I always found it reassuring to remember that eight hours of uninterrupted sleep is not necessarily normal or required, and this recent BBC article goes some way in confirming this:

I wonder to what extent anxiety about fitting within a societal “norm” for sleep feeds into our insomnia.

Thanks for sharing this!

You know what, when I read this article it put a smile on my face since I wrote about this on the Insomnia Land blog back in September 2011:

Granted, I didn't go into nearly as much detail but it must show that we're doing something right at Insomnia Land when we're sharing interesting and relevant information before the established media!

That's an excellent blog article Martin, you were on to something!

By the way, the BBC article has been at the top of their site's 'most shared' list for a week now… we are not alone…

I noticed that too – there is so much pent up demand for better information and understanding about sleep, yet it doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves.

Very frustrating!
