when we were young.. i think the worst thing we all heard was when our mom says: it is time to go to sleep... yala
A good question...is really good?? why and how??
and is it good when we get older and doctors ??
another question in physiology
try to answer this by yourselves and i will answer later on ...after three-five days as the rules of the BCMF

ها يا جماعة يا نعسانين !!!

اشو الكل نايم ومدا يعرف ليش ينام !!!

The thing is I'm not quite getting your question !!!

I mean what is exactly it that you're asking about??? What is it you're asking whether it's good or not??? Sleeping??? or parents forcing their kids to sleep?? or are you referring to regular and irregular sleeping??

أحلى شي النوم
طبعا مفييييييييييد
حتى طبيب العيون كلي نام هوايه بعد شكو!

i think that sleeping is important but not 4 long hours (we don`t need that)..4 me i hate sleeping i feel that it`s awaste of time & when we r asleep we miss alot of things..Bas shensawi

I heard that children need about 10 hours of sleep/day..&this need decreses as the child grows,but i donnu why

yalla doctor,solve it

As you know ...sleeping is two stages
Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) in the first half an hour ,,which has another four stages:
stage I and stage II : alpha waves
stage III and IV : delta waves
(stage IV is the deepest sleeping)
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) which also take half an hour
During stage IV we produce Growth Hormone (GH) ... so we grow and become taller,,,and during REM we store information and become wise
So...
we need to sleep always
Let me tell you this real story
A basketball player "really don't remember his name" when he was about to take 50 000 000 $ (that is 50 million dollars) ,,during an interview..he was aksed what what his favorite thing to do when he was child beside playing basketball..he replied: sleeping !!!
so did you know now why you didn't have 50 million dollars now??? because you didn't hear what your mother said and went to sleep early
but you still have time now to get ...... dollars...if you sleep well before the tests, the information you read for the test will be stroed and you can remember them in the test and get good scores....in shaa allah

For me sleeping is very necessery (not less that 7-8 hours/day at least) , i can't do anything when in sleepy, i can't think well and being is sleeping is the only thing that can get me in a bad mood !!!! seriously !!

Thank you dear doctor for this topic, We need more REM sleep :D REM is the best

thx 4 the explanation dr.

I like sleeping veru much ( may b more than 12 hours )
حتى اصدقائي مرات ايسموني خلفة مال النوم

Dear doctors
I've got new information about sleep
the cerebral cortex shows the greatest effect be sleep deprivation, but i can cope with one night sleep loss.
But only about one-third of the sleep in made up...80% of the stage 4 and only 1/2 of REM stage...
the more the time of wkefulness, the more REM is lost
REM appears to increase somewhat in both adult and children in time of learning
REM is important to get the most out of studying and the long term memory is consolidated
REM is more in the last half of the sleep
in sleep deprivation, there is increase in cortisol level and decrease in lymphocyte count...
SO
if you are studying and when you wake up in the morning without remembering that you have a dream....your study is not that effective...it is not consolidated...
so
sleep
sleep
sleep
in the time of the exams till you are awake and you have a dream
hope you don't have nightmares
and everyone will dream with his/her soulmate
so that this will be an intersting event in our day especially in the test days
Good night doc
