The annual sleep report from the Natinal Sleep Foundation concldes number one Americans don’t get enough sleep, which we already knew, and number 2 the usual suspect is responsible.

With all the Viagra spam out there I can’t imagine ANYONE would be thinking about e-mail at bedtime, but in fact Russell Rosenberg, vice chairman of the National Sleep Foundation, says we have all SORTS of things on our minds besides sleep:

RosenbergA:…
How can that be.  I clearly remember being told that once we all had a computer to handle routine tasks we’d all be done by lunch.  Plenty of time to smell the roses, take long walks, try to remember he kids’ names…  But no, it was all a lie:

Well, if you’re married to your job, might as well take it to bed with you and consummate the relationship.  Just don’t expect to get any sleep, because the gizmo will reprogram your body:

Melatonin, of course, promotes sleep.  This is a particular probem for teenagers.  You know how much sleep a teen is supposed to get according to the experts?  9 hours… and 15 minutes.   SO there it is… we start off tired as kids and we stay tired as adults.
There’s an excellent chance that sometime today you will do business with, be driving next to, or eat food prepared by a really tired person.
