Most of us are aware that we need a certain number of hours of sleep. What may not be so obvious is the quality of good night's sleep we require for optimum physical and mental health.

          party? Probably not very well as your mind and body weren’t functioning
          at anywhere near full capacity. From experience, most of us are aware
          that we need a certain number of hours of sleep to maintain a sharp
          mind and sound body. What may not be so obvious is the quality of sleep
      we require for optimum physical and mental health. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol6no09.htm"><B>Do

It's what we require for consolidation
        of memory — the transfer of short-term memory (all we experienced
        in a day) to meaningful, long-term memory. <IMG hspace="2" height="168" align="right" width="250" vspace="2" alt="[Image of woman sleeping soundly.]" src="http://juvenon.com/jhj/images/0609_sleep.jpg" />There
        is also a plethora of information from scientific studies that demonstrates,
        or at least suggests, an association between disturbed sleep patterns
        and an increase in numerous diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular
        disease, and overall mortality. Certain negative indicators of health,
        such as blood levels of cortisol and lipids as well as blood pressure,
        all increase.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol6no09.htm"><B>Nap Time Again
