E．Paragraph
　　Ninety-five percent of adult Americans average seven to eight hours of sleep a night. The rest seem to need more than nine hours, or get along nicely on less than six. What distinguishes the long and short sleepers from the majority?
　　Psychiatrist Hartmann’s testing showed significant psychological differences between long and short sleepers. The shorts tended to be conformist and emotionally stable: “a successful and relatively healthy bunch with very little overt psychopathology,” says Hartmann. “Their entire life-style involved keeping busy and avoiding psychological problems rather than facing them.” They also seldom awakened during the night and arose in the morning refreshed and ready to go.
　　Long sleepers, in contrast, were usually nonconformist, shy, somewhat withdrawn, and low-spirited. Reports Hartmann: Almost all showed evidence of some inhibition in the spheres of sexual or aggressive functioning.” Some betrayed “mind anxiety neuroses ” and depression. Moreover, they slept irregularly, often waking in the night and typically got up with a mild case of the morning blahs.
　　At first Hartmann was tempted to classify the restless long sleepers as “well-compensated insomniacs ” who had to spend more hours in bed simply to get enough sleep. He changed his mind with the discovery that long, short and average sleepers all spend about the same amount of time in what researchers call “slow-wave sleep”, the deep and relatively dreamless state, totaling some 75 minutes a night, when people are supposed to get their real recovery from the activities of the previous day. Additionally, Hartmann concluded that long sleepers spent nearly twice as much as others in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep state in which the sleeper’s brain is as active as in full consciousness.
