              Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you're 
              sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning 
              you're still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted 
              you feel sleepy by day. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abc.net.au/science/sleep/facts.htm"><P><FONT color="#ff0000">-</FONT> <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's 
              impossible to tell if someone is really awake without close medical 
              supervision. People can take cat naps with their eyes open without 
              even being aware of it.</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abc.net.au/science/sleep/facts.htm"><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The 
              record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 
              40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported 
              hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory 
              and concentration lapses.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abc.net.au/science/sleep/facts.htm"><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">

              One of the best predictors of insomnia later in life is the development 
              of bad habits from having sleep disturbed by young children. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abc.net.au/science/sleep/facts.htm"><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
