The more Pound360 reads about sleep (for example, people that sleep less have higher mortality rates, are more likely to be overweight), the more we’re convinced a good night’s sleep is just as important as regular exercise, eating vegetables and not smoking to maintain good health. But don’t listen to us. We’re not doctors.
