<p>"Insomniac" author Gayle Greene discusses the many negative mental and physiological effects of sleep deprivation.</p>
<p>-----</p>
<p>Gayle Greene discusses her book Insomniac.</p>
<p>Part memoir, part scientific reportage and analysis, a book for all of us who wish to know more about sleep, the condition which consumes one third of our lives. Greene - a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the patient representative on the board of the American Insomnia Association - addresses head on the neglect of this disorder that affects millions.</p>
<p>Herself an insomniac, she weaves together the story of her personal journey through a lifetime of sleepless nights; the experiences of other insomniacs; an in-depth study of sleep science and current research; and a detailed examination of what can be done to help those afflicted. You might call her work, as she notes, "a field guide to insomnia".</p>
<p>Billy Collins writes, "The good news is that Greene's book is all you ever need to read on the subject." Green is a professor of literature and women's studies at Scripps College - Cody's Books</p>
<p>Gayle Green has published dozens of articles in scholarly journals such as Signs, Contemporary Literature, and Renaissance Drama, many of which have been reprinted in anthologies (e.g., Blackwell¹s Shakespeare: An Anthology of Criticism and Theory, 1945-2000,2004). She's also published in more popular venues such as Ms Magazine, The Nation, The Women's Review of Books, and In These Times.
<br />She's a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a professional medical society for researchers and clinicians, and a board member and the patient representative of the American Insomnia Association, an organization within the American Academic of Sleep Medicine.</p>

<p>Burying the CDC Report:</p>
<p>In 1984, the CDC reported the results of its survey of people having negative reactions to aspartame. 30% of those reporting had recurring symptoms once they resumed aspartame consumption.
<br />This report was drowned out by Pepsi's announcement of their choice to market aspartame as a sweetener in their softdrinks. In this conversation with consumer attorney Jim Turner, we learn the connection between current Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Pepsi CEO Donald Kendall, and Richard Nixon.
<br />This is a classic example of how successful PR is used to skirt public safety.</p>
