Sleep or lack thereof

Sleepy factoids:

• Sleep walking (somnambulism ), sleep driving, and sleep sex (sexsomnia ) can get you into trouble. Or maybe out of trouble.

• In 1965 a 17 year old set a record by staying awake 11 days.

• However, police say a methamphetamine "tweaker" can stay away up to 15 days.

• Speaking of methamphetamine, German soldiers were wired on meth in the Blitzkrieg of WWII.

• Within 5 minutes of waking half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10 minutes, 90% is gone.

• You can kill a rat by keeping it awake for two weeks.

• Too much sleep can carry a 20% greater mortality risk over two decades. Same thing with too little sleep.

Finally, the best ways to get to sleep:

• consume foods containing tryptophan;

• count sheep; and

• work as a flight controller on the grave yard shift.

Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. I made this bed for my daughter-dog Candy using her favorite fleese blankets. I used left-over quilt batting pieces for the stuffing. She loved it so much that I made another bed for my niece-dog, who also loved it. Thanks again.

Did you know it's impossible to tell if someone is really awake without close medical supervision. People can take cat naps with their eyes open without even being aware of it.
