National
Sleep Foundation 2007 Survey on WomenNSF’s
2007 Sleep in America poll sought to look at the sleep patterns of
adult women (ages 18-64), as the NSF’s 2005 Sleep in America poll on
men AND woman found women more likely to experience sleep problems than
men.
highlights:
60% of woman
get a good night's sleep a few weeks or less (page 16) 46% experience
sleep problems EVERY NIGHT (page 17) 29% use sleep

for Sleep Washington, DC, March 6, 2007 – More than half of
American women (60%) say they only get a good night’s sleep a few
nights per week or less and 67% say they frequently experience a sleep
problem. Additionally, 43% say that daytime sleepiness interferes with
their daily activities, according to a new poll released today by the
National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Women’s lack of sleep affects
virtually every aspect of their time-pressed lives, leaving them late
for work, stressed out, too tired for sex and little time for their
friends. Recent News

Sleep
in Menopausal Woman
ATLANTA, March 16 - Nearly half of menopausal women
have sleep disturbances every night, and one-quarter have sleep
disturbances several times a night, says a U.S. survey. The survey
found 55 percent had not discussed their sleep disturbances with their
doctor and 47 percent reported their health care provider had not
offered any treatment for their sleep disturbances. National Sleep Foundation 2006 Survey of Children and Adolescents
highlights:
• Overall, 45%
of adolescents get an insufficient amount of sleep on school nights
(less than 8 hours). •
In addition, about three in ten (31%) get a borderline amount of sleep
(8 to less than 9 hours). This leaves only 20% of adolescents getting the
optimal amount of sleep (9 hours or more). – Specifically
among 6th to 8th grade adolescents, about two in ten (21%) get an
insufficient amount of sleep on

Survey highlights pdf from NSF
Nearly all adolescents (97%) have at least one electronic item – such
as a TV, computer,
phone or music device – in their bedroom. On average, 6th-graders have
more than two of
these items in their bedroom, while 12th-graders have about four.
Adolescents with four
or more such items in their bedrooms are almost twice as likely to fall
asleep in school
and while doing homework.

America’s Sleep-Deprived Teens Nodding Off at School, New National
Sleep Foundation Poll Finds
Washington, D.C., March 28, 2006 ─ Many of the nation’s adolescents are
falling asleep in class, arriving late to school, feeling down and
driving drowsy because of a lack of sleep that gets worse as they get
older, according to a new poll released today by the National Sleep
Foundation (NSF). In a national survey on the sleep patterns of U.S.
adolescents (ages 11-17), NSF’s 2006 Sleep in America poll finds that
only 20% of adolescents get the recommended nine hours of sleep on
school nights, and nearly one-half (45%) sleep less than eight hours on
school nights.National Sleep Foundation 2005 Survey of American Adults
highlights:
The
2005 survey indicate that more adults are experiencing sleep problems
on a regular basis. A large majority (75%) report having had at least
one symptom of a sleep problem a few nights a week or more within the
past year. This continues an
upward trend in the prevalence of sleep problems since 1999
(from 62% who experienced a sleep problem a few nights a week or more
in 1999 and 2000 to 69% in 2001, 74% in 2002, and 75% in 2005). (PAGE
18) About
one-half of the respondents surveyed (54%) report that, within the past
year, they have experienced at least one symptom of insomnia at least a
few nights a week, with one-third (33%) saying they have experienced at
least one symptom every night or almost every night. (PAGE 20) One-half
of all respondents (50%) report feeling tired, fatigued or not up to
par during wake time at least one day a week, with 17%saying this
happens every day or almost every day. (PAGE 26) About
one-fourth of the respondents who are partnered (23%) report that their
intimate or sexual relationship has been affected because they have
been too sleepy. That is, they had sex less often or lost interest in
having sex because they were too sleepy.(PAGE 31) March '05 NSF

Foundation Poll Finds Sleep Problems Widespread, Often Ignored, with
Far Reaching Consequences WASHINGTON,
DC, March 29 –Many of America’s adults are sleeping poorly, and it’s
taking a serious toll on professional relationships, productivity,
public safety and even the most intimate aspects of our lives,
according to a new poll released today by the National Sleep Foundation
(NSF). The poll shows that sleep problems are widespread and on the
rise, but they are often ignored. NSF’s
Sleep in America poll finds 75% of adults frequently have a symptom of
a sleep problem such as waking a lot during the night, or snoring.
Largest
Study Finds Evidence Of Association Between 60 Hz EMFs And Exposed
Worker Suicide "One biologically plausible explanation
is that EMFs depress production
of melatonin, a hormone that's important for sleep and mood," he said.
"Decreases in melatonin can lead to depression, which in turn can lead
to suicide." Rats subjected to these electromagnetic fields showed
altered production and excretion of the hormone but comparable data on
humans is limited and inconclusive, the scientist said. The possibility
suggested by the new findings that EMFs could affect young workers more
than older ones is entirely new, he added.
Exposure
To Low-level Magnetic Fields Causes DNA Damage In Rat Brain Cells,
Researchers FindScience
Daily — Prolonged exposure to low-level 60 Hz magnetic fields, similar
to those emitted by common household devices like blow dryers, electric
blankets and razors, can damage brain cell DNA, according to
researchers in the University of Washington's Department of
Bioengineering. The scientists further found that the damage from brief
exposures appears to build up over time. In the study, the researchers
discovered that rats exposed to a 60-hertz field for 24 hours showed
significant DNA damage, and rats exposed for 48 hours showed even more
breaks in brain cell DNA strands. Exposure also resulted in a marked
increase in brain cell apoptosis, or "cell suicide," a process in which
a cell self-destructs because it can't repair itself. These effects
appear to be cumulative.

children are being diagnosed with adult onset diabetes. New research
strongly suggests the mechanism causing poor sleep and how quickly poor

Futuristic Sleep Machine
Reality Now May 08, 2007 - Those seeking improved sleep can
switch on EarthPulse Sleep on Command™
device designed to enforce Delta rhythm sleep and the recovery that
best occurs during deep, slow-wave, Delta-stage sleep.
-- A new sleep study published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences could provide a
mechanism for what a small Florida biotech firm has known for 5 years;
that artificially created Delta rhythm magnetic signals enhance and
prolong deep sleep. Friday's University
of Wisconsin sleep study
disclosed that "With a single pulse, we were able to induce a wave that
looks identical to the waves the brain makes normally during sleep."
The study shows that magnetic signals may produce exactly the same
effects as weak electric signals used in a recent sleep study from the
University of Lubeck, Germany.

Suggest External 'Brain Wave' for Sound Sleep and Improved Memory
March 10, 2007 Those
seeking improved sleep should seek to enforce their delta rhythm brain
waves via externally applied delta rhythm stimulation. In Boosting Slow Oscillations During Sleep
Potentiates Memory
the researchers at the University of Lubeck, Germany showed that by
applying slowly oscillating (.75 Hz.) stimulation they induced an
immediate increase in spectral power at the same slow wave (Delta)
frequency band, increased endogenous cortical slow oscillations and
increased slow spindle activity in the frontal cortex resulting in
improved slow wave sleep and subsequently better memory consolidation.
