“Sleeping well is the best
productivity tool” Jason Fried

“You should meditate for twenty
minutes every day — unless you’re too busy. Then you should meditate for an hour.” Zen proverb

Humans spend an average of
25 years sleeping over the course of a lifetime.

Parents of newborn babies miss
out on roughly 6 months of sleep during the baby’s first 2 years of life.

The record for the longest
period without sleep is 11 days.

The average person in France
sleeps 8.83 hours a night — the most in the developed world.

Sleeping less than 7 hours
each night reduces life expectancy.

Believing that you’ve slept well
improves performance, even if you didn’t get that much sleep.

Studies show that students at
schools with later start times perform better.

You burn more calories while
sleeping than you do while watching television.

Women experience more nightmares than
men.

In general, exercising regularly makes
it easier to fall asleep and contributes to sounder sleep. However, exercising sporadically or right before going to bed will make falling asleep more difficult.

We naturally feel tired at
two different times of the day: about 2:00 AM and 2:00 PM. It is this natural dip in alertness that is primarily responsible for the post-lunch dip.

Lack of sleep can cause
people to gain about 2 pounds a week.

People who don’t get enough
sleep are more likely to have bigger appetites due to the fact that their leptin levels (leptin is an appetite-regulating hormone) are lower.
