How We View Sleep A luxury Stressful hours/night shifts/multiple jobs Home obligations Fast paced lives Many things to do other than sleep: internet TV time with friends/family email

Scary Statistics Some 70 million people in the United States have a sleep problem. About 40 million adults suffer from a chronic sleep disorder; an additional 20 - 30 million have intermittent sleep-related problems. (National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) Effects of sleep loss on work performance may be costing U.S. employers some $18 billion in lost productivity. (NSF 1997 poll on Sleeplessness, Pain, and the Workplace) Americas adults average 6.9 hours of sleep each night, slightly less than the range of seven to nine hours recommended by many sleep experts. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll) One-quarter of Americas adults, 47 million people, dont get the minimum amount of sleep they say they need to be alert the next day. (NSF 2002 Sleep in America poll) One-quarter of Americas adults say their sleep problems have some impact on their daily lives. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll) More than one-half of Americas adults nap at least once a week. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll).

Sleep and Health

Sleep/Health Impact ObesitySeveral studies have linked insufficient sleep and weight gain. 1 DiabetesStudies have shown that people who reported sleeping fewer than five hours per night had a greatly increased risk of having or developing type 2 diabetes. 2,3 Fortunately, studies have also found that improved sleep can positively influence blood sugar control and reduce the effects of type 2 diabetes. 4 Cardiovascular disease and hypertensionA recent study found that even modestly reduced sleep (six to seven hours per night) was associated with a greatly increased the risk of coronary artery calcification, a predictor of future myocardial infarction (heart attack) and death due to heart disease. 5 There is also growing evidence of a connection between sleep loss caused by obstructive sleep apnea and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, and irregular heartbeat. 6 Harvard University http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu

Sleep/Health Impact Immune functionInteractions between sleep and the immune system have been well documented. Sleep deprivation increases the levels of many inflammatory mediators, and infections in turn affect the amount and patterns of sleep. 7 While scientists are just beginning to understand these interactions, early work suggests that sleep deprivation may decrease the ability to resist infection (see The Common Cold, below). Common Cold In a recent study, people who averaged less than seven hours of sleep a night were about three times more likely to develop cold symptoms than study volunteers who got eight or more hours of sleep when exposed to the cold-causing rhinovirus. In addition, those individuals who got better quality sleep were the least likely to come down with a cold. 8 Harvard University http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu

Sleep/Health Impact Not surprisingly, these potential adverse health effects can add up to increased health care costs and decreased productivity. More importantly, insufficient sleep can ultimately affect life expectancy and day-to- day well-being. An analysis of data from three separate studies suggests that sleeping five or fewer hours per night may increase mortality risk by as much as 15 percent. 9 Major restorative functions in the body such as tissue repair, muscle growth, and protein synthesis occur almost exclusively during sleep. Scientists have discovered that insufficient sleep may cause health problems by altering levels of the hormones involved in such processes as metabolism, appetite regulation, and stress response. 10, 11, 12 Studies such as these may one day lead to a better understanding of how insufficient sleep increases disease risk.

Why Lifestyle Change ? Many of the major diseases causing death in the United States can be greatly improved by changing our habits and behavior. some of these include Obstructive Sleep Apnea Getting enough sleep Heart disease Cancer Diabetes Obesity Lung disease See the connection?

How Do We Get There? If we can overcome the Psychological and Logistical barriers in our way, we can create a healthy lifestyle and weight in months. What does that mean? Working on the Stuff between our ears!!! Danzinger JAMA 06

Willpower VS. Intrinsic Motivation Danzinger JAMA 06 Willpower - control of one's impulses and actions; self- control. Willpower does not work long term

Intrinsic Motivation It is Why We Do What We Do It is the Process of Doing An Activity for Its Own Sake The Reward is Inherent in the Activity Itself It Creates Feelings of: Excitement Accomplishment Personal Satisfaction What is It?

Intrinsic Motivation (IM) A Childs Curiosity Mastering the Challenges of Life Motivation is Something People Do for Themselves The Desire to Be the Originator of Ones Own Actions Rather than a Pawn Manipulated by External Forces Rewards Turn the Act of Playing into Being Controlled from the Outside

Intrinsic Motivation (IM) Are We Better Off Now? (150 hours more work/year) We Work for Extrinsic Measures House, Job Money and Modern Life Controls and Creates Alienation Deadlines, Imposed Goals, Surveillance, Evaluation Antagonistic to Autonomy FAILURE SUCCESS?

Intrinsic Motivation 3 Key Needs Autonomy Competency Relatedness

Human Motivation Autonomous vs. Controlled

Autonomy To Act in Accord with Ones Self Free and Volitional in Ones Actions People Are Fully Willing to do What They Are Doing Embrace the Activity with Interest and Desire Actions Emanate from Their True Self They Are Being Authentic Organizing Your Life Around What Matters Most

Promotes Autonomy Fulfillment Depression Failure Success Rust Out Depressed and Failure Abundance Fulfilled and Successful Contentment Fulfilled but Failure Burnout Successful but Depressed

Controlled To Act Because One is Being Pressured People Act without a Sense of Personal Endorsement Behavior is Not an Expression of Self Self Has been Subjugated to the Control People are Alienated

2 Types of Controlled Behavior 1.Compliance (Conformity) Doing what you are told to do 2.Defiance-(Rebellion) Doing the opposite of what you are expected to do

Competency Important for Intrinsic Motivation Person Takes on and in Their View Meets Optimal Challenges Works Towards Accomplishment and Mastery They Are Doing There Best

Relatedness People Do Not Only Need to Be Effective and Free They Need to Be Connected The Need to Love and Be Loved The Need to Care and Be Cared For To Be Free to Be Dependent!

Internalization This is the process of our system becoming part of the Individual It is Moving From It Being Something Being Done to You to Being Inside of You This is Where True Coach Mastery Occurs The Last Piece

Internalization This is Where People Do it Because: They Feel Free to Do It (Autonomous) They Feel Can Do It (Competent) They Want To Be Connected and Involved With Others (Relatedness)

Internalization Two Types Introjection vs. Integration

Introjection This is Doing it Because You Should or Ought That Some Controlling Force Says You Must Swallowing a Rule Whole View it as Something that Pushes You Around Declares, Demands, Demeans

Introjection Voices in Our Head that Come From the Outside Create Either Conformity, Half Hearted Adherence or Rebellion Create stress, confusion, feelings of inadequacy lack of well being Can not Live up to Them

Integration True Sense of Choice You Do It Because it Supports Your Autonomy It is a Secondary Choice which Creates Sustainable Motivation. You Learn it and Adopt it as a Part of You Creates Sense of Well Being Artistic Football Player Requires You To Relate to Them as Human Beings

Integration Worthy of Your Support Not Objects to Be Manipulated for Your Own Needs Must Take Their Perspective See the World from Their Point of View as We Relate to Them

Integration You Do It Through: Rational-Acknowledge-Minimize Pressure We Tie Them into The Community We Help Them Become Successful
