1- A person’s record of insomnia is 18 months, 21 hours and 40 seconds. That record was broken in a rocking chair race. Most of those who participated in the competition and stayed up for a long time experienced hallucinations, paranoia, visual impairment, speech impairment, memory loss and difficulty concentrating.
2- It’s hard to call someone medically awake. Because people sleep frequently at short intervals, even with their eyes open, without even realizing it.
3- The ‘natural warning clock‘ that allows people to wake up at any time is triggered by a hormone caused by stress.
4- Our natural warning clock can be activated by a small light. But if we don’t want to wake up at this stage, then we’ll fall into a deep sleep again.
5- In the 1600s, adults slept nine hours to 10 hours.
6- In 1998, it was discovered that there was a relationship between the joints in the human back region and the sleep lobe of the brain.
7- The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil accident, the downing of the Challenger shuttle and the Chernobyl disaster are believed to have been caused by insomnia.
8- Dreams, which are said to have been seen during the fast eye movement (REM) period, were found to be able to meet in other parts of our sleep through research.
9- Dreams during the REM period were thought to be terrifying. However, it has been proven that bad dreams can be observed in the sleep ingress outside of REM.
10- Some characteristic eyelid movements during the REM period indicate specific moments in dreams. It’s like watching a movie.
11- Elephants sleep standing outside the REM section. However, they lie on the ground for the REM section.
12- If it takes you less than five minutes to fall asleep in the evening, you’re sleep-deprived. Normally, you have to fall asleep between 10 and 15 minutes.
13- Some scientists say we’re dreaming to stabilize our long-term memory experiences. And some people think we only dream about what we’re trying to forget.
14- The dream serves no purpose. It just shows the harmony of being conscious and sleepy.
15- British Defence Ministry investigators were able to adjust the soldiers’ body clocks and adjust them to 36 hours of sleep deprivation.
16- Humans sleep three hours less than monkeys who are the closest species.
17- Ducks who feel in danger can fill their sleep needs with the drive to live. So they can get to a half-sleep-half-awake stage.
18- Most of what we know about sleep is what we’ve learned in the last 25 years.
19- In a few days after the start of summer or winter time, the rate of accidents caused by sleep disturbances in Canada was found to increase.
20- The 24-hour uninterrupted internet is now seen as the biggest threat to sleep patterns.
