This is a really great article. It's very well written and informative. Well done!
I'm not sure if you are new to the platform or if you are already familiar with it, but you might want to try adding some pictures to your posts (ideally originals or sourced images). Pictures add to the readability of an article, make them more interesting for the reader and increase your chances of being curated by a curation project. Thats just my 2 cents tip to steem.
Sometimes people have trouble sleeping because they believe that they need more sleep then their body actually requires. Though the 7-8 hour rule has become a sort of standard for sleep, many humans sleep within a range of 5 - 10 hours - all of which are considered normal. Some people cannot fall asleep because they go to bed too early in an attempt to get 8 hours of sleep when their body only needs 5 hours. This results in several hours of lying awake. Some people actually find it helpful to cut back on sleep. The actual amount of time spent sleeping doesnt matter as much if the person feels rested when they wake up and energized throughout the day.
Just my thoughts on sleep. Again, awesome article! It really got me thinking. Good luck in your sleep journey!

Hi Leaky! I am indeed new, a very small minnow indeed. I agree with what you are saying about pictures, so future articles will be formatted with that in mind!
Also thank you for your thoughts on the number of hours people need! This is something I am going to go into depth on in a future podcast episode, How exactly do we find out how many hours of sleep do we need?
Thom
I look forward to hearing more!
