We work or study hard most days of the week, then on weekends, isn’t nice to just sleep in? Yea! But sadly, most people complain that they feel groggy or worse have body pains after they oversleep on a weekend. Shouldn’t we feel better and more rested after longer sleep? Why is that?

Fact is most unfortunate things we experience could have been avoided with better preparation, with better focus or more awareness, with appropriate and timely actions. So in a way we can…
