Sleep is a naturally recurring altered state of consciousness with relatively suspended sensory and motor activity, characterized by the inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but it is more easily reversible than hibernation or coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. It is observed in all mammals, all birds, and many reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

The purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and are the subject of intense research.

How can you sleep better at night without taking medications?
Q. Ok when i go to sleep, I cant sleep it takes a while (1 sometimes 2 hours or more) i close my eyes and all i see are images of the day, the upcoming day, i tried going to sleep early so i can wake up earlier i tried getting tired (working out playing ball or some) I try reading which works but only in school not at home. if i go to sleep late (2-6 am) i usually wake up at 9 i dont know why. But i dont wake up tired just normal but i know this will take its toll later on. So anyone with ideas..remember i dont want to take medication but if i do i'll see the doc. thanks.

How much sleep does your baby like during the day?
Q. My son is 5 months old and sleeps from 7pm-6am, but during the day he likes to have about a 30-45min sleep every 2hrs or he becomes really unsettled is this normal or is he sleeping to much?
Asked by hnybzthms - Wed Sep 3 07:31:09 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. My 6 month old sleeps about 10 hours at night and usually about 4 hours total during the day. I don't really think it seems like you baby is sleeping to much. He just maybe needs a little more sleep than other babies. And a bunch of short naps makes it seem like he sleeps a lot.

How much sleep should a high schooler get?
Q. I try to get at the least 9 hours but am told I should at least get 10. I have a tendency to sleep late and probably average 7 to 8 hours a school night of sleep. When I wake up I tell my sleep I will sleep early since I am so tired but that never happens. So how much sleep should a highschooler get? I always seem tired throughout the day and I hate it but don't want to sleep soo early either.
