Sleep Deprivation According To Wikipedia 

... and someone did a very good job here. Got anything to add to it?

Sleep deprivation, a sleep disorder characterized by having too little sleep, can be either chronic or acute. Long-term sleep deprivation causes death in lab animals. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight gain.

Complete absence of sleep over long periods is impossible to achieve; brief microsleeps cannot be avoided.

Relax to the sounds of nature.. 

Perfect for the "power down" hour!

I treasure my collection of relaxation cds, they were absolutely essential in my victory over sleep deprivation. They are great for the "power down" hour Dr. Breus mentions in the video above.









What Wikipedia Has To Say About Insomnia 

A decent entry and fairly accurate... But of course with it being Wikipedia and all you have the options to add to it... I'll race you over there ;-)

Insomnia is a symptom of any of several sleep disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. By definition, insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both" and it may be due...

How Much Sleep Do You Get? 

The average Squidoo user could very well be sleep deprived, so I thought it would be interesting to have a poll here ;-) So...

Loading poll. Please Wait...

Learn about the SECRET discovered by a German research scientist in 1839... 

And EXACTLY how you can use it to STOP your SLEEP DEPRIVATION... TODAY!

If you sleep like a baby all night, every night then I'm sorry, but this message is NOT for you!

But if, like me you have ever suffered from insomnia or any other form of sleep deprivation, then I know what you'd give for a good night's sleep...

** Just about anything, right? **

The endless hours staring at your bedroom ceiling... the thoughts and worries that play full volume in your head and just won't leave you alone %u2026 shuffling aimlessly around the house waiting for sleep to come... trying to cope the next day when everyone else is wide awake and refreshed...

Only to return to bed, exhausted, and STILL not get a good night's sleep.

Chronic insomnia or persistent sleep deprivation really is a waking nightmare. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

I've spent fortunes trying various 'cures' over the years.

Nothing ever worked.

Until I got chatting to self-help author and guru Bradley Thompson and found out that he too used to suffer from insomnia.

What's more, he claimed to have found a cure and to be sleeping the sleep of the just ever since. And he found it by accident!

He told me about his remarkable discovery. This cure is based on a radical new use of a fairly old technology, discovered by a German research scientist way back in 1839. I must admit, if it hadn't been for his credentials, I would have thought the guy was NUTS for thinking that this could apply to insomnia.

"Yeah, right!" I thought.

Still, I agreed to try it. Like I said, I would have tried anything.

You know what? IT WORKED! And, much to my delight and surprise it has WORKED EVERY NIGHT EVER SINCE!

If you're a sufferer, you should be dancing on the table right now, because THIS IS THE REAL DEAL - a permanent cure for your sleepless nights. .

It is 100% safe, 100% effective, does not involve taking drugs and - this is the bit I like! - requires absolutely *NO* effort on your behalf at all.

I've got my life back! I'd love to think I can help someone else get theirs back too. Check out Bradley's site here.

Sweet dreams!

What The Heck Is A Binaural Beat? 

As Always Wikipedia Has The Answer

Binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain independent of physical stimuli. This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove.

The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the loudness of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject's ears, using stereo headphones. A beating tone will be perceived, as if the two tones mixed naturally, out of the brain. The frequency of the tones must be below about 1,000 to 1,500 hertz for the beating to be heard. The difference between the two frequencies must be small (below about 30 Hz) for the effect to occur; otherwise, the two tones will be heard separately and no beat will be perceived.

Binaural beats are of interest to neurophysiologists investigating the sense of hearing. Second, binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves and can be used to produce relaxation and other health benefits such as pain relief.Hemispheric-synchronisation during anaesthesia: a double-blind randomised trial using audiotapes for intra-operative nociception control, Jan 2000, Kliempt, Ruta, Ogston, Landeck & Martay

What is this sleep thing anyway?

Sleep is a naturally recurring state of relatively suspended sensory and motor activity, characterized by total or partial unconsciousness and the inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.Macmillan Dictionary for Students Macmillan, Pan Ltd. (1981), page 936. Retrieved 2009-10-1. It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and it is more easily reversible than hibernation or coma. It is observed in all mammals, all birds, and many reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In humans, other mammals, and a substantial majority of other animals that have been studied (such as some species of fish, birds, ants, and fruit flies), regular sleep is essential for survival.

The purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and are the subject of intense research.

What is a sleep disorder? (somnipathy)

Never had a problem getting sleep, except when I was in college. Partying and studying didn't lend too much time for sleep, but that was years ago. Nowadays, I work too hard, eat too much, and smoke too much pot to not sleep.
