Early to Bed
"Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise," is
one of the most widely quoted proverbs from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's
Almanac. This proverb is seldom disputed however I fail to see the logic behind
it. I think that he who goes to bed early misses out on a lot of things and
must be antisocial.
Let us just say that everybody in the world sleeps eight hours a day,
and every one goes to bed at about eleven and gets up around seven but he who
wishes to be healthy, wealthy , and wise goes to bed around eight and wake up at
about four. He would still get the same amount of sleep as the rest of the
world because not only did he go to bed early but he got up early too so that
destroys the logic that he would get more sleep and therefore feel healthier.
If you were to sleep longer than the average person you might be able to
think more clearly which over time might improve ones physical and mental health
which I suppose could be interpreted......
