November 17th, 2011 webkriti

If we manage things the way we’re supposed to, we’ll end up spending a full third of our lives sleeping.  Of course, it doesn’t work that way for most people, who frequently cut into sleep time with work, play, children, and other distractions.  And then there are all kinds of conditions that conspire to keep us awake, from sleep apnea to insomnia to restless leg syndrome.  Yet we all know that getting adequate sleep is important, for a number of reasons (and not just so we can avoid nodding off into a bowl of oatmeal or getting a prod for snoring through the company meeting or a movie).  So here are a few things to think about before you decide to stay up for Leno rather than hitting the hay.
