My world has been shaken. Rocked. Everything I know has been turned upside down, and it all started with a little conversation between Sib and her beau.
I only caught the last part of their conversation, taking place between the living room where Austin lounged and the back hallway where Sib was in her bedroom... " yeah, but I've slept away 6 years of my life..."
"What?" I joined in. "How have you slept away 6 years of your life?" After all, during her 20 years on the planet, I've known her for well... all of them. And as far as I'm concerned? She's been conscious for the vast majority. This merited a follow up, and what followed rocked my socks.
"Austin and I decided to calculate how long we've actually slept in our lives", Sib followed up with me. "We figured that we sleep an average of 8 hours a night, every day, for the past 20 years. My number is 6 years."
I was immediately intrigued and busted out my calculator to see if this was true. Try it yourself.
8 hours of sleep/ night (X) 7 days a week (X) 52 weeks (X) (Your age in years)= Hours slept in your life
Divide this number by 24, giving you the amount of days you've slept. Then divide this by 365= how many years you've slept.
People. My number is 8.31. 8.31 YEARS have passed me by in slumber.
WOW.

I think it would be interesting to find out how much we have actually slept... like sleepless nights or sleeping a ton in high school. I LOVE sleep, but it's just the right amount I think that makes you happy, so have I deprived myself by not sleeping enough or sleeping too much? Totally interesting question! :)
I am TOTALLY upset right now! Whhhhaaaattttt???
Whoa! That's a little shocking to think about! EEK!!! With me it's probably more since I get like 9 - 10 hours of sleep each night.... crazy huh?? Seriously, I'm wasting my life away =(
XO
First of all, Finally you update your dang blog.
Second- just have a baby and you'll get your 'life' hours back. MUCH less sleep.
I remember reading your first year with a baby you lose 700 hours of sleep, its so true....
I am jealous of your life lost to slumber
