For instead, being able to daydream is an essential when it comes to having willpower and being creative in every day life. Thus, it is important a lot yourself that sort of time. This raised many more questions for me. For example, being a biology major, I wonder about the physiology behind this.

Why Sleeping May Be More Important than Studying To begin, I have always been very interested in sleep. I have done a lot of studying on my own and I have learned a great deal in my physiology and psychology courses.
