Sleeping
Well, my sleep schedule is not much better now than it has been for the last few weeks. I have been getting enough sleep to function well, but the scheduling part of it is not sticking. We'll see where it goes.
The good news is that I am likely to live longer than those of you who sleep for 8 or more hours each night. My brother linked to a story about a 6-year study of 1 million people called the Cancer Prevention Study II. The study shows that people who sleep 8 hours or more each night are more likely to die [Update: likely to die sooner — thanks, Derek!] than people who sleep less (like 6-7 hours). Actually, insomniacs and other people who sleep only 3.5 hours each night are even more likely to live longer.

The various musings and kvetchings of a Torah-observing, eBook-editing, wife-adoring, baby-loving ger. Everything from Torah study to technology is fair game.

I'm pretty sure we are all equally likely to die.
We short sleepers will live longer, as long as we don't drive much. Or operate heavy machinery, etc. I can feel the vitality just coursing heavily through my eyelids. I have to rest my left eye now. Nice story.
