Sleep-Debt Calculator: What is your Sleep Debt?
HYPERLINK on the BUTTON (below) to figure out your SLEEP-DEBT number.
For EXAMPLE: If you missed 10 hours of sleep over the course of a week, add three to four extra sleep hours on the weekend and an extra hour or two per night the following week until you have repaid the debt fully. However, to address a long-term sleep debt, take advantage of a 1-2 week vacation with very little to do (light schedule) and few obligations. |

Crash Course Video: Sleep & Dreams
Let's be real, okay? CRASH COURSE videos are both interesting in presentation, but "chock full of knowledge" you should have learned on the topic in psychology. These are under 15-minutes, but offer a great "review" & "reinforcement" of the material. Review Episode 9 "Sleep & Dreams"

A severe psychological dependence often develops in heroin abusers and as such, heroin has a very high potential for addiction See heroine addiction. Popular street names for heroin include black tar, skag, horse, smack,Junk, chieva, gear, Evil, "H", "Boy", "Big Boy", "dog food,'baby powder' 'brownstone'" and others. |
Cold Turkey - John Lennon
"Cold Turkey" was the first song Lennon wrote for which he took sole credit; his previous compositions, including his first single release, "Give Peace a Chance",were attributed to the Lennon–McCartney partnership, although the credit for "Give Peace a Chance" was later changed to Lennon alone.
According to Peter Brown in his book The Love You Make, the song was written in a "creative outburst" following Lennon and Yoko Ono going "cold turkey" from their brief heroin addictions. LYRICS: Cold Turkey Temperature's rising Fever is high Can't see no future Can't see no sky My feet are so heavy So is my head I wish I was a baby I wish I was dead Cold turkey has got me on the run My body is aching Goose-pimple bone Can't see no body Leave me alone My eyes are wide open Can't get to sleep One thing I'm sure of I'm at the deep freeze Cold turkey has got me on the run Cold turkey has got me on the run Thirty-six hours Rolling in pain Praying to someone Free me again Oh I'll be a good boy Please make me well I promise you anything Get me out of this hell Cold turkey has got me on the run |
