One the the goals Jamie and I are working on are waking up early. The reasons for this are numerous: breathing the fresh morning air, watching the sunrise,being at peace away from all the noise and having more time in the morning... you can read the zenhabits article "10Benefits of Rising Early and how to do it" and 9 reasons to wake up early for more :).
Now, in order to wake up early and most importantly 'in shape' we must understand how the sleep mechanisms work! I have provided you with a list of wonderful resources ! Enjoy!
Here is a quiet interesting test you can take ;)
