Why do we sleep? This is a question that has baffled scientists for centuries and the answer is no one is really sure. Some believe that sleep gives the body a chance to recover from the day's activities but in reality, the amount of energy saved by sleeping for even eight hours is small - about 50 kCal, the same amount of energy in a piece of toast. We actually have to sleep because sleep plays a significant role on the brain. Some of the effects of lack of sleep include grumpiness, irritability and forgetfulness. After just one night without sleep, concentration becomes more difficult and attention span shortens. With continued lack of good sleep, the part of the brain that controls language, memory, planning and sense of time is severely affected. So much sleep is required? Jim Horne from

Throughout history, eyewitnesses have reported orange glows, fireballs or flashes in the days before and during an earthquake. It was in 1968, however, that the first photographs of 'earthquake lights' were taken during a series of earthquakes in Japan. Some showed red streaks across the sky. Others looked like a low blue dawn from a distance. In 1999, floating balls of light in the sky were broadcast on Turkish television, reportedly filmed the night before the devastating earthquake of 7.4 on the Richter scale that killed many thousands of people in the Marmara region of Turkey.
