I find articles like this interesting because of the lack of problems that I have. I have wrist problems, but they are due to a birth defect, not carpal tunnel. I have good sleep hygiene, I don't have headaches, etc. But I do recognize these symptoms in others.

I like the quote that the bed should be used for two things: sex and sleep. If you're awake more than 10-15 minutes, you should get up and do something relaxing, and you should NEVER use your laptop in bed!

(now if only I could convince my wife of that) :-)

i can't remember the last time i fell asleep in less than 15 minutes (i'm not counting "pass out due to too much bevie" here)... to be honest, i'm not sure i ever have.

Thanks! re: the userpics, I upgraded my accout and now have over 80 icons!

I usually fall asleep pretty quickly. I personally have the opinion that the bedroom is for sleeping, dressing, and sex, and that should be about it. I include reading before bedtime as part of sleeping, but as a rule I don't like to do anything else in there.

Oh dear... guilty as charged. Particularly the short attention span thing... Heh.

What isn't mentioned is that sometimes poor sleep is a result of a worn out mattress. I used to wake up multiple times during the night, and was definitely in sleep depravation mode. We got a new mattress, and voila, I don't wake up as often at night. I also find it extremely easy to fall asleep in front of the TV. The TV turns the brain off from trying to work out problems.

I've been sleeping on good waterbeds since I graduated from high school and I notice that compared to other people in my age group I have much fewer joint, back and spine problems. I think a good bed improves one's health in amazing ways. Doesn't even have to be water, though I love the warmth and adjustability of waterbeds.
