Hi Nora,

It’s really liberating, isn’t it? That was my experience with this idea that there’s actually nothing wrong with sleeping “a lot.” Just the fact that most people see 8-10 hours as a lot of sleep is a sign of the screwy priorities. Also, I love this idea of prioritizing sleep first! What a great concept. πŸ™‚

Hi Carol!!

Awesome to “see” you here. Hey, yeah – 1 out of 2 is better than 2 out of 2. πŸ™‚

Hi Linda,

That’s awesome that you noticed that coffee disrupts your sleep and don’t drink it too late in the day. Anything we can do to get more sleep is always a good thing.

As for drinking coffee with booze, that’s a whole other blog post! πŸ™‚

Why this obsession with coffee? I only like it if it has booze in it. (Alcohol cuts the bitterness). I don’t use caffeine because if I drink it too late in the afternoon it disrupts my sleep. I wonder if this has anything with me being a morning person?

I read that the first thing one schedules in is sleep rather than the last. Our priorities are pretty backwards in western society.

Hi Mike,

Awesome! Happy to help. I’ll sleep better now, knowing that you’re sleeping better too. πŸ˜‰

Thank you for this post, Z. I am one of those folks who always thought there was something “wrong” with me because I like to/need to sleep so much. Now I know why – it’s just how much sleep I need. Thank you.

Hi Karen,

I always knew that you were a good weird! πŸ™‚

And I’m SO glad that you can now let go of feeling guilty or lazy about sleeping! There’s SO much misinformation in society about the need for sleep, which was one of the reasons I was led to write this post. That said, I was also a little nervous about posting it, as I know that lots of folks have had the whole sleep = lazy thing implanted in their brains.

But now that I have the image of carpenters sawing off my side of the bed if I don’t use it, I have even more incentive to make sure I’m getting enough snooze time. Thanks for that!

Thank you!

I do find that sleep is a really good friend. I feel like a million bucks when I get enough sleep, which is just about all the time, I daresay.

My feller, Mark, on the other hand runs on a few hours sleep per night and drinks lots of herbal stimulating beverages (not coffee anymore). I’ve often alerted him that I’m going to call some carpenters to come over and saw off his part of the bed if he doesn’t start using it more. πŸ˜‰

Thanks again for this post! I no longer feel weird — at least not about being one of the few folks I know to get lots of good sleep. (I might feel a little weird in other ways — but it’s a good weird.) πŸ™‚
