Durning the midnight oil
during the next few weeks.
Afterwards, states an art-
icle inthe January Reader's
lastDigest, you should take a
day off to sleep off your fat-
igue.
Millions of Americans
don't get enough sleep, the
article says. By becoming
overdrawn at the sleep bank
they can get into serious
trouble.
To test the results of pro-
onged sleeplessness one
volunteer recently kept
himself awake for 72 hours.
He reported these effects:
he became lightheaded and
detached; voices seemed to
come from far away; ob-
jects appeared to move in,
then back away; he burst in-
to frequent laughter for no
reason.
The effects are similar--
though milder--says author
Theodore Irwin, when we
lose part of needed sleep.
Every sleep cheat suffers
some damage to his health.
Timing and coordination us -
ually suffer first; then hear-
ing and vision. The amount
of damage depends on the
length of the sleep debt.
Most sleep cheats stay up
for seemingly strong rea-
sons--the late television
show, an exciting movie, a
poker party. Some are
"m o o n 1 i g h ters" who hold
down second jobs to pad
their incomes.
But for others, less obvious
Causes are involved. Often
these are neurotic. The
frenzied man-about-town,
for example, may be trying
to escape from a painful re -
ality. The stay-up-late
housewife may be rejecting
sleep because of tensions
and anxieties. For such
persons, lack of sleep is a
deeper trouble.
The amount of sleep need-
ed varies with the individ-
ual, says Irwin. To find out
your own need try going to
bed early enough so that
you'll wake up without an
alarm clock. But remember
to adjust your sleeping time
to your activities. The more
tired you are, the more
sleep you'll need.
