Well, sleep is at it again while giving us the ins and outs of older and useful information as well as newer and useful information. This information on sleep comes at a good time of the year as changes occur in our bodies an din the environment. Even professional athletes must pay more attention to proper sleep since they are involved in post-season playoffs and title hunts.
By the way, I have the Montreal Canadiens coming out of the NHL Eastern Conference and the San Antonio Spurs coming out of the NBA Western Conference.
Our neighbors to the north Midwest in Green Bay, Wisconsin may get the most sleep or attempts at slobbering out of any other metro area. Since it is still international month with TEEM, supposedly, France may receive the most sleep. C'est la vie, I guess. In any case, I am a proponent of afternoon naps. They are needed. Adults definitely miss out on 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Actually, most adults miss out on that sleep range. So, why not sleep during the middle of the day for about 20 minutes? I remember matriculating to first grade as a six-year-old and thought, "Man, no more naptime?"
Highly disappointed, but I adjusted.
Then, college arrives.
Now, sleep is like a hot commodity. It is like gold and a sale at Whole Foods because you just want to get it. Which reminds me. I need some sleep right now!
For more sleep deprivation information, check out the CDC's (Centers for Disease Control) report on slumbering.
