Despite what many people consider to be an unproductive way to spend your time, sleeping should be thought of as being incredibly productive. Sleep is absolutely paramount and goes hand-in-hand with productivity. Only with adequate sleep can you perform daily functions at your fullest ability.
According to Professor William Dement, a sleep expert nothing can change an individual's sleep requirement, not even caffeine. Caffeine and energy drinks merely prolong your drowsiness for a later time, but one way or another it will come back to you.
According to a Gallup poll, 56% of Americans experience daytime drowsiness due to lack of sleep and over one-third are dangerously sleep deprived. Therefore, you should never be ashamed of getting a little extra sleep.
So next time you think to yourself, "Oh gee I can't believe I slept in." you should take that as a sign that your body was in need of additional sleep.

Sleep is important. As a current college student I try to get on average 6-7 hours of sleep a day.
That's good, college students are most at risk of facing sleep deficits so it is important to get a lot of sleep. In fact, six hours even seems quite low (although everybody has different sleeping needs).
Funny, I have been getting less sleep because of my blog.
I added you to my links by the way and would like you to do the same.
Thanks.
