I love the piece I wrote for the Real-Life Health Diary in this month’s Health magazine.

I wrote it for all of us who have had a moment pretending we weren’t sleeping, or even lie and say we don’t sleep because putting our head on the pillow has somehow become a symbol of wasted time, a sheer luxury. Me? I don’t buy it. I work hard to get my eight hours and I explain why. Click on the story below, or here to read “Since When Did Sleep Become a Luxury?” on Health.com:

Hope you enjoy the story, and…sleep tight!
