Any tips for easy ways to incorporate enough sleep and exercise into busy days? I am a full time student with not a lot of open blocks for a good, full exercise session, or for rest/naps when I get tired. Because I am studying so much, I sit throughout the day. I can fit about 7-8 hours of sleep in, but that's all.

What is the minimum amount of excercise I can do to still be considered following 811? Is brisk walking, 30 minutes a day enough? I understand the value of vigorous activity, and I love it, but right now I have to prioritize my time for school.

Also, Dr. Graham-- I recall you writing in a response that at the last Sport & Fitness week, you got little sleep for days at a time, and I would like to know what you do to try to "manage" during severe sleep debt when you can't help it due to other obligations! Thank you!
