It’s great idea to open 529 plan. Also, community colleges are good choice for the first 2 years of college. I have to admit that my two daughters are studying out of state(NYU and Berkeley). And, it is expensive.

Last summer I did an experiment to see how what I ate would affect my mood. What I found out was that lack of sleep affected my mood mor that what I ate. A weekend away with my college roommates was fun, but sleep deprived. Boy was I cranky when I got home!

I couldn’t agree with you more about the importance of sleep! The correlation with the loss of productivity’s particularly interesting, especially when you consider that many people think pulling all-nighters for a project actually does any good.

My wife and I have had success using Lavender Essential Oil made by Young Living Essential Oils when we have trouble sleeping
. A little on your pillow and you sleep like a baby.

If we are sleeping 20% less on average than 100 years ago, and a lack of sleep is so deadly, why are we living an extra 25 years? Maybe there are benefits associated with not sleeping as much, such as accomplishing more in life.

Further, I don’t see the statistic that people who sleep MORE than 8 hours a night are at an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, etc., just as people are when they sleep less than 6 hours a night.

Very enlightening! I guess it’s also important to get long periods of uninterrupted sleep. I know when I “sleep” for 8hrs… but an waken up 5 times, it feels like I had 2hrs sleep.

I think we can thank the good ol’ electric lightbulb for our lack of sleep these days!

Very nice infographic. It gives all the important information – including a couple of numbers even I didn’t know. I’ve been sharing the “tired = drunk” equation with my clients for several years now, and it definitely makes people think twice. By the way, 17 hours (that’s being up at 11 pm after a day that started at 6 am) is when we reach the equivalent in fatigue to the alcohol limit.

It’s nice to know that other people are publicizing those fact too.

Your infographics are always so impressive! I think those of us in the personal finance community are particularly interested that losing sleep can actually cost us money, in terms of lost productivity and damage to property (among other things). Great post!
