Sleep, Glorious Sleep... are you getting enough?

The National Sleep Foundation just released a study on the recommended amount of sleep that you need at night.  (National Sleep Foundation.... does that mean they get paid to sleep? - Because I would like that job).

Anyway, the National Sleep Foundation released new recommendations for sleep at every age..  See below.  Are you getting enough? 

I am!  Sleep is one of my most important things, if I don't get it I'm a real bitch and not fun to deal with.

  • Infant (4-11 months): 12-15 hours (previously: 14-15 hours)

  • Preschooler (3-5 years): 10-13 hours (previously: 11-13 hours)

  1. Just received a check for $500.

    Sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much you can make by taking paid surveys online...

    So I show them a video of myself getting paid over $500 for filling paid surveys.
