40 facts about Sleep you probably didn’t know
This is not a post with full of tips, but it contains some very interesting facts about sleep. Couple of them catch my eyes:
Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you’re sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you’re still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.
I fall asleep in less than five minutes sometimes - Am I sleep deprived?
Dreams may not serve any purpose at all but be merely a meaningless byproduct of two evolutionary adaptations - sleep and consciousness.
Good to know - not all dreams have reasons.
Some sleeping tablets, such as barbiturates suppress REM sleep, which can be harmful over a long period.

My snoring, not sleep apnea, was a problem for the spouse. My wife would often wake me to stop snoring. We found an unexpected solution that has stopped my snoring: The SquidFace and ComfyRest pillows. The snoring relief was an unexpected benefit of an invention I patented for being able to lie facedown comfortably and breathe without turning my head to the side. Snoring relief and many additional pain relief benefits are on my website. http://www.SquidFace.com

I had snoring issues before. As loud as 25 decible. My mom made me move out of the house and bunk with a friend. But now I did exercise and lost 45 pounds of weight. All it was too it!
