About Sleep - aka "Sleep: 101"

I wanted to set up topic areas for people in the SLEEP Forum at Lumigrate.com which are similar to what has worked with Fibromyalia Forum: Provide the base structure and then let others start topics too.  My intention with Lumigrate is to provide a progressive, valid, streamlined, fun health and well-being website experience (and related facebook and Twitter) that maintains what Aretha Franklin would say 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T'.  Please keep these things in mind and diplomatically guide others who might be used to other places' way of doing things.  If you think if the Internet as a playgound and Lumigrate as the sandbox, no throwing of sand, speak respectfully, and mostly invite others to join and make newcomers welcome.  Naming of particular products is fine/ encouraged AND what I strongly suggest is that you also say how the product is obtained; is it retail, multi-level marketing, available online.  IF you are a person / company benefitting from the sale it is really necessary that you do this, please (and thank you).

In this topic, I invite people who have studied sleep to write -- professionals and non (as we all are able to learn and become experts in something at least, aren't we?).  I think I can speak for the Grate Group and say we all are looking forward to having a place for everyone to learn!  Thank you for reading, writing, and doing something to help others know.  "Print" this page -- it will look AWESOME -- give it to people or put it places where it might help others learn about coming here.  It is three days before Christmas as I write this (2009), and close with a favorite line ... 'Merry Christmas to ALL, ... and to all, a good night'.  (and Yenta over in the Forum / Spirituality area has allowed us to get pretty comfortable with knowing that we're also open to others including their religious and spiritual beliefs here, as we're respectful and inclusive.
