Wenatex Blog :: Healthy Sleep for a Better Life

Why we sleep is an absolutely fascinating subject and one that scientists are still struggling to answer. I have just been reading some truly excellent articles on scientific aspects of sleep that covers everything from the stages of sleep, to the consequences of sleep deprivation, to how animals sleep. Find the first article here at http://www.sciencenews.org/view/feature/id/48212/title/The_Science_of_Slumber but make sure you scroll down and click on some of the links to the other articles in the series.

Please share your sleep stories or just let me know your thoughts.

I saw an excellent documentary on SBS last night (27/5/09) called Dead Tired. It was one part of a two part series. I was particularly interested in an experiment that was conducted on a young healthy man where he slept for three hours each night for a week. After six days, he really was in terrible shape and the experiment was cut short.

Update (30/7/10) - We are happy to announce that we have acquired this documentary and you can find the links on the homepage of the Wenatex website. Go to www.wenatex.com.au and click the links to watch full episodes.

I found it fascinating, I hope you do too! Please let me know what you think.
