Sleep Net Analysis\n\nIn today’s world, most people don’t get enough sleep, but then some people do. Then there are some people aren’t as lucky because they have a sleep disorder.  There are two sleep disorders that Americans suffer from on opposite ends of the spectrum.  These are insomnia, having difficulty falling asleep, and narcolepsy, having difficulty staying awake.\nInsomnia is a disorder where one has problems with either falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early.  Since the average human being needs anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep a night to function at full potential, this can be a dangerous disorder.  Insomnia comes in three different types: Transient insomnia, Short-term insomnia, and Chronic Insomnia.  The first two types, Transient and Short-term usually last a lot shorter than chronic insomnia, and they can be contributed to either excessive stress, noise around you, temperature changes, jet lag, or medical side effects.  On the other hand, Chronic Insomnia lasts for sever months and is usually caused because of more prominent issues such as physical or mental disorders, depression, or sleep apnea.  Also if one smokes or drinks just before bed time, it could help induce this type of insomnia.\nSo how do you treat insomnia?  For the first two types of insomnia, Transient and Short-term, one could be lucky and skip out on treatment since it only lasts for a brief period of time.  What ever you do, one important thing to remember is to never use over-the-counter sleep medicines to treat this.  If you have Chronic Insomnia, this is more serious. First you should check underlying medical or psychological problems; then identify the problem or behaviors that cause you to have insomnia; then consider possible use of sleeping.  If you want to go for a less expensive approach, simple relaxation therapy, sleep restriction, reconditioning, and bright light methods would work.  Relaxation therapy is self explanatory, one just needs to reduce the amount of anxiety and tension in the body so that one’s muscles can relax and one can sleep.  Sleep restriction is when one spends too much time just lying in bed but not getting to sleep.  To solve this one should just restrict the amount of time they sleep to a few hours a night.  Reconditioning is when one conditions his or her body to not use the bed for anything but sleeping, thus teaching the body to associate bed with sleep.  The last one, bright light, is when one wakes up early to get as much bright light in the morning as possible.  That way you can set your internal clock to sleep at night, and awake during the day.\nAnother sleep disorder on the opposite spectrum than insomnia is narcolepsy.  Narcolepsy is when one gets sleepy all the time and experiences an irresistible need to sleep.  Some of the symptoms are excessive sleepiness, brief periods of muscle control loss, vivid dream images, and sometimes, unable to walk or talk for short periods.  All narcolepsy is when there is a sudden REM cycle in the waking state.  Usually one will start noticing it between the ages of 15 and 30, and he or she is experiencing some of the symptoms listed above.  The most important symptom is excessive sleepiness which attacks an individual throughout the day.  They can last anywhere from a couple of seconds to 30 minutes and can happen at any time, whether it be eating, talking, or driving.   To treat this, one should seek behavioral or medical therapy.  There are stimulant drugs that could be used and sometimes antidepressants help if you have cataplexy (sudden muscle weakness).  Never the less, the important method of keeping this disorder out would be a healthy life style involving good diet, exercise, and a good sleep schedule.\nAround the world there are organizations that provide information about sleeping and sleep disorders.  One of these organizations is the Association of Polysomnographic Technologists.  The APT aims to help improve the qualit

Dial-up servers can become crowded, they have to thin the herd sometimes.If you are not browsing/surfing, it is assumed you're dozing and drooling on your keyboard, and didn't see the 'Gonna disconnect ya in 43 seconds' message that should pop up. It's also partly for safety from online diseases

Yea you could probably call me an addict. I tend to get very irritated if someone else tries to get me off the computer or get it before me. I spend probably 6 hours each day during the week (from 4:00 p.m. right when I get home to 10 or 11 p.m. before I go to bed. I take occasional breaks to go visit with my family and stuff. I feel bad for always being at the computer.) and 10-17 hours each day during the weekend depending on when I get up. I know it's way too much but I live out in the middle of nowhere and the only thing to do is get on the computer.

Always depends. Using a traffic analyzer will reveal this. I am not aware whether there are statistics on average web stay per user

Unfortunately, too much. And I don't know what exactly I do every day. Sometimes I use the internet for research purposes, and that could be several hours. Most days I check e-mail numerous times, check the weather in different parts of the world, read news articles, check the exchange rate, apartments for an area I might move to, watch movie trailers, check airfare prices, play a game. So basically I might spend 2 hours a day on the internet. A couple weeks ago my computer was out of commission. I didn't realize how addicted I was to typing documents on my computer and checking e-mail. It drove me nuts.

I would reference the study where they say everybody is removed by 6 people, which basically everybody is connected to everybody within 6 people.  And then continue how the internet may actually remove some of those people.  Or talk about flash mobs...

well usually unless one of my friends wants to hang out i go home after school and get on myspace/the internet.  so i get home about four and go to bed at ten.  so that is six hours?  and that is mostly everyday of the week, unless i have something better to do away from home [clubs, hanging out, etc.]
