For example, there is a lot of research on the perils of shift work. <br /><br />In my post today on the sleep cycle, I mention that the type of sleep that you get changes depending on what hours you are sleeping, something I hadn't known before today! Perhaps that is another reason that people function differently depending on whether they go to sleep earlier or later? I know I personally feel like Goldilocks - constantly on the search for the "just right" sleep schedule!<br /><br />I'll definitely put up a post in the near future about common sleep disorders. There is a lot of great information out there.<br /><br />Thanks for reading,<br />AmieAmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262889319917440938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-48951338128872440132011-09-11T16:20:58.968-07:002011-09-11T16:20:58.968-07:00I pretty much always sleep exactly 8 hours (+- 30m...I pretty much always sleep exactly 8 hours (+- 30min). I realized it matters way more for me to sleep at certain times on a regular basis than how much sleep I get.<br /><br />If my day night rhythm has shifted to something unnatural (such as getting up at noon, sleeping late) I feel more sleepy during the day. That's probably also due to being exposed to less light.<br /><br />In the past I had times when I suffered from onset insomnia so some details about the different kinds of sleeping disorders would be interesting. :)Jay Uhdingerhttp://jayuhdinger.comnoreply@blogger.com
