How Much Sleep Is Ideal?
According to Daniel Kripke, co-director of research at the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center:
“Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hours and 7.5 hours a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 6.5 hours, they don’t live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hours. Sleeping 8.5 hours might really be a little worse than sleeping five.”

Before You Send That Next Email…
Seth Godin has posted an excellent “Email Checklist” on his blog that has some great guidelines for anybody sending personal or business email.
Go read it.
Here are two of our favorites on the list:
“5. So that means that if I didn’t send it to them, they’d complain about not getting it?
13. Am I forwarding someone else’s mail? (If so, will they be happy when they find out?)”
Actually, Seth’s blog is so consistently awesome and insightful that we at Spiddlement think you’d have to be CRAZY not to read it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
