From Brian Horton, West Launceston, Tasmania
Your leader advised us to have a good lie-in on the weekend (24 March, p 5). This was also a minor option in your look at dreams, suggested as part of point one in “Can you boost your dream power?” (p 34). But point five emphasised the need to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Sleeping in on the weekend resets your biological clock, so on Monday you wake up groggy, accident prone and more dream-deprived.
The editor writes:
You shouldn't regularly sleep in longer at the weekend than you do during the week – but an unexpected upside of doing it every now and again is the boost of dream sleep.
