Getting some sleep, sweet sleep "Rock- a- By Baby in The Tree- top, When the wind blows the cra- dle will drop," is the old lullaby sung by many mothers and grand- mothers to their babies and grand- babies. One afternoon this week I was suffering from lack of uninter- rupted sleep. After eating a minor lunch I climbed onto the bed with a book in my hand with full intention to read myself asleep. I had the feeling that the book was too intriguing to allow sleep so I began to sing the Baby in the Treetop song to myself. Two lines into the planned nap and I conked out. The short nap lasted for two and one half hours. Wow, it still works on adults as well as babies. Those who know me well know that I am an avid but slow reader so it takes a lot to get me to sleep instead of reading. Various com- ments are made referring to tired- ness. Some blame it on the Daylight Savings Time changes each season, others say it is something they ate and then there are those who watch endless TV programs into the night and wonder why they have difficul- ty getting up in the morning. Some are actually diagnosed with sleep apnea. The fact is according to researchers, that sleep deprivation can be quite risky. Various studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is no doubt dangerous. Those who are consistently sleep deprived and were tested by using a driving simulator or by performing hand-eye coordination tasks perform as poorly as or worse than those who are intoxicated. Also a fatigued person who drinks alcohol will risk becoming much more impaired than someone who has rested. Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle acci- dents and 1,500 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Drowsiness is the brain’s last step before falling asleep. Many people drink coffee or other caffeine drinks believing that it will delay sleep. Factually, caf- feine alone cannot overcome the effects of severe sleep deprivation. Getting too little sleep creates a "sleep debt," which causes one’s body to become overdrawn at the sleep bank. At some point we all have to play catch-up from sleep deprivation. Even though some of us believe that we have adjusted to a sleep-depriving schedule, our judgment, reaction time and other functions are still impaired. Sleep requirements for each per- son depend on many factors, including age. Infants require approximately 16 hours of sleep a Exchange Club thanked Carolyn Barber day. Teenagers need about 9 hours of sleep. Adults need 7 to 8 hours a night for the best amount of sleep, although some people need as few as 5 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day. Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than the usual. Experts say that if one feels drowsy during the day, even during boring activi- ties, it suggests that the individual has not had enough sleep. I will have to admit that I have become a bit weary checking out the affects of having deprived sleep. In fact I feel down right tired, I am blinking my eyes, yawning and considering a cup of coffee. On second thought, I believe I will turn on a nice quiet lullaby CD and curl back up in my cozy bed; it is just possible that I could be one of those individuals that require the 7-8 hours of sleep in order to function positively when awake.
