The Great Sleep Divide

A very interesting article here about the epidemic of sleep deprivation affecting nearly everyone these days (although moreso in poorer and communities of color).

It has been years (not exactly sure of the date, but it was in the old house) since I woke up feeling completely refreshed and full of energy. In fact, it was such an outlier I made a point of telling Ben!

It seems that even when I have the opportunity to sleep in later than usual, my body always wakes itself up after six and a half to seven hours. In those instances when I do manage to fall back asleep after that amount of time, my sleep is generally riddled with nonsensical nightmares and I wake up more tired than if I’d just gotten up to begin with.
