First of all, who the hell is<\/b> the National Sleep Foundation? I guess the people who were surveyed all work there because I’m sure there’s nothing to do in that organization except sleep. Just what kind of advice is “Exercise regularly, but do so in the daytime, preferably after noon”? Don’t they know that actual people need to work? These people at the NSF are nutty. <\/p>\n
Man, I need to get more sleep… I wouldn’t be so cranky if I did… ![](\"..\/images\/emoticons\/chat_face_dazed.gif\")
