Most humans need 8 hours of sleep every day, which means we spend 33% of our lives devoted to sleep. However animals have very different sleeping patterns than we do.

Have you heard Dr Sarah Myhill’s statistic that 1 hour of sleep before midnight is worth 2 after? That’s a pretty startling statistic. But does it have any merit? Just going a search in google led me to a lot of bad reviews about it. In some cases, it actually aggravated their sleep-related conditions. However, it’s not all that bad of an idea.
