Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper discussing the adverse effects on sleep that tinnitus, "ringing in the ears," can have. Specific causes of the condition still are unknown, but years of sleep research have defined many of the problems of chronic sleep deprivation, such as reduced immune system activity and reduction of general well being. More remains unknown about tinnitus than has been discovered, but one fact is inescapable: the adverse effect it has on the ability to sleep is among the most insidious and certainly is the most damaging.

is the term problem sleepiness meant to refer to sleepiness that causes adverse effects for the person involved. The specific quantity or quality of sleep that is needed by
a given person to avoid problem sleepiness will vary somewhat. When sleepiness reaches a certain point, however, it leads to predictable and recognizable problems for all individuals (Zepf, 1999;
p. 772). Landmark sleep research emerged from the work of by Allan Rechtaschaffen and Bernard Bergmann at the University of Chicago in the
1980s. They forced sleep deprivation on a group of rats, using as their control another group that was allowed to sleep whenever desired. "The sleep-deprived rats all died
within a month" (Anonymous, 1995; p. 83). Carol Everson was a graduate student involved with that Chicago study and is now a researcher
