2015 “If you’re feeling cranky, confused or too tired even for sex, blame it on Thomas Alva Edison. We’re all bushed, and it’s all his fault,” said Newsweek, citing light bulbs, LED screens and caffeine as culprits robbing Americans of their sleep. Newsweek reported in 2015 that Americans averaged just 6.1 hours per night—down from 7.1 in the ’70s. But the trend may be reversing. New wearable technology offers unprecedented insights into our rest patterns; according to the Apple Heart and Movement Study, Americans now average around 6.7 hours of sleep. 1974 “Gasoline at the pump could jump as much as 9 cents...pushing prices well above 50 cents a gallon,” said Newsweek during OPEC’s oil embargo on the U.S. While gas prices were considered shocking at the time, today’s prices—$3.11…

So why would anyone…
