Quote by Jim Cirni

“You worry too much. Take a shower and get some sleep. You'll feel much better later.' She was precious, my wife. If she couldn't screw it or spend it, she'd sleep on it. And either way, wasn't it better than worrying?”

“Parliament is the most visible and exaggerated example of how our societyis changing. It illustrates the blurring of our daytime work hours into night, the impact of technology on the 24/7 media cycle, and the slow twisting and shaping of our biological sleep patterns to fit our modern lives. In a democracy, parliament is our society's last line of defence, safeguarding our wellbeing, our pursuit of happiness. In some far-off future, it may be our democracy that decides what it means to be human.”

“Yet we need our elected representatives to remain connected to our everyday rhythms - of waking in the pale dawn to gently prod our children awake, the morning commute, the early evening conflict of a trip to the gym versus a wine or two, a late-night work email check, or the start of the late shift on a second job. Until technology intervenes to 'cure' our need for sleep, this is our life in the twenty-first century.”

“It turns out that about 3 per cent of the human population need on average two hours' less sleep a night than the rest of us. Let's call them the super-awake. And another 3 per cent of the population are the super-sleepers, who need an extra two hours' sleep to function normally. And the average person? We need about seven to nine hours a night to be at our superhero best.”
