need a little bit more sleep?

A new study released by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that adults are not getting enough rest each night.

Of those questioned, 70 percent said they had not gotten enough rest or sleep every day of the past month.

1. This is obvious.
And I want to know who in the hell decreed that we all need EIGHT and ONLY EIGHT HOURS of sleep a night to be functional? That idiot didn't understand human variations.

I need ten hours to be truly functional. I can get up and stumble around on eight but I'm not truly functional. In fact, I can sleep for twelve hours and feel rested. And I'm sure lots of other people need more than eight hours too.
