That's my story: Just call me Mr. Sleep Deprived. I fully participated in the worst health risk of tango. No longer, but I was too tired to tango. That doesn't mean I stopped tango! I tried to stop in 2017. But instead, I just started dancing at earlier events. Presently, I go to a practica in my town that has great dancers and starts and ends early. I started a Facebook group called Early Milonga Enthusiasts in my town (please copy the idea in your town). I now go to encuentros where the timing is always an early milonga and an evening milonga that does not go so late. I sleep in as much as I can on these weekend encuentros. But I'm not "too tired to tango"--during an encuentro! I dance for as much as 8 hours of tango. My Fitbit, worn on my ankle, indicates I walk for over 5+ miles (8-10 kilometers). The point of good sleep is that we are NOT too tired to tango! Sleep and tango are buen amigos!
