As we gathered at a common meeting place at 7.00 a.m. to begin our hour long drive to the location for our retreat, I saw differing states of alertness. One look at the drowsy face and lethargic movements told a tale in itself. Too little sleep.

Too much and too little sleep is tied to ill health according to a study conducted in the US by the National Centre for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
