Those of you sleeping a lot and yet still not feeling rested, get yourself tested for sleep apnea. It’s not just about the quantity of sleep, it’s also about the quality. If you have sleep apnea, you are not getting real sleep.

I believe sleep is really important, but I also believe that sleeping the right time is as important. Sleeping from 10pm-6am is better than sleeping from 5am-12pm (low quality sleep)

Yes! Getting enough sleep is essential. I’m a massage therapist and you wouldn’t believe the problems that lack of sleep can cause. The discs in your back are filled with fluid which depletes throughout the day. The ONLY time the fluid refills is during sleep. Not during rest, dinner, x-box time or anything else.

Funny, I’m in bed by 10 pm every night, and don’t get up until 8-9 am the next morning, and yet, I still have problems. So maybe sleep isn’t the answer for everything.

I’m happy to know that I am not alone in this sleepless life of mine. I have also learned that I create the most interesting works after midnight. I do hate the fact that I get little sleep, and I am not able to function productively during the day. How do you balance that?

There is a great saying, a scientific one, “Rest as much as you want, but you still need to sleep.” Scientist to this day don’t know why people sleep or need to sleep. The above is one of the unanswered question by science, yet. Just to let you know, the activity in the brain is the same, when sleeping, as when we are awake. It’s just a different kind of activity, a different kind of neurons.

Yeah, this is what I’ve always neglected.. Even though I’ve kept hearing about this over and over again. SLEEP.

Thanks for the reminder.

There’s a rule I like to follow.

If you CAN sleep, you NEED sleep.

See, the body cannot sleep too much. It is not physiologically possible, just as one cannot urinate to an excess.

If you wake up in the morning to an alarm clock and feel like turning over back to sleep, rather than jumping out of bed, you have not slept enough.

Keep doing this day after day, and you have built yourself up quite a sleep debt. It can take awhile to pay this off, but the choice to take care of the sleep debt is most worthwhile for your overall health. No matter what health problems you may have, the body itself does the healing, and a properly rested body heals much better.

So remember, “if you CAN sleep, you NEED sleep”.

I learned much of this from Dr. Douglas Graham, whose works can be found at http://foodnsport.com and http://vegsource.com/talk/raw

Best regards.
