As I tell the kids, don't bite the bedbugs; they hate that.



Life with the world somewhat shut down is a little… boring.  Sure, there are movies and books and workouts and crafts and games, but still, eventually, boring.  Here is the good news:  we can sleep.

Google says that, on average, we Americans get 6.8 hours of sleep per night.  Most of us can attest that this is Not Enough.  Now that we’re not allowed to go play with our friends, we can seize the blankets!  Naps are wonderful!  There’s nothing to stay up too late to do!  We can snooze away the time we would have spent commuting!

Sleep deficits are bad for us.  Our brains don’t work as well.  Our psyches don’t either.  We all know that our bodies complain.

Extra time in bed is the lemonade of this time, so to speak.
