This sounds interesting and scary at the same time. I’m wondering if it puts people into programming mode. By TOM WELLS SCIENTISTS have devised a way to cram a good night’s kip into THREE HOURS They have created a machine placed above the head like a “cap” that puts wearers in deep sleep. It could mean we all might one day wake up refreshed after just a few hours in the sack. The “power nap” treatment quickly puts people into a deep slumber by sending magnetic impulses into the skull to slow brain waves to their lowest level. The process is called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Professor Guilio Tononi, who led the research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, said: “Creating slow waves on demand could some day lead to treatments for insomnia. It could also lead to a magnetically-stimulated ‘power nap’ which might confer the benefit of eight hours sleep in just a few hours.” He said deep sleep treatment can improve people’s moods and ability to learn — and boost memory by allowing connections between brain cells to relax. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007210097,00.html

Interesting, but when you "push the button" and fall to sleep who will turn it off?  Anyway, this not gonna work. Too artificiall and people won`t accustom on that without some side effect. That is my opinion.

I would like to try it if it was safe to use. It would be nice to get a good nights sleep in 3 hours.

It would be helpful for insomnia suffers but a good night sleep requires a pattern, our body and mind must follow each important step for sleeping. Our minds can not just be switched off like that and either can our bodies. It can take up to 3 hours before you actually get into a deep sleep, each person differs, but how would your body release the correct amount of hormones during just 3 short hours? This would also affect your eyes as they were not designed to be open for 21 hours a day. I think that it would put you into altered state and would affect your body like an amphetamine abuser, long term would be distressing.

What you say makes sense but what about people who require less than the normal 8 hours of sleep? There are people who only sleep 1 to 6 hours a night and that’s all the sleep they need.

That is true Richard, I say there are ‘sleepers’ and ‘wakers’ , and it is the way you are born, you do not grow into it. Personally I get about 5 hours per night and that is enough for me, but some people can not get through the day without the 8 hours and some people can sleep until lunch time. as an example my oldest daughter is a sleeper, she will have a few late nights where she gets about 6 hours or less and then she will have to make it up with a big 14 hour sleep, many people are like this, she has always needed lots of sleep. It has to do with your programming and it is just the way you are designed, it has nothing to do with laziness either. In most cases, the sleepers take at least ½ hour to get to sleep and do tend to toss and turn, yet the wakers are in dreamland in 5 minutes. This is all theory and just my own observation over the years of people’s behavior.

This new cap they speak of would be a sure fire way to shatter my brain and make me insane. I cannot handle sleep deprivation.  I am soooooo much a sleeper. I get up between 5-6am every morning and need to be asleep by nine or ten PM the night before. This past Sunday I went to sleep after midnight -- there are a few nights I'm doing something and can't get to bed at a good time. I was thinking to myself on Sunday.... oh no problem, I'll be okay at work the next day. Well......... Monday at work I was soooo tired, it was awful. If I don't get enough sleep I actually get physically sick with dizziness, headache and upset stomach... oh yeah and rapid heartbeat. Every night it's the same... my head hits the pillow and I AM OUT.

My story is a lot like Sily’s. I’m a combination of a sleeper and a walker. I’m in dreamland a few minutes after I down but I need 8 hours of sleep to feel right. I feel tired all day and get headaches if I get less than 8.

Glad to hear that you both have no problems getting to sleep; it is very hard for people who toss and turn just trying to go to sleep and it is important for the health of the body and mind to be in a routine sleep pattern. Many parents complain about their teens over sleeping, but during the teen years there is no routine to going to bed and getting up, they fight with themselves to stay up late and the body is not used to it and they still need their 10 hours of sleep, they are growing and maturing and those teen years take so much out of the body and mind. We have a few high schools here that have started at 10 am instead of the usual 9am; they say that the teens come to school tired and useless, but at 10 they are ready to learn and cooperative.

DT is one of those people who toss and turn. She claims that she can lay in bed for 12 hours and only sleep for a few of those hours. That sounds cool about your schools starting at 10:00am. I would have liked that better when I was in school. I never was much of a morning person. Then I’ve spent so many years working second and third shift that I feel like a zombie when I have to get up early in the morning.

The schools that have introduced it claim to be very happy with the students and the change in their behavior. It is interesting how modern times do such things; my high school would never even listen to such a theory. Yes, there are many out there like DT and it must be very difficult for her, restlessness can make you extremely exhausted.

Someone once did a reading on my family (I wasn't present for the reading but listened to the tape) and they said that when I go to sleep I travel to other places and *assist others*. Maybe.... just maybe... some "sleepers", the people who are spending many hours snoring - are doing some cool.......  stuff, while they have their eyes closed.Maybe. :nod:

I'm always doing 'cool stuff' when I am asleep. In fact, I like my dream lives better than my awake life. But, yes, it is very hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep. I am constantly tossing and turning and getting angry when I hear my two 'boys' snoring...it's no fair...as soon as their heads hit the pillows, they are snoring.

First of all, one of them is a dog, and I don't think he would appreciate it.  Second of all, we tried all of that on Richard and it just doesn't work.

When I first got married I had to get used to sleeping with a snoring partner. G-Man is LOUD. But what was really surprising to me is G-Man said I snored like nobody's business. Not too loud he said but enough to have him shake me every so often. Here's the fun part of this story - - -> we taped ourselves one night. Turned on the cassette player and went to sleep. Not only was it oh sooooo funny to hear both me and better-half sawing wood, but the dogs joined in. I laughed so hard at the racket I heard from all of us. Then I had a thought.... :think: .... geez that sounds awful.

I remember when I was younger, my one sister and I would listen to my mom and dad having snoring contests at night. One would snore, then the other would snore a little louder, then the first one would snore even louder, and on and on it went, all night long.
