Sleeping with Science, a TED original series, uncovers the facts and secrets behind our nightly slumber. (Made possible with the support of Beautyrest)

Ted: Sleep with Science
Me: I’m single; i sleep alone..
nobody is single, you sleep with your body that has organs, trillions of cells, bacteria and fungi.
I never wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and restored. Always sleepy
*2pm in the evening*
I’m watching this after already drinking an an extra-strong coffee, and it’s 1:40 in the morning…
does this mean I’ll stop drinking coffee to ensure I get my REM and nREM sleep organised after learning how long it stays in your system? …nope
Me; listening to the effects of coffee & alcohol damaging sleep patterns.
Me; while watching & listening, attempting to justify my habits of coffee & whisky because I love them so much.
Me; solution, I will drink coffee & whisky in the mornings.
Me; Good idea you f’n genius you!
lol
“I’m not telling anyone how to live” Really? Cause this sounds like “day drinking is fine” to me… :>
For some reason, coffee makes me feel drowsy. I can instantly sleep after having coffee.
