Dear Ted,
At last my dream has come true. I know you will be glad to learn that we have bought a house, for you know how much I've wanted this to happen. We're very happy. We have a small vegetable garden. Each of the children has claimed a little square of it, and I can see now that even if we have nothing else to eat, we'll have plenty of radishes.
How I wish that you could come and visit! If there is any possibility, do make every effort. We can make you comfortable, and it would be a joy to have you with us. You can visit on any time.
I've always told you about my problems, and I wanted you to share my happiness, too.
Affectionately,
Helen

A typical adult needs about eight hours of shut-eye a night to function effectively. By that standard, millions of Americans are for a long time sleep deprived, trying to get by on six hours or even less. In many households, cheating on sleep has become an unconscious and harmful habit. "In its mild form, it's watching Ted Koppel and going to bed late and then getting up early to get to the gym, "says Cornell's Pollak. In extreme cases people stay up most of the night, seeing how little sleep will keep them going. They try to compensate by short sleeping late on weekends, but that makes up for only part of the shortfall. Over the months and years, some researchers believe, the imbalance builds up and the effects accumulate. "Most Americans no longer know what it feels like to be fully alert, " contends Dr. William Dement, director of Stanford University's Sleep Center. They go through the day in a sort of twilight zone; the eyes may be wide open, but the brain is partly shut down.
Single parent Dianna Bennett, 43, works as a nurse at a correctional facility in Gardner, Mass. To be able to spend time with her three children during the day, she works the night shift, a schedule that usually allows her no more than four hours of sleep, "My kids tell me I'm always tired," she says. Amy Schwartzman, 35, a law student at Tulane University, gets up at 9 a.m. and, what with classes, simulated court and work as a research assistant, often does not get home until 10 p.m. That's when she studies or relaxation. Nights of throwing into bed at 3 a.m. make her feel "as if my brain isn't moving as quickly as quickly as it should." says Schwartzman, noting that the circles under her eyes keep getting darker. "My mother told me I look like a raccoon."
