Do
you ever have days where you feel like you're "in the zone,"
and think to yourself, wow! If I could be sharp and on the ball
like this everyday, I'd be so much more productive. Well, sleep
may have more to do with that feeling that you'd realized. For
some reason, our generation seems to ignore the importance of
sleep, and perhaps even frowns upon individuals who get "too
much" sleep. Some brag about how they're so busy they only
got 5 hours of sleep the night before. In fact, a recent poll
conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, a nonprofit group
in Washington, D.C., found that, on average, most adults sleep
less than seven hours a night during the workweek, despite the
fact that the average adult needs about eight hours of sleep per
night. In fact, before the turn of the century, between nine and
ten hours a night was the norm. Click here for the rest of the story.

of space between the top bar and the rider's crotch when the rider
straddles the bike with both feet flat on the ground.

| Sleep Solutions - The
Power of Naps - By Sue Sarko |
| What
do Albert Einstein, JFK, Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan and Bill
Clinton have in common? They all believed in napping, and, as it
turns out, the all had the right idea.
The
body's circadian rhythm, or internal clock, dips naturally in
the afternoon, generally between 12:00-2:00. Evidence shows that
the brain actually falls into a lull, indicating that the propensity
to nap is actually inborn. Further substantiating this belief
is that most people can drop off quickly and sleep deeply during
this portion of the afternoon than other times of the day.
