Here's some more support for the hammock: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/06/20/137300311/why-hammocks-make-sleep-easier-deeper
> Rocking increased the length of N2 sleep, a form of non-REM sleep that takes > up about half of a good night's rest. It also increased slow oscillations and > "sleep spindles." Sleep spindles are brief bursts of brain activity, which > look like sudden up-and-down scribbles on an electroencephalogram. > "We were basically trying to find a scientific demonstration of this notion > of rocking to sleep,"Michel Muehlethaler, a professor of neuroscience who > conducted the research with Schwartz, tells Shots. The fact that the brain > waves changed so much, he says, was "totally unexpected." The results were > published in the journal Current Biology. > Sleep spindles are associated with tranquil sleep in noisy environments and > may be a sign that the brain is trying to calm sleepers stuck in them. > Spindles also have been linked with the ability to remember new information. > And that is associated with the brain's ability to rewire itself, known as > brain plasticity. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
