The secrets of
sleepThe secret of sleep were a mystery for centuries
simply because there was neither the means to explore them, nor the need. Only
when candles
gave away to gaslight, and gas to
electricity, when man became able to
convert night into
day, and double his output by working shifts round the clock, did people
seriously start wondering if sleep could possibly be a waste of time. Our
ability to switch night into day is very recent, and it is questionable if we
will ever either want, or be able, to give up our habit of enjoying a good
night's sleep. However, a remarkable research project in London has already discovered a few people
who actually enjoy insomnia. Even chronic insomniacs often get hours more sleep
than they think. But by placing electric contacts beside the eyes and on the
head, it is possible to check their complaint by studying the tiny currents we
generate which reveal the different brainwaves of sleep and wakefulness. This
has shown that for some people seven or eight hours of sleep a night are quite
unnecessary.
A lot of recent work has shown that
too much sleep is bad for you, so that if you are fortunate enough to be born
with a body which needs only a small amount of sleep, you may well be healthier
and happier than someone who sleeps longer.
Every attempt to unravel the secret
of sleep, and be precise about its function, raises many problems. The sleeper
himself cannot tell what is going on and, even when he wakes, has only a very
lazy idea of how good or bad a night he has had. The research is expensive and
often unpopular, as it inevitably involves working at night. Only in the last few
years have experts come up with theories about the function of sleep and the
laws which may govern it
The real advance in sleep research
came in 1937 with the use of the electroencephalogram. This machine showed
small – 50 microvolt – changes in the brain, so, for the first time, we could
observe sleep from moment to moment. Before that time one could put the person
to bed, watch him mumble, toss, turn, bring back a few rough memories of dreams
and that was about all. In 1937 it was possible to read out these changes,
second by second. Then in 1959 two other things happened.
Kleitman
and Aserinky, as they were looking at eye movements, trying to understand the
brainwaves, noticed that after about ninety minutes there would be a burst of
the EEG, as if the person is a wake, and the eyes would move rapidly. It was
not hard to guess that maybe that was a dream. And indeed it was. Waking up
people during that period, they found they were dreaming; waking them up at
other periods, they found no dreams.
The electroencephalograph shows that
when we fall asleep we pass through a cycle of sleep stages. At the onset of
sleep, the cycle lasts about ninety minutes during which you pass through
stages one, two and three to stage four. This is the deepest form of sleep, and
from it you retreat to stage two, and from there into REM, or rapid eye
movement sleep. Here, for ten minutes on the first cycle and then gradually
longer, it is thought that we do most of our dreaming.
Studies of people who volunteered to
be locked up for weeks in an observation chamber with no idea of whether it is
night or day, give remarkable results. We are not, in fact, twenty- four – hour
creatures. Put people in such circumstances and, even though the patterns of
sleep continue, the day is extended to about twenty –five and a half hours.
Without any
clues to time, these people go to sleep the
first night about an hour later than usual, the next night an hour later, and
the next night. So that, after about ten days, the person is going to sleep at three o'clock in the afternoon,
thinking that he is still going to sleep at midnight.
Today, jet – lag is a familiar
hazard for the seasoned traveler. Travel across time zones plays havoc with the
biological cock rhythms of human body. For the active pilot, who is rarely in
one place long enough to know if it is time for breakfast or dinner, the impact
of jet- lag on his sleep is critical.
Several air disasters have been partly caused by over tired pilot ignoring the
natural laws of sleep. Much research is directed to finding out what these laws
are and to what extent pilots and astronauts dare disobey them. But they are
laws which affect all of us, not just pilots.
