      word phrasing?

      In the home page of dreamviews.com I noticed this:

      Before we begin, consider this: if the average person spends 7 hours a day sleeping, and lives an average life of about 75 years, then he or she has slept nearly 1/3 (22 years) of his or her life away. Those averages are not based on any official gathered data, but serve to impress the point of just how much of our lives we actually spend sleeping. It’s possible, however, to get more life out of those wasted years through lucid dreaming and dream control. Of course, that’s more easily said than done. Before being able to control your dreams you have to be able to recognize that you are dreaming.[/b]
      Although it says nearly75 years, it then has (22 years) afterward. Which 1/3 of 75 would be 25.
      Basically the way it is formatted it seems that 1/3 of 75 is 22. Maybe if approxamatly 22 years was added?
      Maybe I am just being anal?
      Does that make any sense?

      7/24 * 75 = 21.875, or ~ 22.

      8 hours of sleep a day would be 25 years.

      22 years IS nearly 1/3 of 75.
      Each new day is a chance to turn it all around.

      I was not rebuting that you were mathimatically incorrect, but at first glance reading one might notice that 1/3 of 75 is not 22. That is all.
      that is why I suggested using approximatly 22 years of her life away. because most people won't do the =

      7/24 * 75 = 21.875, or ~ 22.

      8 hours of sleep a day would be 25 years.

      22 years IS nearly 1/3 of 75.
