Subject: Sleep, glorious sleep! Could be common knowledge, but my sleep has GREATLY improved, so I thought I'd share, cause good rest is important! I recently learned that the average sleep cycle runs approximately 90 minutes. Having had a TON of problems lately with waking up with the alarm and feeling like I'd not slept a whit, I started setting my alarm for whatever multiple of 90 minutes was closest to when I needed to be up. WOW. I can't begin to describe what a difference this has made in my sleep. I'm now usually waking up naturally between 5-15 minutes before the alarm, or when the alarm does go off, I feel like I've really gotten a decent night's sleep because I'm not waking up in the middle of my sleep cycles.
