Sleep, that knits the ravelled sleeve of care.
I am a big fan of sleep. Sleep is good for you, especially if you are a teenager. Why do we have high-schoolers go to school before elementary school kids, and not after? This makes no sense, physiologically speaking.
I'm pretty sure I've talked about this before, but it bears repeating: adults sleep roughly two hours a day less than they did one hundred years ago (nine hours vs. seven). That's absolutely crazy, and I think it's a major contributing factor to the general increase in mental illness, especially unipolar depression, we're seeing throughout the world. Cheap electric light is wonderful stuff, but it may have hidden costs...
