sleep is good for you

At our last Family Camp Retreat my camp roommate and I concluded that as we get older denying oneself of the physiological necessities become more and more apparent. I'll give you some examples- albeit not really the ones we brought up..

food- namely ice cream. its very important to eat atleast a little bit every so often. it does wonders for social life, moral, general well being. I myself am partial to chocolate coffee sorts of ice cream with a hint of coconut.
drink- i'd say the regular beer, glass of wine or mixed drinks (during the real tough days) are super important for when life is just twisting your arm and you can't take the pain anymore. just one drink at time though.
laughter- well good for the abs and for the face.. helps people be more attractive and more appealing to be around.
sleep- definitely the most important. especially good during the 2-4pm hours. helps reengerize and aids in resting the body from the vertical position. i recommend more than 4-5 hours a night.
