Everyday Experiments

I've written zilch in the last 3 months. 3 months of sleepless nights, drowning in report after report, spewing out graph after figure after paper. I guess this is how my brain should feel like right now:



I think I'm going on a loooong needed (and deserved!) vacation right now. Preferably in a cold, dark cave where I can sleep undisturbed until Christmas :-p

…try sleeping between 2 and 6 am. Here’s why:

In 2003 a team of researchers with Stanford’s School of Medicine decided to look into sleep times and its effect on sleep-deprived people (like you and me). Now, we all know that everyone, or at least most people, need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep. In this fast-paced, sensory-overloaded, troubled modern world however, many people have succumbed to insomnia or are sleep deprived for various reasons and causes. Some people just can’t fall asleep. While others cannot even if they want to. And this just wreaks havoc on the body, as it cannot get the right amount of downtime it needs to rejuvenate tired cells and organs.
