53. OTB: Why We Sleep (or can't)
- www.med.harvard.edu
- Spring 1996 Volume 5, Number 3 Why We Sleep (or can't).
- In Shakespeare's words, "To sleep, perchance to dream," the idea of sleep is relief from life's burdens and restoration of the human spirit. Ask anyone who is unable to sleep about the value of slumber.
- But how does the brain regulate its own state of wakefulness? And what, in fact, is the biological value and meaning of sleep and dreaming? Recent research is beginning to make headway in resolving some of these age-old questions, and we can look forward to some new medications and treatments in the coming years that may relieve one of life's major sources of travail. Hypnos, God of sleep; Greek, 4th century. ... ) Why Sleep?.
- It is legitimate to ask why animals sleep at all, given that the individual is less able to defend itself during a period of reduced arousal. ... Clearly sleep performs some profound function for the nervous system, but what is it? .
- Many theories have been proposed, including a famous suggestion by the Nobel Prize winner, Francis Crick, that the purpose of sleep is to allow the brain to "take out the trash" -- to deprogram the miscellaneous events that are not to be stored for long-term memory. ...
- To explore the circuits in the brain that participate in sleep, we have homed in on the production of a protein called Fos, made by many nerve cells in the brain when they are active. ... Even after the animals are allowed to go to sleep, many take some time to "get in the mood," and during that period the Fos system in the brain remains extremely active. However, with the onset of sleep, the Fos protein in the brain disappears very rapidly. ...
- The disappearance of Fos protein with the onset of sleep may mean that it is necessary to turn off these genetic pathways, to allow them to reset, so the nerve cells can be re-engaged the next day anew in a fresh set of tasks. ...
- How, then, does the brain regulate its state of wakefulness? At the turn of the century, it was assumed that the natural state of the brain was awake, and that sleep represented a state of generalized decreased brain activity. However, by the early years of this century, evidence began to accumulate that injuries to the brainstem, the lowest portion of the brain, could cause the forebrain to fall into a sleep-like state, known as coma. ...
- Recent studies have identified nerve cells in this area of the brain that are specifically active during sleep. In other words, not only is waking an active state, but sleep also requires activity of special nerve cells to maintain a state of sleep. ...

- www.icb.ufmg.br
- NOISE AND SLEEP QUALITY IN TWO HOSPITALS IN THE .
- SUMMARY: Patients of two hospitals in Belo Horizonte (BH) were questionned on the eve of discharge to evaluate the sleep conditions related to noise. Patients had a worse perception of sleep at University Hospital, whose internal nocturnal Leq=53. ... Noise was the only sleep-disturbing factor to be statistically significant. ...
- The quality of sleep is frequently impaired by the excess of noise of the modern society, and in overpopulated cities it needs to be better characterized, especially for patients in hospitals, because it is assumed to be important for patients recovery (1-7). ...
- To compare the patients perception of their own sleep, a questionnaire was applied during 1994 to male patients in two public hospitals: Baleia, a quiet one, and University, a noisy one. The 35 patients selected did not present any disease that would be expected to directly affect the sleep and were not users of somniferous or sedatives drugs. Only patients on the eve of discharge were evaluated, concerning the previous night sleep. ...
- Difficulties inducing sleep, 51. ... Medical care disturbed the sleep of 43. ...
- 9% of patients desired a longer sleep duration on the last night and this was statistically different from 27. ... The slightly better sleep rate for last hospital than at home indicates possibility of controlling sleep quality during hospitalization.
- For all 24 questions the results indicated better sleep at Baleia patients, except "sleep perturbation due to temperature". This item and "sleep pertubation due to illumination" are the only ones in which the internal hospital noise could not be one of the intervening cause. ...
- At home the majority of patients of both hospitals, who are poor and usually reside in the outskirks of city, seem already affected by sleep disturb induced by noise. Since the noise level increase toward downtown, the sleep pertubation by noise must still be higher, reaching those levels shown at University and corroborating the fact that BH is considered to be a noisy city (8). ...
60. Sleep deprivation may be undermining teen health
- www.apa.org
- Sleep deprivation may be undermining teen health .
- Lack of sufficient sleep--a rampant problem among teens--appears to put adolescents at risk for cognitive and emotional difficulties, poor school performance, accidents and psychopathology, research suggests. ...
- In adults, such meager sleep allowances are known to affect day-to-day functioning in myriad ways. In adolescents, who are biologically driven to sleep longer and later than adults do, the effects of insufficient sleep are likely to be even more dramatic--so much so that some sleep experts contend that the nation's early high-school start times, increasingly common, are tantamount to abuse.
- "Almost all teen-agers, as they reach puberty, become walking zombies because they are getting far too little sleep," comments Cornell University psychologist James B. Maas, PhD, one of the nation's leading sleep experts. ...
- There can be little question that sleep deprivation has negative effects on adolescents. ...
- Insufficient sleep has also been shown to cause difficulties in school, including disciplinary problems, sleepiness in class and poor concentration. ...
- "You can be giving the most stimulating, interesting lectures to sleep-deprived kids early in the morning or right after lunch, when they're at their sleepiest, and the overwhelming drive to sleep replaces any chance of alertness, cognition, memory or understanding. ...
- Recent research has also revealed an association between sleep deprivation and poorer grades. ... Carskadon, PhD, of Brown University Medical School, found that students who reported that they were getting C's, D's and F's in school obtained about 25 minutes less sleep and went to bed about 40 minutes later than students who reported they were getting A's and B's.
- Compared with students whose schools maintained earlier start times, students with later starts reported getting more sleep on school nights, being less sleepy during the day, getting slightly higher grades and experiencing fewer depressive feelings and behaviors.
- Also troubling are findings that adolescent sleep difficulties are often associated with psychopathologies such as depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- This research, combined with studies showing widespread sleep deprivation among teens, has propelled efforts to educate children and adults about the importance of a good night's sleep and to persuade schools to push back high-school starting times.
- "There is substantial evidence that the lack of sleep can cause accidents, imperil students' grades and lead to or exacerbate emotional problems," says U. ...
- The research has also spurred further investigations into why teens need extra sleep, the effects of sleep deprivation on cognition, emotion regulation and psychopathology, and the long-term consequences of chronic sleep deprivation.

63. Insomnia and Other Related Sleep Problems - health information
- www.mckinley.uiuc.edu
- Insomnia and Other Related Sleep Problems.
- Insomnia - the inability to sleep, or to sleep satisfactorily - is the most common sleep disorder. It varies from restless or disturbed sleep to difficulty in falling asleep, to a reduction in the usual time spent sleeping. ...
- Requirements for sleep vary widely. Most adults need the traditional seven or eight hours of sleep a night, but some adults are "short sleepers" and function well on only three or four hours. Many people overestimate the amount of sleep they need and underestimate the amount they actually get during a restless night. Generally there is no need for concern, even if an unbroken night's sleep is rare. However if loss of sleep impairs a person's ability to function well during the day, it might indicate a problem.
- ROLE OF SLEEP.
- The mechanism that induces sleep is not known. In the dark, the pineal gland in the brain secretes a hormone called melatonin, which is thought to induce sleep. Exactly why sleep is necessary for good health and efficient mental functioning is unknown. We do know that sleep consists of two very different states: rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. In REM sleep, the eyes move under the closed lids, the heartbeat quickens and all body processes speed up. Dreams occur during REM sleep and sexual arousal is common, even if the dreams themselves are not sexual in content. Periods of REM sleep last about 20 minutes and occur four or five times during the night. They alternate with longer periods of non-REM sleep, when body functions slow. Non-REM sleep has four stages. ... As the night goes on, the periods of non-REM sleep become progressively lighter. Stage 4 sleep is felt to be restorative.

It's the only time during the day when our system has a significant release of growth hormone which boots the immune system and aids in the growth and repair of the body. Deep sleep allows the mind to rejuvenate! Missing one night of sleep leads to a decrease in problem solving, learning ability, memory and concentration. ...

- SLEEP AND LANGUAGE.
- Sleep: .
- During sleep, we are essentially cut off from the sensory world. ... Everyone has different thresholds during sleep, though; enough of any stimulus will wake us. ... If the gate of the thalamus is closed, then the cortex can shut out the world and go into sleep-mode. ...
- Electrophysiologists define sleep in terms of the electrical activity of the brain. ...
- During sleep, the multitude of electrical events begin to fall into sync with one another, and the tracing takes on a new appearance: .
- There are four recognized stages of sleep, from the first and "lightest" stage to the deepest fourth stage. At night, you progress from stage 1 to stage 4 in the first hour of sleep, and spend the rest of the night cycling up and down between 1 and 4. ... Every time you return to stage 1, you enter REM sleep - a period of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements. REM sleep is also called paradoxical sleep, because the body appears to be more deeply asleep than in any other stage, but the EEG looks very much like the waking brain. The desynchronous activity of the brain may be due to dreaming, which also occurs during REM sleep.
- Dreaming occurs during REM sleep, the "paradoxical" sleep stage. ...
- The dorsal raphe nuclei, a cluster of serotonergic cells, and the locus ceruleus, a group of noradrenergic neurons, also play a role in sleep. ...
- One of the striking things about REM sleep is the absolute stillness of the body. During most stages of sleep we toss and turn, but in REM sleep only the eye muscles twitch (and, for some unknown reason, the middle ear muscles!). ... This is different from sleepwalking, which usually does not occur during REM sleep.
66. The Phenomena of Sleep - Karger Gazette
- www.lboro.ac.uk
- The Phenomena of Human Sleep.
- Sleep Phenomena.
- Human sleep seems to have much in common with that of other mammals. ... There is a typical body posture, a specific place to sleep, other behaviours and physical activity cease, the eyes close, and there isa generalised reduction in sensory awareness. The organ showing the clearest changes during sleep compared with relaxed wakefulness, is the brain. ... Focussing on the brain in this way is appropriate in other respects, as not only does the brain contain the control mechanisms of sleep, but of all the body's organs, it the brain and behaviour (especially the cerebral cortex) for whichsleep seems to be the most vital. ...
- For many small mammals such as rodents, sleep has other particular benefits, as it provides the only real opportunity for physical rest, and confines the animal to the thermal insulation of a nest. In these respects sleep conserves much energy in such mammals, particularly as sleep can also develop into a torpor, whereby metabolic rate drops significantly for a few hours during the sleep period. ...
- It has been thought that sleep is a lesser form of hibernation, and although those small mammals which hibernate enter hibernation through sleep (via torpor), more recent and intriguing evidence indicates that the two states are distinct (Kilduff et al, 1993). Hibernating mammals have periodically to arouse and enter sleep, as it seems that a need for sleep also accumulates during hibernation. Such sleep periods involve a lengthy arousal from hibernation and are costly in energy terms. This strongly suggests that sleep must serve some vital function other than just energy conservation, even for these less cerebrally advanced mammals.
- Sleep probably serves a variety of functions which may well alter subtly as the evolutionary scale is ascended, depending on various interrelated circumstances of the mammal, particularly body size and need to conserve energy, level of cerebral development, amount of relaxed wakefulness, type of diet, and whether it is predator or prey. Also, for most mammals including ourselves, the roles of sleep may, for different reasons, alter as a night's sleep progresses, initially serving more important purposes, then changing to those of less benefit, and eventually to a sleep that is superfluous, luxurious and just pleasant to take.
- Perhaps sleep can be compared with eating and drinking ? A certain amount is vital, but we can easily consume more than we really need. Just because we can, on days off, all sleep an hour or solonger than our average daily amount, it does not mean that we really need this extra sleep. Currently this is a very controversial topic (Harrison & Horne, 1995), and the counter- argument is that because most people have the capacity to take an hour or so more sleep than their usual daily 7-8 hours, then they must be chronically sleep deprived. ... When people are encouraged to take as much sleep as they can, their alertness in the daytime is only improved marginally, mainly in the early afternoon (Harrison and Horne, 1995). If this regimen is continued for several days and nights, then nighttime sleep quality deteriorates, and people find that it takes longer to get to sleep at night and they wake up more frequently. It is as if their sleep is becoming stretched out, inefficiently, to fill the extended time available for sleep. Lying in bed in the morning to obtain more sleep is not cost effective time-wise, especially as in healthy people the simplest remedy to daytime sleepiness is a short nap (Horne and Reyner, 1996). There is no substantive evidence to show that our daily amount of sleep has declined much over the course of history, and evidence to the contrary is very debatable. Recently, for example, Bliwise (1996) claimed that people are more sleepy nowadays thanwas the case sixty years ago - implying that we now take less sleep than we did then. ...

- Sleep Apnea: More Than Simple Snoring.
- Sleep apnea is among the most common and most dangerous types of sleep disorder. An estimated 18 million Americans have the condition, which is marked by repeated episodes of cessation of breathing during sleep that over time can lead to high blood pressure, cardiac disease, and disordered thinking.
- Sleep apnea was the culprit in Lauren Ero's case. After two years of trying various antidepressants that offered her no relief, Ero sought a second medical opinion and was sent for a sleep analysis.
- "Then it was really obvious what it was," says Ero, who recently began working for the American Sleep Apnea Association. ...
- But her "snoring" problem was distinct from the merely annoying type because she was also gasping for air throughout the night--possibly tens of times each hour--which repeatedly roused her out of her refreshing, deep sleep. The results were the telltale signs of sleep apnea: excessive daytime sleepiness and difficulty functioning.

As this number is usually miniscule in comparison to the numbers of attempts a cracker would probably need to brute force a password, sleep() _does_ in fact provide effective anti-cracking benefit. Of course, a smart cracker could write his code to end the connection long before the sleep() is done, but that makes it a guessing game; how quickly can the connection be ended without accidently losing the successful connections the cracker wants? This is not an easy question to answer for the cracker because all of those concurrent connection attempts can significantly slow down all of the responses, even successful ones. Against this "smart" cracker there is going to be a limit; sleep(30) is probably going to be no more effective than sleep(5). In the end, using sleep() makes the code neccessary to brute force a password much more complicated and that in itself will eliminate some would-be crackers. ... So the short answer is that using sleep() after an authentication failure is _always_ better than not using sleep(). Best of all is to use sleep() after successful authentication too-- this would mean that the cracker _must_ wait the full sleep() period in every case and makes brute forcing a password require a very, very long time (years?). ...
