HAHA, ironic right? A book on the importance of sleep makes you worry more about your sleep.
Yeah, I appreciated this book a lot too. Have returned to it now and again.
It's hard for an outsider to judge to what extent the claims are OK (I've seen some stuff "debunked" by others, but that's the nature of these things I suppose).
Still, wonderfully illuminating read. Makes me feel less bad about "sleeping in" too; I went to bed too late, body wants/needs it so just let it.

I guess you are referring to this.

yeah, i think deep down, it's not rocket science to know that when we wake up refreshed, we feel better and perform better. for me 8 hours is ideal, 7 is borderline and i will supplement with a nap later in the day
