Would you rather be sedated or wide awake while waiting for surgery?

February 282010

I would much rather be awake, meet the medical team and know what’s going on around me.

I agree with you.
I had knee surgery 2 weeks ago – I was like a kid waiting for a lollipop cos I knew I would wake up fixed!

What key is Josh Groban’s "Awake" in?

Just out of curiosity.

Also, does anyone know of a piano arrangement for this song?

Don’t know about the piano arrangement, but it’s in A-flat.

What does it mean when I have dreams in which I know that I am dreaming and not awake?

February 282010

I’ve had this experience on a number of occasions. Usually, in the dream, I am trying to wake up because I am aware that the dream is unrealistic. Can anyone tell me if this phenomenon has some kind of meaning?

Lucid dreaming, its really amazing – you can do whatever you want when it happens!

How many hours should a 3 and a half month baby be awake inbetween each sleep during the day?

February 282010

My son is 3 and a half months old and is a breastfed baby, he is now awake for 1 and a half hours in between each sleep during the day, should he be awake for longer?Or is 1 and a half hours too long?His sleeps during the day are for 45 minutes each sleep.

I’m afraid they don’t read baby books. If you are feeding on demand, then I would tend to go with it and let him guide you to some extent. I wouldn’t worry too much about how much sleep he’s getting during the day, or how that sleep is spread out over the day. Different babies behave differently.

Do you clean when your baby is awake or sleeping?

February 282010

I do some cleaning when my son is sleeping (almost 6 months) but usually have to wait to do the noiser things when he is awake. Then I feel kinda bad when he is awake i’m cleaning. But I put him in his bouncer and bring him in the kitchen with me and entertain him that way. Just wondering what you do and should I feel guilty cleaning when he is awake?
yes vacumming, putting dishes away/washing them

No don’t feel guilty (btw that feeling WILL go away). Just think of this two ways.

1. You are making (especially if you use green products) a more healthy environment for him to live in.

2. If you dance while you clean (This is my fav!) you are the entertainment!

Don’t feel guilty you are doing a good thing for your baby!

What is the term for being asleep and awake at the same time?

February 282010

… I can’t explain it.. It’s on the border of reality and fantasy, the border of dreaming and awake… Is it lucid dreaming? Or is there another word for it?
Thank you.

If it occurs before falling asleep, it’s called hypnagogic state (or hypnagogia). If it occurs before waking up, it’s called hypnopompic state (or hypnopompia). However, hypnagogia can be applied to a wider usage than just pre-sleep, so may apply to day-dreaming/drowsyness through-out the day.

i have sleep apnea and i use a cpap but i still have trouble staying awake i falls a sleep in seconds?

February 282010


Just because you utilize a CPAP machine doesn’t mean that its at the optimum setting. Meaning that you might need a higher level of CPAP or even a BiPAP machine. You might even be short of sleep or have poor sleep habits. In addition, you need to take in to consideration what type of madications that you are on and how they might be interacting with your systems. I strongly urge you to talk to your doctor about the concerns that you are having and be frank with him. When the level of CPAP is not functioning at the right level it can lea to right-sided heart failure. Get it checked out right away. Your life may depend on it.

When does a newborn start being awake more?

February 282010

Posted in awake | 4 Comments »

I’ve heard that newborns right when they’re born will sleep most of the day but then the older they get the more they’ll be awake during the day. At what age do most new babies start being awake more during the day?

Newborns sleep on average of 16 to 20 hours a day in the beginning and with each day they become more and more aware of their surroundings, your voice and things around them.
After a few weeks they start looking around more checking out their new world. It’s a constant progression… My 5 month old started waking up to the world more at around 2 months and by 3 months she was smiling and cooing. Sleeping maybe 12 to 14 hrs about of a 24 hr period at that time. Now she is awake most of the day and takes only an hour to two hour naps.
I hope that helps..
I’m a mom of 3 expecting #4 in Dec =)
