Are You Sleep Deprived?
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stppler, MD
Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD
No matter how much sleep you need, if you don’t get enough, you will suffer the effects of sleep deprivation. Research has shown that in tests of driving ability and hand-eye coordination, people deprived of sleep perform as badly as, or even worse than, people who are intoxicated. It’s no wonder that drowsiness is a major cause of traffic accidents and deaths.
How to Get Baby to Sleep?
After more than 2 years of sleep deprivation with both my babies things finally came to an end with our second daughter Fiona 2 months ago.
Fiona, our baby won’t go to sleep and tortured me and my wife with sleep deprivation every night for 6 months. For 3 months we had been taking her for a drive every night to get our baby to sleep. Sometimes it would take 5 minutes other times it would take one hour or more. I used to spend most my time walking around the house with her in my arms, trying to get her to sleep and stop crying. My wife was loosing weight, I always felt sick and was forgetful, and my friends constantly worried and told us how terrible we looked. I had to drive to work and take a 20 minute nap in the parking lot just to be able to function.

Getting 7-week-old back to sleep after feedings Feb 2004
I’m hoping that some of the moms out there will share their strategies for getting more sleep in the early months of motherhood. I have a delicious 7 week old son who does what most babies do at this age (I guess): He wakes up like clockwork every three hours to feed at night. Lately he has not been falling asleap easily after feedings as he did in the early days and it’s a matter of bouncing, swaddling, etc to get him back to sleep. He sleeps in a ”snuggle nest” in between my husband and I. He’s also started being very awake from about 2-5 am for the last week. I have heard that some people get used to the sleep deprivation. I can’t. I have always been sensitive to not getting enough sleep and this is really hard. I find it hard to nap in the day–he wants to be carried in the Bjorn all the time. This works as long as I’m upright–he sleeps a lot this way, deep long sleep. But if I lie down or lean back and he rests heavily against my chest he roots and tries to eat my clothes and wakes up fussing. If I take him out and put him in his bed he wakes up and fusses.
Is there anything I can do to get him to go longer stretches at night between feedings? Any suggestions for how to get him to go back to sleep quicker? One problem seems tobe that he falls alseap while eatting but when I pick him up to burp him he wakes up. But if I don’t burp him he’ll have gas, right? I know ”it gets better” (but when???) but in the meantime I’m SOOOO tired. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. tired new mom
Hi there- this sounds all too familiar… what i would recommend would be to (when he wakes up at night) to change his diaper first, then swaddle him up if you aren’t already doing it and then feed him. If he falls asleep at the breast, thats okay! If he’s sleeping, you don’t need to burp him unless he’s not asleep and seeming fussy from gas, then burp him. Otherwise, let him stay asleep because most likely he’s not bothered by the gas. Otherwise- stay patient- it is a phase and it will get better- remember he’s only 7 weeks old and babies take time to adjust to better sleep cycles.

8 INFANT SLEEP FACTS EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW
In order to better understand the how-to’s of getting you and your baby to enjoy going to sleep and staying asleep, here are some important principles of sleep that every new parent needs to understand.
1. How you sleep. After dressing or undressing for bed, most adults help themselves relax for sleep by performing various bedtime rituals: reading, listening to music, watching TV, or having sex. As you drift into sleep, your higher brain centers begin to rest; enabling you to enter the stage of deep sleep called “non-REM” (non-rapid eye movement — NREM), or deep sleep (also called quiet sleep). Your mind and body are quietest during this stage of sleep. Your body is still, your breathing is shallow and regular, your muscles are loose, and you’re really “zonked.” After about an hour and a half in this quiet sleep stage, your brain begins to “wake up” and start working, which brings you out of your deep sleep and into light sleep or active sleep, called rapid eye movement or “REM” sleep. During this stage of sleep your eyes actually move under your eyelids as your brain exercises. You dream and stir, turn over, and may even adjust the covers without fully awakening. It is during this sleep stage that you may fully awaken to go to the bathroom, then return to bed and fall back into a deep sleep. These alternating cycles of light and deep sleep continue every couple hours throughout the night, so that a typical adult may spend an average of six hours in quiet sleep and two hours in active sleep. Thus, you do not sleep deeply all night, even though you may feel as though you do.
2. How babies enter sleep. You’re rocking, walking, or nursing your baby and her eyelids droop as she begins to nod off in your arms. Her eyes close completely, but her eyelids continue to flutter and her breathing is still irregular. Her hands and limbs are flexed, and she may startle, twitch, and show fleeting smiles, called “sleep grins.” She may even continue a flutter-like sucking. Just as you bend over to deposit your “sleeping” baby in her crib so you can creep quietly away, she awakens and cries. That’s because she wasn’t fully asleep. She was still in the state of light sleep when you put her down. Now try your proven bedtime ritual again, but continue this ritual longer (about twenty more minutes). You will notice that baby’s grimaces and twitches stop; her breathing becomes more regular and shallow, her muscles completely relax. Her fisted hands unfold and her arms and limbs dangle weightlessly. Martha and I call this “limp-limb” sign of deep sleep. Baby is now in a deeper sleep, allowing you to put her down and sneak away, breathing a satisfying sigh of relief that baby is finally resting comfortably.
Babies need to be parented to sleep, not just put to sleep. Some babies can be put down while drowsy yet still awake and drift

9 Natural Cures for Insomnia: Ways to Help Fall Asleep for Restless Nights and Trouble Sleeping
9 Natural Cures for Insomnia Ways to Help Fall Asleep for Restless Nights and Trouble Sleeping
Jun 20, 2009 Victoria Anisman-Reiner
According to medical experts, insomnia affects roughly 32 million people in the United States alone – one in eight or nearly 12% of adults. Such a common problem has hundreds of treatments, but there’s still plenty of misinformation about what kinds of natural cures actually work for insomnia.
Sleep Disorders
Inter-Relationships Of Sleep, Fatigue, and HIV/AIDSAs new therapies extend life expectancy of HIV patients, long term adverse impacts on overall quality of life become increasingly important. Although relatively unstudied, sleep disturbance and fatigue are highly prevalent and disabling symptoms in a majority of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Caffeine is No Substitute for a NapNinety percent of Americans use caffeine daily, some substituting it for sleep. While the stimulant enhances alertness and concentration, it’s been unclear whether it also helps learning and memory. By contrast, daytime naps, like nighttime sleep, benefit both alertness and memory.
“Power Nap” Prevents Burnout–and Morning Sleep Helps Perfect a SkillEvidence is mounting that sleep–even a nap–appears to enhance information processing and learning. New experiments by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and Harvard University show that a midday snooze reverses information overload and that a 20% overnight improvement in learning a motor skill is largely traceable to a late stage of sleep that some early risers might be missing.
