Sleep research explored
Researchers are exploring
the twilight zone of sleeping,
and the breathing disorders
that can take shape
To update physicians and
medical students about the
growing body of research in
this intriguing area, the
.American Thoracic Society
recently
distributed
to
medical schools the latest
research findings on sleep
and breathing disorders
Although we spend one-
third of our lives asleep,
researchers do not yet un
derstand the fundamental
purpose of sleep, says the
report, or the reasons why

keep breathing during sleep.
however, life ends abruptly.
Breathing disorders during
sleep are often impossible to
diagnose when the person is
awake. Babies who appear
perfectly healthy may die
suddenly in their sleep
Nocturnal asthma is one of
several conditions that may
be triggered by sl«>ep And

people who live or sleep
alone may be completely
unaware of the symptom
Breathing is stable and
sleep seems restorative

no rapid eye movements are
present. In the early phases
of this type of sleep, healthy
people inhale less air than
they do when they are awake

however, breathing becomes

stop breathing for as long as
10 second; adults may stop
breathing up to 15 or 20
seconds

About 1,000 of the two-year-

half acre plot southwest of
the intersection of Stark

Some 25 students hand-

John Stuart, forestry in

To help families deal with
the topic of death, their
reactions to death, and how
to recover from bereave
ment, Mrs Straatman has
written “Death — A Family
Crisis.” an extension c ir
c u la r a v a ila b le free to
Oregon residents
In the publication, she
talks about tlx* changes in
six'iety which may make
individuals and families feel
isolated or inadequate in
coping with death, how
people react Io death and
recover from mourning, and
how fam ilies can help
children deal with death both
em o tion ally
and
in
tellectually
“ Although no one likes to
dwell on the subject, plan
ning ahead can help the
survivors better cope when
death does strike a fam ily,”
the specialist
stresses.
Discussing facts and being
aware of legal and financial
affairs will make decisions
easier when death comes,
she emphasized
