A sleep scientist advises against blindly following the eight-hour sleep rule. Instead, you should create a routine to find your optimal sleep time. Emily Moss is running the 2026 Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America as part of Team BILH in support of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) to give back to the hospital that saved her life. Born prematurely at just over two pounds, Emily spent her first 10 weeks of life in the Klarman Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where the extraordinary care she received helped her grow into a strong, active adult. Fitness has been an anchor throughout life. Whether teaching Pilates, running in a 200-mile midnight Ragnar relay, or training for a marathon, Emily channels her resilience into every challenge. ![]()
