Too tired for sex?

A new study released today shows that many Americans are getting only 6 hours of sleep or less. The amount of sleep you get also seems to vary by ethnic group.

Quote:
Across the board, a lack of sleep appears to be affecting people's lives and relationships.

Roughly one in four people in each ethnic group said that they missed work or a family function because they were too sleepy, and a similar proportion said they were too exhausted to have sex on a regular basis.

How can someone be too tired for sex? Hell, I've done it while I was sleeping!

Heh! I bet many of the people too tired for sex are women. The study doesn't seem to break it down by gender.

I'm a fan of having "business hours." After 11 PM, I'm closed for the night--come back in the morning.

I need at least 8 hours. I don't see how all you people manage. I get mean, cranky, and I make even more stupid mistakes than usual without my beauty rest.
