…seven hours of sleeping,
six months of burning,
five pounds of bass,
four kids all fishing,
three weeks of winter,
two Northerner boots,
and one transistor radio.

While there are technically enough hours in my day to consistently afford seven hours of sleep, I don’t always take advantage. Oh, I am definitely tired once about 9:00pm rolls around and all of the young people in the house no longer require any attention. But after being “on” since about 6:00am, it’s time for the nightly struggle of “me” time versus “sleep” time.

It goes in waves but most of the time goofing off (stuff like blogging) wins out over an extra hour or two of sleep. While skipping those few hours I’ve often wondered just where I stand on the recommended sleep scale.

Well, it would appear from the data presented above that I should be in the 7-9 hour range for over another decade before I get to trim the upper end down by an hour.

As such, maybe I’ll start the New Year with a more concerted effort to go to bed a little earlier.

Actually, you know, I think I’ll start a couple weeks early.

   

Good night…and talk to you later. Troy
