It seems that sleep loss is more serious that we thought. While we all know that chronic sleep loss does affect the memory, it seems that reflex action and other brain function can severely be affected as well. A study over at the Harvard Medical School can attest to that when they put nine volunteers on a specialized sleep-wake schedule made of 33 hours of wakefulness and 10 hours of sleep.
Using a series of tests, the researchers measured the subjects’ reflexes, motor skills

Again the iPhone has covered another part of our lives, particularly the ones with sleeping problems. The Reggie White Sleep Disorder Research and Education Foundation has releases a free iPhone app which aids users in finding out if they are at risk of sleep apnea. It combines three screening tools used by sleep specialists to determine an individual’s risk of having or developing the sleep disorder that affects 18 million Americans.

Just in case you are wondering, sleep debt refers to sleep you have lost due to sleep deprivation or maybe due to work. And while some people know that sleeping more on weekends may help, it takes more than that to normalize you body clock on regulated sleep. Various studies have proven this and if you want to get to the nitty gritty, it takes more than a night of extra sleep to pay off your sleep debt. It is not as easy as sleeping the whole weekend which incidentally will make you feel entirely lazy afterwards.

REM sleep intrudes into wakefulness, so if you don’t immediately click out of REM sleep and wake up, then you may continue to have this paralysis.
Hence it would be best to get some special help regarding this
