SLEEP
• The average adult needs to sleep 7 to 9 hours per night. Napoleon Bonaparte needed only four to six hours of sleep a night, as did Thomas Edison and Winston Churchill. However, Albert Einstein is said to have spent about ten hours a night in bed. It is not true that older people need less sleep. However, over 50% of people over 64 years old suffer from some type of sleep disorder. (continued next page)

by Janet Spencer In an average lifetime, a human will spend 25 years sleeping. A person can survive longer without food than they can without sleep. Come along with Tidbits as we doze off! SLEEP ON IT • The word “sleep” comes from the German adjective “schlapp” meaning “weak” or “limp.” The same root word also gave us the word “slack.” • We think of going to sleep as a gradual procedure, where we slowly drift off. However, going to sleep is actually an instantaneous process: one second the organism is aware— the next second it is not. • There has never been documented proof of a human who did not sleep. The record for the least amount of sleep needed on a regular basis is held by two Australians who required less than three hours of sleep per night. Both were active men with full-time jobs.

SLEEP ON IT (continued) A pregnant woman will generally sleep up to two hours a night longer than she did before she got pregnant. Newborns sleep a total of 14 to 17 hours a day on an irregular schedule with periods of one to three hours spent awake. Although it’s possible to force yourself to stay awake, it is impossible to force yourself to stay asleep. The longest recorded sleep period was 17 hours by a person who had been deprived of sleep in the prior few days. He was able to sleep only 5 hours the next night. A survey showed that people who characteristically get ten hours of sleep suffered twice as many heart attacks and three and a half times as many strokes as people who slept seven hours or less. SLEEP SCHEDULES Two experimenters spent two months living in the darkness of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky in 1938. For the first month they lived 21-hour days using electric lights; and for the second month they lived 28-hour days. Although the men felt that they had adjusted to the new schedule, their bodies showed through blood and urine tests and temperature readings that they were still operating on a 24-hour cycle. People who are transferred to the perpetual night of the Arctic tend to sleep about an hour longer than they did prior to going there. One experiment placed volunteers alone in a completely dark sound-proof room, with gloves to reduce sensations. The object was to see how much time a human would spend sleeping when there was absolutely nothing to do. On the first day, the subjects slept 12 to 14 hours. But as time passed, the amount of sleep decreased until after one week they were sleeping six hours or less each day. This suggested to researchers that wakefulness is the basic state of the brain.

Amazing Animals
BIRD BRAINS • In ancient Greece the owl was associated with Athena, goddess of wisdom, and so came to symbolize wisdom. But is an owl wise? And should you really feel insulted if someone calls you “birdbrain”? Actually, the brain of most birds is big and heavy in proportion to body weight. However, an owl doesn’t match many birds (such as the goose, raven, or common crow) for intelligence. • In experiments done at Harvard, pigeons were taught they would receive a food reward when they pecked at a picture of a human. They were then shown all manner of photos, but they proved they understood the concept of “human” when they pecked at pictures of infants and old people alike, of every race, every culture, and every size. They pecked at pictures of the back of a human head, or a single hand, or only a foot. They pecked at pictures of nude humans, humans wearing strange clothing, and pictures containing a tiny human head in a group photo of animals. Likewise, when pigeons were taught to peck at pictures of water, they pecked at pictures of oceans, brooks, sink taps, and puddles in the middle of the road. However, they did not peck at a picture of the road taken after the puddles had dried up. • Pigeons strapped in cages to the undersides of helicopters have been trained to peck a switch whenever they see the colors orange, yellow, or red. The helicopters then fly over the ocean in areas where planes or ships have gone down. When a pigeon spots orange life vests, yellow rafts, or red flares, they peck the signal and are rewarded with food. Pigeons score 90% every time, compared to only 40% for humans.

BIRD BRAINS (cont’d) Some types of birds such as warblers and kingfishers will build nests next to a wasp or hornet nest to help ward off predators. Eleven different species of birds in Britain learned how to remove the tin foil and cardboard caps on milk bottles left on porches and doorsteps so they could help themselves to a free meal. They also followed milkmen on their routes. A type of bird called a black kite which lives in India is known as a “fire hawk” because of its habit of picking up burning twigs from fires, then dropping them into dry grass in order to flush small animals which flee from the resulting fire. Penguins return to the very same nest year after year, building it up with new stones in a ring. When they return to their nesting grounds each year, the old nest will be buried under several feet of snow. Still, the penguins immediately begin to pile up stones on top of the snow. When the snow melts, the new stones will settle exactly on top of the old. Observers watching peregrine falcons have seen them teaming up to teach their young how to catch prey on the wing. One parent, carrying prey, will fly above the offspring while the other flies below the offspring. The prey is dropped, and if the youngster fails to nab it as it falls, the parent below will catch it. The two parents will then switch places and continue dropping the prey until Junior catches on. Researchers once put a shearwater (a bird that migrates from Pole to Pole) into a dark box and released it in Britain 3,000 miles (4,828 km) from its home. The bird found its way back to its home nest in 12 days— flying across open ocean at a rate of 250 miles (402 km) per day.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your curiosity might not be appreciated by everyone. Expect some resistance in getting answers to your questions. But stay with it. You need facts in order to make important decisions. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some of the mystery surrounding your recent fiscal situation soon will be dispelled with a clear explanation. Use this new knowledge to help you chart a fresh financial course. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Start your Hanukkah and Christmas gift-buying now. This will help avoid problems caused by possible mid-December delays. A family member has important information. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Use a little more sense in how you plan to spend your end-of-the-year holiday dollars. Meanwhile, you continue to gain support for your stand on a workplace issue. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Wearing that big, loving Lion’s heart of yours on your sleeve leaves it unprotected. Let things develop a little more before you allow your emotions to spill over. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to September 22) You might feel you’re not ready to patch up an unraveled relationship. But the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be for all parties to take the first healing step.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your end-of-the-year holiday plans could be disrupted by something out of your control, but stay the course. Ultimately, things will settle back into a normal pace. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your honest approach to a workplace project earns you both respect and credit from those in charge. Meanwhile, that personal problem still needs to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Money could be a little tight this month. This means the usually bargain-oblivious Sagittarian should look for ways to save on endof-the-year holidays. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Examine the facts, and you might find that it’s a wiser move to shift gears and redirect some of your goals before the end of the year. Someone close to you offers good advice. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Be careful that your generosity is not abused. Find out more, both about the special favors you might be asked to grant and who is asking for them. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’ve come through a recent rough time in great shape. Congratulations. Now go out and enjoy your well-earned rewards. More good news comes in mid-December. BORN THIS WEEK: You aim for truth, and you usually find it. Your honesty earns you the friendship and respect of others. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
