Sleep: The Final Frontier.
| Many cultures, especially
the corporate ones in the United States, hold sleep deficiency up as
a badge of honor. But, it is nothing to be proud of. In fact, it is
something to fear.
Consider these facts:
- The National Highway Traffic Administration attributes
over 100,000 traffic "accidents" each year to insufficient
sleep. The actual number is probably much higher.
- The Sleep Institute has found sleep deficiency
to be the normal condition of Americans—and that explains a lot of
the problems we are having today with inattention and the inability
to focus enough to engage in critical thought.

I recently
completed "The Promise of Sleep" by William C. Dement, M.D.,Ph.D., which
told me much more than I ever wanted to know about sleep. Your
sleep course has the most sensible, concise and straight-
forward advice that hits many nails on their head.
I appreciate the effort made in behalf of those
of us who read it.
Excellent work at Mindconnection!
Thanks,

- Twice each year, most of American changes the
clock in a time-robbing exercise amazingly referred to as "Daylight
Savings Time." In reality, the spring change robs millions of
an hour of daylight each morning and shifts an hour of daylight into
"post bedtime." Either direction, the clock is suddenly
out of synch with established circadian rhythms. Industrial injuries
("accidents") and traffic incidents increase for about three
weeks following each of these clock changes.
- People who are religious about their bedtimes
look much younger than, and have more energy than, their "normal"
counterparts.
- Depression and insomnia often go hand in hand.
- The fact that work performance suffers as sleeplessness
goes up needs no substantiation—we all know this from experience.
- A person who is 20% sleep deprived has the mental
acuity of a person who is legally drunk. By the way, CEOs often brag
about how "hard" they "work" and how little sleep
they get—4 to 6 hours is common. Now you know why layoffs happen—a
bunch of drunks run most of our corporations.
- Sleep deficits cause a dulling of the mind, irritability,
and loss of focus. If you are having problems with grasping new information,
dealing with others, or concentrating, consider sleep deficit a prime
area to address.
Yes, sleep deficiency is costly in finances,
human potential, and the ability to enjoy life. Now, you can do
