parents, it's a surprise how it can make them more than a little crabby at a time they think should be all bliss. today, scientists saying this crabbiness isn't connected to how little sleep they're getting? it's how -- interrupted -- the sleep is. researchers at johns hopkins took sixty-two healthy adults and divided them into three groups. one was allowed to sleep as much as they wanted. . e two other groups were either kept up late, then allowed to sleep? or briefly awakened up to eight times through the night. little surprise that both the late-to-bed group p d the awakened group had worse moods the next day? but as the experiment continued, a surprising twist? the group that was interrupted felt worse and worse - in bo mood and

energy levels? an effect that grew with time, even when they were getting the same overall amount of sleep as the others. the reason? scientists think the fact that the interrupted group got less "slow wave sleep," resulting in those mood and energy changes. . perhaps it's a f fst step to helplphe 10 percent of americans who suffer from insomnia?the ones who wake often during the night? and it may provide reassurance to new parents? that it's all in their brains -- not in their heads. with this medical minute i'm dr. timothy johnson .
