It's All About the Zzz's
Electric Feel
Some researchers believe that before electricity, most humans slept in two cycles — a few hours after dark, a brief wake-up time and another sleep cycle also lasting three to four hours.
Baby Brain
Premature babies have about 10 percent more REM sleep than full-term babies. Doctors believe that REM-stage sleep, or dream-state sleep, can help brains develop.
Snore 911
Tom Cruise’s snoring is apparently so bad he sleeps in a sound-proof snoratorium. Which sounds like a thing my dad needs.
Sleep Like Churchill
Winston Churchill, former prime minister of England, reportedly only slept two and a half hours every night. He would take his short nap at 5 p.m., after quaffing a weak whiskey and soda. So, at least your baby has a sleep habit of a highly successful man.
Eyes Wide Open
Some people can sleep with their eyes open. Which means you are right, your husband is napping, not listening to you.
Sleep Drunk
Drowsiness is like drunkenness. Seventeen hours of wakefulness is the equivalent to a blood alcohol level of .05%. This explains why new moms and drunken college students dress the same way — in their pajamas with puke stains.
