Informative for some but not all

Maybe it's me, but most of these debunked myths I already knew. I'm a night owl and always reading about ways to wake up earlier or have a restful nights sleep without my brain consistently going.

Pretty basic

This was a pretty basic depiction of some of the rules of sleep. Probably no big insights if you have read about these issues before.

short & to the point

myth buster

the myth busters were educational and helpful in determining the best time to nap over the weekend. I'm at work during the ideal nap time 5 days a week.

Very Useful Information
