If you should be sleeping right now in order to get 8 hours of sleep, then stop reading this now and go to bed, seriously, it’s not worth it. Otherwise, continue on and hopefully realize sleep is sooooo important for your overall mental and physical health as well as an important aspect of maintaining a healthy weight.
I recently came across a documentary by National Geographic about sleep and health and it is excellent. Therefore, I thought I would spread the word. Click on the title to go watch it.
Additionally, as some of you know Matt and I dedicated a whole chapter to sleep in our first book. Watching this video spurred me to make a few changes to that chapter, likely more revisions will be made soon, and upload that chapter to this site. You can go to The Book page or click on the following link.
Another good resource for sleep information is the National Sleep Foundation as well as the NIH site on sleep.
