Throwing out fleeting thoughts and deep reflections on whatever catches our attention.

Something's not right here!

The National Sleep Foundation in the United States maintains that eight to nine hours of sleep for adult humans is optimal and that sufficient sleep benefits alertness, memory and problem solving, and overall health, as well as reducing the risk of accidents.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that healthy, full-term newborns should breastfeed eight to twelve times in each 24-hour period. This equates to feedings two to three hours apart.

I think the National Sleep Foundation and the American Academy of Pediatrics ought to host a joint convention and work things out.
