Cuba Trip Planning - Part II
Although we will be staying with Family in Havana, we thought it would be fun for all of us to stay near the beach for a couple of days so I am looking into rentals in Cuba.

Plus, I function at a very low level without minimum sleep – which for me is at least 6 hours per night. I can’t remember ever giving up my sleep voluntarily - even during my college years – even during finals! Borrowing time with caffeine did...
The Importance of Sleep
There are many theories about why sleep is important. Some theories have to do with restoration of the body, building of our immune system, conservation of energy and getting body “downtime”.
