Is sleep the new sex?

Janice Kennedy writes in the Montreal Gazette a piece on how sleep is the new obsession. She writes; "It might be one of the basic necessities of sentient life, along with sex, shelter and food. But sleep has become the sensuous new It- hot lush and desirable" adding; "Want to do better at your job or in school? Get a good sleep. Want to restore your sagging sex life? Get a good sleep. Want to lose weight and get rid of those love handles? Get a good sleep.." For my part, next time my son is away, i'll ask my wife if she wants a good 2 hours of uninterrupted ..sleep!
