“Up, sluggard, and waste not life; in the grave will be sleeping enough” Benjamin Franklin. He also wrote: “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

Studies today indicate we may be getting too little sleep rather than too much. A human may need as much as 10 hours of sleep a night. Today fewer are getting even the recommended 8 hours. Busy schedules don’t allow it.

Researchers tell us that sleep deprivation (getting less than at least 6 hours of sleep a night) can increase a person’s likelihood for infection, diabetes, heart disorders, weight trouble and even depression.

Well, I’m not worried about it. Off to sleep I now go!
