My husband was watching the Today show the other day. There was a psychologist on it that said Americans (don't know about Canadians) are averaging 6.1 hours per night, way below the recommened 8 (for most people; individuals vary). Apparently, brain activity falls way off after that. I'm sure swimming performance must too. So
1. How much sleep are people getting?
2. How much sleep would you like to get?
3. How much sleep is conducive to best swim performance?
4. Does lack of sleep effect your performance at practice or a meet?

My boss always tells me that there will be plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead. Of course, he is also the one who tells me the best medicine for the common cold is work....good times!
I generally get about 6-7 hours of sleep and I don't really feel that it is enough. With 2 kids it's awfully difficult to go to bed early and wake up late.
