Sleep is a naturally recurring altered state of consciousness with relatively suspended sensory and motor activity, characterized by the inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but it is more easily reversible than hibernation or coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. It is observed in all mammals, all birds, and many reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

The purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and are the subject of intense research.

A. Clean up your diet. Sleep disorders can stem from a poor diet causing inflamation in the body, which will cause you to toss and turn and not sleep well, or have delayed REM sleep. Poor diet can also lead to things like candida/yeast infections, intestinal flora imbalance (IE: bacterial dysbiosis), and imbalance in brain chemicals necessary for effective sleep. Cut out the carbs, sugars, caffeine, alcohol from your diet. 1/2 of everything you eat should be green veggies. Eat good protein, like eggs, beef, salmon, and eat good fats, like nuts & advocado. Don't eat anything after 6pm (some folks toss and turn on a full stomach). Take a multi-vitamin daily. If you follow this diet for about a week or two, and don't see improvement,… [cont.]

How many hours a day does a dog sleep and when do they accumulate said sleep?
Q. I have been awake for seventy two hours straight and my dogs spend the night in the room with me. They lay down and appear to be sleeping for no more than 10 minutes then get up, walk around, lay back down with their eyes open for a while, get up, walk around, eyes open, lay down, finally appear to be sleeping again. They do this during the day as well. They never seem to actually sleep. So WHEN do they sleep and how many hours a day do they sleep?

A. The dog probably wanted your attention so it didn't want to fall asleep. My dog is always just waking up when I go home for lunch and get off work and she sleeps through the night with me.
