The entire system is on the precipice of a collapse, if not for economic reasons alone, then certainly for ethical and intellectual ones.

A dark night is good for your health

Richard Stevens, University of Connecticut Today most people do not get enough sleep. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called insufficient sleep an epidemic.
