TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Today's topic is something that most of us enjoy and many of
us don't get enough of....sleep! Why is it so hard to relax
and fall asleep at night, but in the morning it takes so
much effort to wake up and get out of bed? No matter what
time I have to get up, I'm always wishing for five minutes
more!
Enjoy!

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with
reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our
minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our
bodies every morning to keep it late."
HINT: (1780?1832), English cleric, writer and collector,
well known for being eccentric.

RANDOM TIDBITS
The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days,
21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The
record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred
vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.
***
Exposure to noise at night can suppress immune function
even if the sleeper doesn?t wake. Unfamiliar noise, and
noise during the first and last two hours of sleep, has
the greatest disruptive effect on the sleep cycle.
***
The "natural alarm clock" which enables some people to wake
up more or less when they want to is caused by a burst of
the stress hormone adrenocorticotropin. Researchers say
this reflects an unconscious anticipation of the stress of
waking up.

VIDEO CLIP
Cute Pets Trying To Stay Awake
A pet can be so much like a baby and this cute video clip
proves it. Just watch this kitten and puppy trying
desperately to stay awake. But sleep will soon overtake
them. So cute you'll watch it over and over.

***********************************************************
Teenagers need as much sleep as small children (about 10
hrs) while those over 65 need the least of all (about six
hours). For the average adult aged 25-55, eight hours is
considered optimal.
***
To drop off we must cool off; body temperature and the
brain's sleep-wake cycle are closely linked. That's why
hot summer nights can cause a restless sleep. The blood
flow mechanism that transfers core body heat to the skin
works best between 18 and 30 degrees. But later in life,
the comfort zone shrinks to between 23 and 25 degrees -
one reason why older people have more sleep disorders.
***
REM sleep may help developing brains mature. Premature
babies have 75 per cent REM sleep, 10 per cent more than
full-term bubs. Similarly, a newborn kitten puppy rat or
hampster experiences only REM sleep, while a newborn guinea
pig (which is much more developed at birth) has almost no
REM sleep at all.
