Questions56-60  In Dr. William Dement’s new book, he argues that a good night’s sleep saves lives. “There is plenty ofcompelling evidence supporting the argument that sleep is the most important predictor of how long youwill live, perhaps more important than whether you smoke, exercise, or have high blood pressure orcholesterol level,” says Dement. Dement wants to alert the world about the power of sleep. He feelsfrustrated that so many people sacrifice sleep to meet the demands of endless days, that unnoticed sleepdisorders shorten lives with heart attacks and strokes, and that people fall asleep while driving and causefatal crashes. “I know about so many tragedies that I can’t even think about them anymore because I start to cry,”Dement said. A healthy person needs about seven to eight hours of sleep to feel wide awake and energeticfor the entire day. If you brag that you can get by on just a few hours a night or if you feel you need nine toten hours of slumber every night to feel good, you may need a sleep checkup. “When people think aboutsleep, they think about only one problem and that’s insomnia--when it’s really a vast terrain,” Dementsays. Other disorders include sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing repeatedly during the night). Inhis book, Dement reports that every night more than 50 million Americans stop breathing and that apneaannually causes an estimated 38,000 fatal heart attacks and strokes in the United States. Apnea also causesextreme fatigue. Here is the good news: with treatment, sleep apnea can often be cured. When you sleep right, you rise feeling fresh and renewed. Your senses soak up simple pleasures, suchas the clean smell of the air. It is Dement’s wish that everyone has that feeling, every day.
