TV Alert: Sleepless in America on National Geographic

This Black Friday morning, I am watching tv, surfing the web, and avoiding crowds.  I found this commercial about an upcoming show related to sleep.
The website says:

In an unprecedented partnership, NGC along with The Public Good Projects and NIH, America’s foremost scientific authority, will draw the nation’s attention to the science of sleep — a topic fundamental to our collective well-being.

The link to the site with several other video clips is here: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/drain-the-bermuda-triangle/videos/sleepless-in-america-trailer/
Topics include highway hypnosis, sleep deprivation, sleep after combat, fatigue, and more.

The episodes airs at 8 pm and 11 pm Eastern, 5 pm  and 8 pm Pacific time.

The Secret to Better Sleep: An Infographic

As I get older, my sleep patterns keep changing and I am finding that a complete night's sleep is very elusive.  Sometimes I have early sleep, some time awake and some late sleep.  Napping is always a welcome part of my day.  I receive a daily email about infographics.  A recent one is below (http://dailyinfographic.com/the-secret-to-better-sleep-infographic).  You can find/subscribe to them here:  http://dailyinfographic.com/.  In an upcoming post, I will share some online tools to creating your own infographics.
