TIDBITS® CATCHES SOME Z-Z-Z’S

by Kathy Wolfe It’s something that you do every single day of your existence, but how much do you really know about sleep? Tidbits has some lesser-known facts about one of life’s necessities – shut-eye!

• When you’re asleep, your body may be resting but your brain certainly isn’t! It remains hard at work constantly giving orders to the body’s various systems to keep it breathing, pumping blood, and digesting. Shortterm memories are recorded in the brain during sleep. Did you know that sleeping shortly after learning something new will actually improve your ability to remember it?

• Rapid eye movement, or REM sleep, is characterized by rapid and random movement of the eyes and accounts for about 25% of a total night’s sleep, 90 to 120 minutes. Prior to that are stages of light sleep, when our eye movements stop and brain waves are extremely slow. The first period of REM occurs about 90 minutes after a person falls asleep and lasts about 10 minutes. A sleeper will experience about four or five periods of REM, with each lengthening toward morning. Brain activity is heightened and this is the time of intense dreaming.

• Sleep deprivation has numerous negative effects on the body’s functions and well-being. A recent Harvard study has tied insufficient or irregular sleep to an increased risk for colon cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease in those who slept less than six hours a night. A shortage of sleep Turn to page 2 for more!

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read in a guide to cutting dogs’ toenails that “styptic” will stop bleeding if you cut their paws. What is that, and where do I get it? -- Perry in Dallas DEAR PERRY: Styptic powder can be used on small nicks and tiny cuts to stop bleeding and reduce pain. That’s helpful when trimming pets’ toenails, which can be a traumatic experience for them, especially if you should trim a little too far up the nail and accidentally cut the quick. The powder is applied with a cotton ball or soft cloth. Most owners keep it right next to them as they trim their pets’ nails, so it can be applied immediately.

In fact, styptic powder should be an essential part of something every pet owner should have: an easy-to-ac-

cess first-aid kit for their pets. You don’t have to buy a complete kit; you can assemble a few key items and store them in a tightly sealed plastic container.

In addition to the powder, a pet first-aid kit should have gauze and tape, a small bar of soap, a disinfectant like hydrogen peroxide or alcohol wipes, Benadryl (plain, with no ibuprofen or acetaminophen), cotton balls and disinfecting hand wash (for you). Its main purpose is to treat small cuts and scrapes, but you can add other items that you think are essential, including the veterinarian’s phone number, extra identification tags, copies of your pet’s shot records and a spare leash.

More ideas can be found at the Humane Society of the United States’ website.

can put the body into a state of “high alert,” which can drive up blood pressure, putting a person at risk for heart attack and stroke. Just one extra hour a night can decrease your heart attack risk by 33%. And consider what that extra sleep will do for your family, social, and work relationships when you are less irritable, impatient, anxious, and depressed!

• Lack of sufficient sleep can even lead to obesity! The hormones leptin and ghrelin are instrumental in controlling feelings of hunger and fullness. Inadequate sleep can increase production of ghrelin, which stimulates the appetite, raising the sensation of hunger by as much as 25%. Leptin signals the brain when the body is full, but not enough shut-eye drives leptin levels down. Combine these two and it’s a recipe for obesity.

• Even an increase in wrinkles can occur when you don’t get enough rest. Your body releases extra cortisol, the “stress hormone” when you don’t get enough rest. Cortisol breaks down the skin’s collagen, that substance that maintains skin’s elasticity.

• It’s a little alarming to know that 23% of commercial airline pilots admit that sleep deprivation affects their performance at least once a week. One-fifth of those surveyed disclosed that they have made serious mistakes as a result. Fourteen percent of truck drivers confess a “near miss” due to lack of sleep, while 44% of them say they never or rarely get enough sleep on work nights.

• Staying awake for just 17 hours leads to decreased performance equivalent to a blood alcohol level of 0.05%. No sleep for 21 hours is comparable to 0.08% blood alcohol content.

• How do you know if you’re sleep deprived? A sure sign is if it takes you less than five minutes to fall asleep at night. The optimum amount of time is between 10 and 15 minutes. Other symptoms include irritability, nervousness, and inability to tolerate stress, and problems with concentration and memory. You might also notice blurred vision, hand tremors, or a change in appetite.

• We each have an internal “master clock” in our brains that coordinates the rhythm of our body’s functions.

Known as the “circadian clock,” it is affected by external environmental factors, with light as the main factor influencing our 24-hour circadian cycle. These rhythms influence our sleep cycles, hormone release, and body temperature, and function best with a normal light-dark cycle. This master clock controls the productions of the hormone melatonin, the one that makes us sleepy. When there is less light, the clock tells the brain to produce more melatonin, resulting in drowsiness. When a person’s work hours are scheduled during the normal sleep period, it’s difficult to stay awake, but it can also be a health risk. It’s believed that melatonin protects the body against cancer. For those who are exposed to light at night, melatonin levels are reduced, and researchers believe those people are more prone to colon and breast cancer.

• Studies indicate that the risk of cardiovascular disease declines significantly when a person regularly sleeps seven hours a night.

• It’s estimated that sleeplessness contributes to one in six fatal highway accidents. It seems that men are more likely than women to drive while drowsy and twice as likely as women to fall asleep while driving. Also related to gender, women need about an hour more sleep per night, yet are twice as likely to have insomnia. Unfortunately, the loss of that hour, coupled with stress level, biological stages, and responsibilities makes them more prone to depression.

• A lack of sleep decreases your attention and concentration and inhibits the cementing of memories, so that you cannot remember what you learn from day to day. A scientific study has determined that a 60 to 90 minute nap can be as beneficial as a full night’s sleep for learning a new skill. A “power nap” can improve alertness, creativity, productivity, motor skills, and accuracy, as well as reduce stress and risk of heart attack, and aid in weight loss.

• What about those folks who never seem to need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning? These individuals are awakened by the release of a stress hormone called adrencorticotrophin as they unconsciously anticipate the stress of waking up.

• If you’re one of those who kicks and punches while asleep, you are more susceptible to neurological disease. Experts say that “violent sleepers” have a 50% chance of developing Parkinson’s Disease or dementia and should consult a neurologist to diagnose the problem.

• If you think that drinking coffee will help you stay awake, consider that those folks who drink four or more caffeinated beverages on a daily basis have a higher risk for sleep apnea.

High-Tech Relief for Winter Blues Many of us don’t want to do too much outdoors during cold weather, but there are plenty of ways to stay busy. High-tech devices can come to the rescue!

Here are a few ideas: --Learn a foreign language online. Check OpenCulture. com and look for courses developed by Yale or Carnegie Mellon. Look at www.bbc.co.uk/languages/ if you want to brush up on a language you already know. This one is very well done with videos. Do the lessons with a friend.

--Learn how a new electronic gadget works. There are many to choose from. I’m surprised, as are those who know me, but I’m enjoying my Kindle, an e-reader. I’m a diehard book lover, but I’m running out of space for more shelves. The Kindle holds thousands of books, is easy to carry, the text is expandable to huge sizes if necessary, the battery lasts a long time, and on Amazon.com there are lots of free books to get started. To enjoy books on an electronic device, it doesn’t need to be a Kindle.

Amazon has free apps (little software applications) for a number of e-reader devices, such as iPad and Android tablets. Check your local library, too, for free book lending on your e-reader. It might even have devices you can check out and sample.

--If you have a Roku that streams programs to your television, you might have missed the hundreds of free channels available. Look in the channel store for Pub-D-Hub for vintage commercials, movies, cartoons and more.

Check the Lecture Kings channel for course seminars from Yale University and Missouri State, as well as audio books of the classics. Sit in on recorded seminars on the MIT Open Courseware channel.

Once you get started, you might even decide to try other high-tech toys!

What’s Good About Good Cholesterol

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a yearly checkup with a number of blood tests. All has been well for a number of years, except for my HDL cholesterol. I am a 62-year-old woman, and my HDL has hovered around 39. I watch my diet carefully, exercise daily and have taken and am still taking niacin, but the HDL refuses to budge. My total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are fine. What should I do? -- L.Y. ANSWER: HDL cholesterol is the so-called good cholesterol. It’s believed to remove cholesterol from the walls of arteries and take it to the liver for disposal. For women, HDL cholesterol ought to be 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) or higher. For men, the target is 40 (1.04) or higher.

British researchers have punctured the HDL balloon. They say that HDL cholesterol doesn’t protect the heart and that its benefits have been greatly overblown.

HDL is a complicated substance, composed of a variety of components, each having different and often opposing effects. The full extent of how it figures into artery-hardening and heart disease hasn’t been completely explained.

If you were my patient, I’d tell you to forget your HDL cholesterol. You’ve done everything you can to raise it, but it hasn’t budged. More importantly, your total cholesterol and bad cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, are at favorable levels. The main attention should be directed to these cholesterol components. If your doctor hasn’t said you need to be strict about HDL cholesterol, don’t pay so much attention to it.

The booklet on cholesterol details its effect on the body and the heart. It does not contain this information on HDL cholesterol, however. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 201W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address.

No matter where you live, your area can be subject to harsh weather during the winter. Whether it’s snow and ice, tornadoes, intense storms or flooding, it’s a good idea to have an emergency kit on hand. If nothing else, being prepared for a long-term power outage can make the experience easier.

A three-to-seven-day emergency kit can include:

“We can build your plan; help design a custom home; or choose from our many plans. Building cost as low as $59 per square foot. Build on your land or let us assist you in finding the perfect home site. All upgrades available!”

“If It SwImS we’ve Got It”

End of County Road 10 on Bon Secour River Supplying Quality Fresh Seafood Since 1975

1-888-4BILLYS (424-5597) or 251-949-6288 We ship seafood to your door! www.billys-seafood.com

FOOD Keep your emergency foods separate from your kitchen supply to be sure it’s available when you need it. Make a list of what you have and keep track of expiration dates. When necessary, rotate those foods into your household food and replace the emergency stash.

Buy only what you know your family will eat. An emergency is not the time to try new or exotic foods. Lean toward healthy, not junk food, as the body needs good nutrition in stressful situations. Consider keeping on hand peanut butter, crackers, soups, pet food, canned meats, canned vegetables, canned juices, baby food, powdered or nonperishable milk, cereals, canned tuna, freeze-dried camp food (watch the sodium), vitamins and unsalted nuts.

OTHER GEAR Emergency supplies don’t have to be expensive, especially if you watch for sales and buy only a few things at a time.

--Batteries --Plastic utensils --A manual can opener --A flashlight for each person (look for hand crank if possible) --A hand-crank radio with NOAA weather channel (look for one that also charges cell phones) --A small camp stove with a propane cartridge and refill (use outside only) or propane grill --Emergency thermal blanket -- these are inexpensive (only a few dollars) and can help retain up to 90 percent of a person’s body heat --A first-aid kit with bandages, iodine, antibacterial ointment and more --Moist towelettes --Toilet paper You’ll need 1 gallon of water per person per day. Buy gallon jugs and store them in a cool environment, perhaps at the back of the closet.

Beware the online survival and preparedness sites that sell pre-packaged freeze-dried foods. Many of them contain very high levels of sodium and only a few hundred calories per serving. There are some good ones, but you have to do your homework.

For more information on building your emergency stash, go online to www.ready.gov and click on Build a Kit. Also see redcross.org and scroll down to Prepare Your Home and Family.

Success on Campus What started as a pilot program at the University of South Florida in 2009 to help veterans make the transition from the military to academics now has expanded to VetSuccess centers on 94 campuses across the country.

Part of the VetSuccess program includes having Department of Veterans Affairs vocational rehab counselors and a Vet Center coordinator right on the campus. Those counselors keep in touch with both VA Vet Centers and the other medical facilities where they can refer veterans for medical services and give help in applying for veterans benefits.

The schools themselves are in favor of the arrangement and even provide space on the campus. The schools are chosen because of their proximity to other VA facilities, such as a regional offices, vocational rehab centers, employment services offices, medical centers or Vet centers. The fact that the pilot program has grown by to more than 90 schools in four years is a testament to its success.

If you’ve considered going back to school but haven’t because of your comfort level in a civilian or academic setting, call the counselors at your school of choice. Go in for a talk and see what types of help they can offer you. They’ll be able to walk you through the benefits you could get as a student.

Ask about peer-to-peer counseling, and let them hook you up with veterans who’ve been where you are. You’ll be able to ask your questions and get advice about what steps you need to take to have the best chance of success.

For more info on the program, go online to www.vetsuccess. gov or call 1-800-827-1000. To get a head start on what kind of financial help you can get, go online to www.va.gov and search for education benefits.

It’s estimated that about 3.2% of the U.S. population are vegetarians. There are many reasons that folks choose to abstain from meat – let’s examine some of the information about those who like to veg out!

• While some people opt for vegetarianism out of respect for animals’ rights, others have health-related or religious reasons.

Motivation might also be cultural, environmental, or economic. The practice has its roots in ancient India, where they based the tradition on nonviolence toward animals. There are more vegetarians in India than in any other country, claiming 70% of the world’s vegetarians. The ancient Hellenes and Egyptians cited medical purposes and purification rituals for the practice.

A Buddhist vegetarian abstains from not only animal products but all vegetables in the Allium family, including onions, garlic, leeks, chives, and shallots. They find the odor of these offensive and believe the “anger up the blood.”

• The 6th-century Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras was one of the first famous vegetarians, and those of his era were actually called Pythagoreans. He believed that nonviolence toward animals was the first step toward the same among humans. In his words, “For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.”

• The word “vegetarian” was coined in the 19th century, and England was home to the world’s first Vegetarian Society, formed in 1847 to demonstrate that it was possible to live a healthy life without eating meat.

• Some cultures are primarily vegetarian due to poverty. A large percentage of those populations are poor farmers who cannot afford meat and subsist on beans, peppers, legumes, and grains.

• Founding father Benjamin Franklin followed a vegetarian diet for much of his life. Franklin believed that the diet was not only healthier, the money he saved on expensive meat could be spent on books. He is credited with introducing tofu to America around 1770.

• Vegetarians can’t all be lumped together in one group, since their preferences differ so widely. A strict vegan diet is completely plant-based and excludes animal products of any kind, including eggs and dairy, and even beeswax and honey. An ovo-vegetarian eats eggs, but not dairy products. A lacto-vegetarian includes dairy products in their diet, but not eggs.

An ovo-lacto vegetarian eats both eggs and dairy. If you’re a pescetarian, you are a vegetarian who eats all plant-based foods, dairy, eggs, and fish.

• There seem to be many health benefits associated with vegetarianism. The American Dietetic Association reports that vegetarians have a lower Body Mass Index, lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, less Type 2 diabetes, lower rates of hypertension, and less incidences of prostrate and colon cancer. Studies indicate that a low-fat, high-fiber plant-based diet also decreases the risk of developing gallstones. Some research shows that a vegetarian diet increases the body’s metabolism, enabling the body to burn calories at a faster rate than a meat-based diet.

• More people can be fed on a vegetarian diet than a meat-based one. One acre of land can yield about 20,000 lbs. (9,072 kg) of potatoes whereas only about 165 lbs. (75 kg) of beef can be produced on that same acre. Only 20% of America’s corn is eaten by humans, with the remainder consumed by livestock. Livestock eat 95% of the oats grown in the U.S.

Changing Clothes

by Stephen Shaffer

Read: Ephesians 4:17-24 Put off your old self. (v. 22) Among college age males, there is a practice known as the “sniff test.”

Rolling out of bed in the morning, a dirty shirt is picked up off the floor, sniffed, and—if it passes the test—the shirt goes on. Picking up a dirty shirt and putting it back on is less work than doing laundry or finding a clean shirt. As long as no one notices, it is perfectly okay. There is no need to change clothes.

But what may be okay for college guys is not acceptable for Christians.

Paul is calling the Ephesians to change clothes. By the power of the Spirit, they are to “put off the old self ” and “put on the new self.” But the church in Ephesus was more comfortable picking up their old habits off the floor, sniffing, and then falling right back into them. Anger, falsehood, theft, and lust were all okay as long as no one noticed. Paul reminds the Ephesians that not only has God forgiven them, but he has given them a new way of living. Instead of picking up old patterns of living, they are to live in truth, honesty, and peace.

In our life with Christ we are daily faced with the temptation to fall back into old ways of behaving. Instead, Christ empowers us to put on “the new self created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness” (v.

24).

Prayer: Lord, help me to put off the old self and put on the new self.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

– 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

1. Is the book of Pison in the Old or New Testament or neither?

2. From Mark 8:36, what did Jesus say a man could forfeit, negating the gain of the whole world? Life, Love, House, Soul 3. Though Eunice and the Apostle Paul were not married, they both called whom their son? Timothy, Barnabas, Didymus, Mark 4. In Revelation 20, how many years will Jesus reign on earth before Satan’s final judgment? 7, 50, 1,000, 5,000 5. Who was known as the “Father of all who play the harp and organ”? Solomon, Jubal, David, Jeremiah 6. In Genesis 2:10, what watered the Garden of Eden? Rain, Sea, River, Angel

A Note From the Editor I’ve seen the movie “Driving Miss Daisy” at least six times.

However, during a recent viewing with my 13 year old son (who loves to imitate Morgan Freeman’s voice on a daily basis), there was a scene that stood out – one I didn’t remember the other five times I watched the film.

While Hoke is driving Miss Daisy about town she talks about her life growing up as a poor southerner and some of the hardships she faced as a child. Her driver, Hoke, is quick to respond that she isn’t poor now and how, if he were her, and he had the money she did, he would go around flaunting his money all over the place. The very displeased Miss Daisy replies with a sharp, thin lipped, “That’s vulgar! Don’t talk to me!” as she tosses her head to the side and remains silent.

It’s funny how that little scene stuck with me now that I’m a bit older. In our age of social openness and overall TMI (too much information) I often find myself feeling uncomfortable in certain conversations in public, grimacing at questionable content on TV and radio, wishing I could “unhear” certain cell phone conversations, hoping young people are a bit more modest in their dress in the future, and shying away from “friends” who may post off-color updates on Facebook. Although we are far less restricted in our social interaction these days, I always hope I’m raising children that do frown upon swear words and still blush at things they know their mother wouldn’t like to hear. In fact, Miss Daisy has lent to an inside joke within our family. When one of us is faced with a moment like this we will give a smile or glance and whisper, “That’s vulgar! Don’t talk to me!” and we all know we’re on the same page.

Be blessed, Audrey
