#2The headline is deceptive, the point of the article is interrupted and insufficient sleep leaves you tired.
Re: When Sleep Leaves You Tired
#3Not to downplay the severity of people's health problems when it comes to certain sleep conditions, but I've observed a basic principle in life: When you try to work in ways that go against the basic design of your body you have to resort to a lot of complicated things to coddle and cajole your body into going along with it. 300 dollar sleep devices, mattresses, alarm clocks et al.
At the end of the day, I wonder how many sleep issues would go away if we ate correctly, stayed active, turned the lights out at dusk and kept the blinds open for when dawn peeks through the curtains. When we operate outside our design parameters we can function, but we function as visitors. Encumbered with our mass of tools, plans, pills and procedures designed to enable us to survive outside the envelope. Necessarily? Sometimes yes. Elegant? Almost never.

The headline didn't deceive me. The article was up to my expectations from the headline.

When I saw the headline I thought the article is about the dangers of sleeping too much.

The headline connects an all-too-common observation to expanded awareness and a potential avenue for resolution.
Seems fair to me.

#8I just ordered the Zeo Sleep Coach. Interesting idea. Hoping they wouldn't have gone to market unless they had it working reasonably well. 30 day refund just in case.

"When we operate outside our design parameters we can function, but we function as visitors."
Agreed! I try to live this way, but I have one nagging problem...
We weren't meant to sit for 8 to 12 hours per day staring at a little box. All my bad habits flow from this.
I love what I do, but this one item makes me second guess my career choice all the time.

#10Nice ad.
Go to your doctor, explain your sleep troubles, see if you can get a sleep study. Check with your insurance, they may pay for it (~$1200).
Also, if you opt to see your doctor over the Zeo $400 doctor-mom route, he would be able to prescribe a CPAP device in the event that you have sleep apnea, or controlled medicines such as Provigil that require a bit of extra medical evaluation to get approved.
