Less than six, eh? So, are you living on minus time? Or do you store up bonus time in your teens??

Still building up debt from my teens. After I graduate I plan on sleeping for a year.

Now, I heard of another study like this and I wonder something.

Is it that sleeping 8+ hours affects your lifespan, or that a persons biology/mentality that make them sleep 8+ hours also ties in with their lifespan?

... Zzzz

Good point. I suppose it must have been an observational study, so it would be hard to know for sure. But if you did a study on animals where you controlled the amount of sleep in each group and if it had the same effect on their relative lifespans, then it would be likely that the same applies to humans. So long as you chose a species with comparable sleeping habits!

Nice photos on your website by the way!

Good point, it wouldn't *quite* be practical to do a study like that for humans ;) but it would be interesting to see what the results of such a study would be.

Thanks about the photos.. I really gotta organize that site! I've attached the link to my Japan blog.. nothing on the main page anymore, but the archives are plenty full (best to start at the beginning, it the end is kind of depressing, but anyways)...

Btw, I found your site through a breakdancer I think you knew at UofW.. Allen, a Korean guy?
