"Everyone knows that sleep is pretty important, and most of us probably feel we don't get quite enough of the best quality sleep. That means we're likely missing out on some of these benefits, which are not only health related but cognitive as well. Is it possible that we're all sleeping so badly that it's made us too dumb to learn to sleep better? Well, we all certainly hope not.

So let's dive in and tackle the top 15 myths about sleeping."
