I have no problem with what people believe. I believe our governments when people want to change our way of live, because of what they believe. As a Minister of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus in this wonderful, peaceful Christian civilisation with a Christian heritage and a blessed way of life, Our Lord said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you – you of little faith? So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:25-34 - NIV) Remember what Jesus said about today, “So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” We pray our politicians will be faithful 'each day' to punish wickedness, vice and treason and honour our Christian heritage and way of life. I am writing this book with great concern about the direction of our wonderful country. The constant media reports about Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Africa and even now the United States of America to start with, are very disturbing. Remember 9/11. And just recently the killing of a priest in his church in France! Where is the love and the peace? As a student of history I was amazed at the excellent works by authors John F Kennedy and Louise Shaw concerning the events in Europe 1932 - 1939. Kennedy wrote “Why England Slept” whereas Shaw examined how the political elite at the time were ineffective. Sir Winston Churchill, who is one of my heroes and whose grave I visited in Bladon, wrote a book “While England Slept.” Hence the title of my book, “While Australia Sleeps”. I will repeat some of these comments later in this research work for emphasis – simply because Australia is asleep to the infiltration of Islam since 1966. Much of the media reports I would love to use are prohibited due to copyright restrictions – a form of censorship. To me another form of discrimination against true Australians – those who love our country, our system of government – OUR LAWS – which others are ignoring and would wish to overturn. We are the ones being discriminated against since 1966. Hopefully this will be explained later in the case – The Two Dannys. Claims of racial hatred go both ways – or do they? Most true Australians are not racist but PATRIOTS! We are grateful to our forefathers. Our forefathers cared for our welfare and sacrificed their youth and lives; some immigrants care for our welfare? The President of the group to which I belong said Denmark may have 5% Muslim population but they use 40% of the welfare budget. So, I was thinking about the title of this book - Firstly: “Why Australia Slept” Then: “Why is Australia Still Sleeping?” Also: “While Australia Slept” But now: “While Australia Sleeps”. So, what's happening? As a Christian Civilization with Christian Heritage and way of life, we are blessed in this wonderful country Australia.

Most of us believe that we sleep in order to rest our tired bodies and minds. Originally published in 1977, this centuries-old common-sense view is challenged by Ray Meddis, who describes and argues for a controversial new theory of the nature and function of sleep. The theory seeks to replace the old view with the idea that sleep may no longer serve any important function in modern man. Whereas the sleep instinct helps animals to survive by driving them to hide away for as long as possible each day, this is no longer a valuable asset in civilised surroundings. Nevertheless, as the author explains, we still feel driven by a primeval urge beyond conscious control to crawl away every evening to the security of our beds to wait out the dangerous hours of darkness which were such a threat to our ancestors. Contrary to contemporary wisdom, he also argues that dreaming is a primitive and particularly valueless kind of sleep – a crude a dangerous heritage from our reptilian ancestors which is kept to a bare minimum in most adult warm-blooded creatures. Ray Meddis writes in a non-technical style and succeeds admirably in making the science of sleep and intensive research studies on sleep accessible and even exciting for the general reader as well as for the scientist. He shows that not everyone is bound by a felt need for sleep; in fact, some human beings discussed at length in the book thrive on less than two hours sleep a night without any ill effects. The implications of the research described are little short of sensational; in particular, Dr Meddis believes that it is well within the bounds of possibility that future research will show us how changes can be brought about in normal people to free them from the bondage of their sleep instincts. This new perspective also leads directly into a radical reappraisal of the nature of insomnia and new possibilities for treatment.

From the emergence of clinical sleep medicine marked by the establishment of the harbinger Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic in the mid 1970s, offspring sleep dis- ders clinics and centers have grown exponentially with the recognition of the unmet diagnostic and treatment needs of the reservoir of patients suffering from sy- toms of what are now recognized and classi?ed as the nosology of human sleep disorders. Important in the growing armamentarium of treatment options for the sleep practitioner are both traditional and newer pharmacological agents, including over-the-counter, non-traditional, and prescription types, that are all used to treat, sometimes adjunctively, most clinically recognized sleep disorders. Although there are numerous academic treatises and reviews dealing with in- vidual treatment alternatives for the diversity of recognized sleep disorders, no one comprehensive resource, extant, has dealt with pharmacological treatment options and strategies for the major human sleep disorders associated with a panoply of symptomatic conditions. The present volume and its series of chapters individually focusing on a range of human conditions, from pediatric sleep disorders to sle- relateddisordersofindividualssufferingfromAlzheimer’sdementia,uniquelycover the wide range of human medical conditions amenable to thoughtfully sleep-related applied drug therapy.

Book excerpt: From the emergence of clinical sleep medicine marked by the establishment of the harbinger Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic in the mid 1970s, offspring sleep dis- ders clinics and centers have grown exponentially with the recognition of the unmet diagnostic and treatment needs of the reservoir of patients suffering from sy- toms of what are now recognized and classi?ed as the nosology of human sleep disorders. Important in the growing armamentarium of treatment options for the sleep practitioner are both traditional and newer pharmacological agents, including over-the-counter, non-traditional, and prescription types, that are all used to treat, sometimes adjunctively, most clinically recognized sleep disorders. Although there are numerous academic treatises and reviews dealing with in- vidual treatment alternatives for the diversity of recognized sleep disorders, no one comprehensive resource, extant, has dealt with pharmacological treatment options and strategies for the major human sleep disorders associated with a panoply of symptomatic conditions.
