Generation Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I really don't get enough sleep, there are some night when my brain just goes 'Nope, not happening' although it has gone on for decades so it is probably used to only getting 4 or 5 hours a night.
I have tried going to bed later and going to bed earlier but nothing seems to change the pattern but according to a survey, it is not a problem for the younger generation because a survey for a mattress company asked 2,000 of them and found they on average go to bed at between 9pm and 10:30 and fall asleep 42 minutes later which seems a bit...well, boring.  Generation Zzzzzzz indeed.
Research from the European Heart Journal in 2021 suggested that going to sleep between 10pm and 11pm is linked to a lower risk of heart disease but then researchers at Stanford University, published in Psychiatry Research, which analysed the sleep patterns of nearly 74,000 adults found that they recommend lights out by 1am and sleeping for nine hours and 28 minutes which sounds the perfect excuse for turning up late to work, can't argue with science Boss.
