 MIGRATORY BIRDS

Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement,

often north and south along a flyway. The study,
published online in the July 13 issue of PloS (Public
Library of Science) Biology, found that a group of
sparrows studied in the laboratory dramatically
reduced how long they slept during the time they
would ordinarily be migrating. But they were
nonetheless able to function and perform normally
despite their sleep deprivation. So how birds are able
02
to do that ?
 UNI-HEMISPHERIC
SLOW WAVE SLEEP

The uni-hemispheric part means birds put only half of

their brain to sleep, keeping the other hemisphere
awake. In fact, birds keep the eye connected to their
awake hemisphere open. They do this to stay aware of
predators or any other dangers, and many birds do this
even when they aren’t migrating. Spending a little less
than 3% of their time sleeping

 DIFFERENCE IN
SLEEPING
PATTERNS

The average person spends about 26

years sleeping in their life which equates to 9,490
days or 2,27,760 hours. Surprisingly, we also
spend 7 years trying to get to sleep. That's 33
years spent in bed! . So here , I am proposing an
idea of transferring the same ability as that of
migratory birds in human gene. 04
 DIFFERENCE IN SLEEPING
PATTERNS

This would not only help a person in controlling his or her

normal oversleeping habits, but would also help them to
overcome a lot of sleeping disorders. We already know from
human studies that people with severe depression and mania
show characteristic changes in their sleep patterns, such as
having insomnia and entering REM stage that is the rapid eye
movement sleep (the dream stage) too quickly after falling
05

asleep.
