Thank You for my D Penny Whistle. It is beautiful in both craftsmanship and sound. Yours is my seventh D whistle, as I have been looking for a particular tonal quality. The whistle you sent me has the sweet resonance I was looking for in the instrument.
Frequent Short Naps. People used to believe that giraffes never sleep; this was disproven by researchers in the 1950s. They found that giraffes sleep both lying on the ground and standing. They sleep for short periods that last from two and a half to six minutes, and they get a total of about four and a half hours of sleep in every 24-hour period.
A: Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hr. or more, or less than 6.5 hr., they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hr. Sleeping 8.5 hr. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr.
