Good News for Fellow Insomniacs

Ok, so we don't get enough sleep....

And that's bad! 2-4 hours per night is a little excessive in the sleep deprivation category.

But maybe... with a stretch... we can get it to six hours.

Here's a quote from new study...

"A six-year study Kripke headed up of more than a million adults ages 30 to 102 showed that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate than those who get 8 hours of sleep. The risk from taking sleeping pills 30 times or more a month was not much less than the risk of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, he says."

So come on! We can do it! Stretch it out! Sleep just a couple of more hours! What are you reading this for? Go to sleep!!!!

And for you others out there... Wake up! It'll do you good!
