I am envious (green with envy?!) and really want to make one- maybe after our next international move?! On a related side note, I have recently heard 3 mothers of boys say their husbands did not want their sons to play with kitchens. I am so glad I am not married to one of those men.

Some can get by on four hours a night, but others need as many as 12.<br /><br />"We don't have a lot of data on what exactly the best amount of sleep for a person is, but it's most certainly individual," said Dr. Robert Basner, director of the sleep center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center."<br /><br />Right now my PC clock says 1:38A EST.<br />I am wide awake. I woke up this morning at 6:30A, walked around a bit and then went back to bed to be awakened by my kids at 8:35A to then roll out of bed just after 9A.<br />I went to bed at 2:45A EST, Friday morning. Today is Saturday.<br /><br />With regularity I sleep as little as three to as relatively much as 7 hrs. (weekends)and I feel fine.<br />Have been doing so for nearly 40 years now since was the age of my son now (4), and with no ill effects.<br />Commonly in the spring and fall/winter when hunting season is in for turkey, deer and bear I will not sleep at all for 24 to as long as 72 hrs. straight so as to support my drive to and from where ever I might be, as well as time in the field. I do this too with regularity.<br /><br />Interestingly I am the most energetic person I know, and am commonly remarked as same by most everyone.<br />In an average week I might get 30 hrs.of total sleep. By many doctors accounts and following the very old and long held adage of sleep requirements I then would be continually carrying a deficit of on average 50% per week/month/year...As over basically the past forty years.<br />Not humanly possible to endure muchless support many would think and purport. Yet, here I am living and breathing proof.<br /><br />There are many others like me and we enjoy having basically and extra 30% of life in literal time to live as while most every other average person is non-functional asleep.<br />For example my wife requires 9 hrs. and prefers 12 hrs. of sleep. So do both my inlaws. Twelve hours! That is half a day.<br />As compared to just 3 or 4 to 6 hours.<br /><br />If you are following your own natural sleep pattern and with that are still feeling low in energy/tired, then I'd think to consider there might be some factor other than the sleep.<br />Diet, nutrition, stress (momentary mental state of mind) and/or environment.<br /><br />Sleep is not the end all and be all of feeling tired or not tired.<br />Even as it is commonly the first thing people think to assume as being ones problem.<br /><br />Commonly doctors remark that lack of sleep can result in cardiac and circulatory issues.<br />I get a full physical annually. Have been since age 12 as related to participation in various sports & athletics.<br />No problems what so ever. But then that's because I exercise, while not sleeping (!).<br /><br />Some additional info on same;<br /><br />Great People Sleep Less? <br />http://amolife.com/personality/great-people-sleep-less.html<br /><br />So, why do some people need such little sleep?<br />Friday, 14 August 2009<br />http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/so-why-do-some-people-need-such-little-sleep-1771873.html<br /><br />I'm likely going to head off to bed in about a half hour at 2:30A per my usual, for a typical weekend rate of 5 or 6 hrs. recharge of sleep.Janqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254220317886007198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329146487053102034.post-75103252028234504942010-08-05T09:29:06.377-04:002010-08-05T09:29:06.377-04:00I would try Aveda.

Otherwise, I was planning on trying the Naturtint myself (they sell it at Whole Foods so i trust it) also it's on sale for 4 dollars off right now at WF. It got really good reviews from users on drugstore.com- I have a few gray hairs since Roman was born!!
