Many of us have a love–hate relationship with sleep. It can be delicious when we’re exhausted. But having to sacrifice so much time just to lie there with the worries of the day circling your head until you finally, hopefully drift off can make sleep seem more like a burden.
If we manage to get the recommended eight hours a night, we devote a third of our lives to sleep. But this precious time also competes with endless temptations beckoning us to leave the lights on and stay up late.
