  • Release Info
    PROLOG: FEDERWEG 22 3008 BERN +41(0)79 222 69 75 WWW.PROLOG-MUSIC.CH Release Info: Artist: Akku Quintet Album-Title: Stages Of Sleep Format: Album Label: Morpheus Records Distribution CH: Godbrain Full Album Stream: http://akkuquintet.bandcamp.com/album/stages-of-sleep We spend about one third of our life sleeping. However, we know relatively little about this vital necessity. When sleeping the body proceeds into a state of external rest. Pulse and respiratory rate drop, and cerebral activity changes. While falling asleep and waking up dreams and actualities merge into a strange reality. We drift into a sea of dreams and imaginary worlds. Mostly we only remember dream scraps or mood images which suddenly reappear in the middle of everyday life. What we really "experience" in the parallel world of sleep and what happens within our brains remains a mystery. Why do we sleep and what happens to us while we apparently do nothing? Everyone who knows the "snooze" button knows what it feels like to be drifting back and forth between sleep and wakefulness. The morning confrontation with this phenomenon fascinated the Bernese drummer and composer Manuel Pasquinelli and led to his idea to set music to a sleep cycle. Inspired by the dreamy and scientific aspects of sleep, these compositions have grown to a "dream suite" over the past 2-3 years. This musical sleep cycle can now be listened to on the debut album "Stages Of Sleep" by Pasquinelli's band AKKU quintet . Every piece corresponds to one of the five stages of sleep, which we live through several times a night.

  • Healthy Sleep Habits for Older Children and Teens
    Healthy Sleep Habits for Older Children and Teens Sleep is important at all ages. Sleep problems are common among many children and teens and can affect their focus while at school, work, or home. Not enough sleep (sleep deprivation) can also affect their mood, behavior, emotional health, and weight. Almost one-fourth of all children have some type of sleep problem. Poor sleep habits are often to blame. But sometimes the cause is a medical condition. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that children get the following amount of sleep every day: Gradeschoolers 6 to 12 years get 9 to 12 hours Teens aged 13 to 18 get 8 to 10 hours. As a child gets older and reaches puberty, sleep patterns may change. Your child may want to sleep longer in the mornings and stay awake later at night, even though the time needed to wake up for school does not change. What to do Make it a family priority to get enough sleep. Set clear limits, such as what time lights must be turned off. Have a bedtime routine. - Do relaxing things to help wind down, like taking a bath, listening to music, or reading a book. - Create a soothing environment. Make sure the room is not too cold or too hot and dim the lights. It is okay to use a nightlight. - Spend some special time with your child before turning the lights off. Stick to topics that will not upset him or her. - Set an alarm clock for the morning wake-up time.

  • Sleep Training
    Sleep Training What Is Sleep training? Sleep training is more than just a nice way of saying "cry-it-out". Sleep training is a method by which the parent creates an environment for an infant to learn how to maintain sleep. Why do I have to do this? For some infants sleep comes easily and quickly. As soon as the body no longer needs nutrition in the night, the baby sleeps through without any perceived awakenings. Unfortunately, most babies (and some adults) need to be taught to maintain sleep. We all wake up in the middle of the night. Most of us will look at the clock, roll into another position, find the cold side of the pillow and will go back to sleep. The reason we do this is because we have trained ourselves to fall asleep without sleep props and we have trained ourselves to not be alarmed by these awakenings. Many infants need to be taught this skill. Unfortunately, many infants think that they need to eat in the middle of the night. They think that because we have taught them to think that. As newborns they did need to eat in the middle of the night but at some point (probably around 3 months of age) that need no longer existed but since it was habit, it kept going. Your job now is to teach your baby that it is not necessary to eat in the middle of the night and when (s)he comes to wakefulness to go back to sleep without the assistance of a parent.

  • How Does Pre-Sleep Usage of LED Screen Technology Affect Sleeping Behavior And
    1 How Does Pre-Sleep Usage of LED Screen Technology Affect Sleeping Behavior and Academic Achievement? A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Educational Studies College of Education, Criminal Justice, & Human Services by Jessica L. Kestler MS, Ohio University, 2010 BS, Ohio University, 2008 Committee: Linda Plevyak, PhD, Chair Anna F. DeJarnette, PhD Ellen Lynch, PhD 2 Abstract The use of LED technology before bedtime reawakens the brain due to the blue light that emulates daylight. This delays sleep onset causing sleep deprivation, which affects academic achievement for college students. To date, no current studies explore how all three variables are influenced by one another. College students (n =151; mean age= 20.35) were recruited to complete a weekly sleep journal to determine the impact that usage of LED technology has on sleep and the resulting influence on academic achievement. Participants also completed existing measurement questionnaires (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS], Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire [MSLQ], & 3x2 Achievement Goal Theory [AGT]) to assess how sleep deprivation influences daytime sleepiness and motivational strategies for mastery learning and achievement goals. Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) was first conducted to test whether parametric and non- parametric statistics were more applicable for the data. Then, partial least squares structure equation modeling software “SmartPLS”, was used to perform path analysis to examine the significance of the stated hypotheses. Most notably, results indicated that students who reported increased usage of LED light technology before bed reported increased time falling asleep and decreased total sleep duration.

  • SECOND WIND Everything You Need to Know for Your Adventure!
    SECOND WIND Everything you need to know for your adventure! 1 Let's Go! Thank you for entrusting our team with your child for what we believe could be two of the most significant weeks of their lives. We consider it a sacred trust to lead, encourage, guide, and pray for your child as they prepare to navigate the pivotal high school years and beyond. Many parents ask "What will my son or daughter experience during their time at Second Wind?" That's a great question. Our primary focus is to help students take ownership of their faith. To do this, we place your child on a team of similar age guests with one of our highly trained college-age coaches. We recognize if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together! Secondly, we share from our personal lives how to practically live out the Great Commandment: how to love God and then how to love others. Most young adults are information rich and experience poor, so we combine our con- tent with real life adventures so that students return home with life principles for the questions they are asking. Thirdly, we remove distractions, including their technology, so they can properly take time to evaluate their lives based on the content we share. We often say, a life not evaluated is not worth living but if you live life right, once is enough! My first step into the JH "Everlasting Adventure" was in 2000 as a volunteer during a one-year university exchange program in the US from my home country, Australia.

Before the invention of electric lights, typical adults slept for 9 hours. When all cues to time of day are removed, typical adults will average 10.3 hours of sleep daily, similar to their cousins, the apes and monkeys. However, studies show that the length of sleep is not what causes us to be refreshed upon waking. The key factor is the number of complete sleep cycles we enjoy. Each sleep cycle contains five distinct phases, which exhibit different brain wave patterns (see more in chapter 2): Pre-sleep: beta waves, or normal alertness.
