Sleep Fact: #31

Exposure to noise at night can suppress immune function even if the sleeper doesn’t wake. Unfamiliar noise, and noise during the first and last two hours of sleep, has the greatest disruptive effect on the sleep cycle.

Well that explains why people in big cities are always cranky, and why it's so hard to get a good night's sleep when in a new place. So maybe we should all tape recordings of our homes and then just put headphones of the noises we are used to as we sleep.

Although in my case, I may be able to tape the 4am and and 5am trains that rumbles by my apartment, but you just can't duplicate that vibration!

Haha, not that it usually bothers me being a Narcoleptic and and all.
