I’ve never been a sound sleeper. I had trouble with it even as a kid, always wanting to stay up later. I don’t seem to be on the 24 hour cycle of this planet, with my sleep schedule always fluctuating. Was I I’m going to do some research on sleep and some new sleep devices / tech that are supposed to help you measure, track and ultimately improve your sleep habits. For now, here’s 8 sleep “myths” debunked:

Myth 1: There’s no such thing as a beauty sleep.
Myth 2: Reading or watching TV relaxes you so you can nod off.
Myth 3: We need less sleep as we get older.
Myth 4: Beer or wine before bed helps you sleep.
Myth 5: If you wake up during the night, relax until you fall asleep.
Myth 6: Taking prescription sleeping pills is a path to addiction.
Myth 7: Your brain rests during sleep.
Myth 8: The more sleep, the better.

If I lived on Neptune, where days are 16 hours, I think I’d enjoy staying up all night and sleeping every second night. Until then, I’ll see what I can learn here on Earth. 🙂

Bonus: I actually laughed out loud. Fantasy stereotypes hold true through the ages..
