Even though I only did 45 minutes, the yoga session helped me to sleep; I slept heavily. I'm probably going to bed too late, though. I really needed a nap at 2pm and slept for 40 minutes. Maybe this isn't such a bad pattern--sleeping 11pm or midnight till about 7 or 8am. Nap at 2pm. There are studies that show that this sort of thing works.

Apparently adults need 7.5-9 hours sleep. I'm on the higher end of the scale but can deal with less if I get a nap. Exercise in the morning helps to wake me up.
