Short, Quality Sleep

Is it possible shorter, quality bursts of sleep could be just as good for us as the long nights experts say we need to stay healthy?

This post from Run DMZ does a good job of exploring this topic, using a recent article published in the New York Times.

According to an expert highlighted in the article., one theory suggests that short bursts of quality sleep can be good for us as well.  Keep in mind, I'm not sure there is anything that helps the body recover more than a good night of natural sleep though.

Provocative thoughts, nonethelss.  And everyone is different.  What works for some may not work for all.
