File under "Things we already know." Too much staring at glowing screens long after dark when we should be staring at campfires.

Damn good point Z...! I for one will be doing a bunch more of that this year...

I saw that today too! The wife and I are going camping next week, I'll report results, hahaha

Crap. It's midnight and I just read this. Seems that artificial light and irony are keeping me awake. At least the monster and Krispy Kreme will get me rolling when I get up in 4 hours.

Guess ill get a shit ton of sleep in the winter and almost none in the summer then. Haha Whoever wrote this article lived a lot closer to the Equator than me I think!

Funny, I find camping in bear country is a great source of insomnia. LOL

I have no trouble being sleepy staring at boeing screens on a 11 hour leg. Then I get to the hotel and wake up. Airplane is closer to being done so maybe I will get some back country camping in soon.

Perhaps if you make a habit of rolling in bacon grease before heading to sleep.

Great article. I get rather addicted to reading articles on the internet.

I am not sure whether I get enough sleep or not ?? I suppose it varies a lot fro person to person. Getting 7 or 8 hours of Z is just not happening. Plus they say as you get older you need less and less sleep ? Ugh..

Ill be down to zip
