7 Surprising Facts About Sleep

Woman's Day:

Can't sleep? You have plenty of company. About half of all adults experience insomnia on occasion, and 1 in 10 battle insomnia on a regular basis, according to the Cleveland Clinic. If you fall into one of those groups, chances are you're already following the tried-and-true rules for a good night's sleep: Don't have too much caffeine (especially late in the day), don't exercise late at night, keep your bedroom at a cool, comfortable temperature, and make sure your bed, pillows and linens are comfy. Those are all good tips, but there are lesser-known things you can try to help you get more rest.

Well that was a useless article! "Go to sleep when your tired" ya right, what if its only 7 at nite ? if you go to sleep then you will wake up in an hour and then you won't be able to get back to sleep until one in the morning. Its happened to me more times then I care to remember. So I just push through it until its time for bed, then I go to bed. This article was just sound byte fluff.

You know what makes people sleep better? Not having them stressed outta their brains about losing their homes, absolute zero job security, and wondering how to make ends meet. There I got it in three steps.

Facts? No. Only for woman or also for man? That's the question. Sleep well.

Those aren't facts; they're seven bits of advice.

And this time, it's Woman's Day's fault. HuffPo just echoed it.

CAN'T ANYBODY WRITE GOOD HEADLINES??

And #7 is "Go to bed when you're tired". Good advice, but hardly surprising.
