A member asked:

Can going to sleep too late cause day time sleepiness sometimes? i fall asleep fine,i just go to bed from 12:30-2:30am. on bad schedule.help?

Sleep Hygiene : Going to bed early and having a set schedule is extremely important to good health. Also watch total number of hours you are sleeping, 7 to 8 hours daily is goal. Finally, waking up early to exercise is the greatest way to start your day!
