HEALTH 52 Vero Beach 32963 / June 13, 2024 Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ The sleep-deprived brain is not a smart brain. When we are short on shut-eye, our ability to process information, remember or sustain attention on tasks takes a hit, research consistently shows. After one night of no sleep or multiple nights of restricted sleep, people perform worse on a standard reaction time experiment measuring vigilance. When prompted to press a button as soon as they receive a cue, sleep-deprived individuals are more likely to respond slower (or not at all) and to also erroneously hit the button with no cue. And the more sleep deprived people become, the more lapses of attention they have. Crucially, these lapses of attention occur sporadically, so they might not even notice most of the time if there were consequences. Unfortunately, many people are chronically sleep-deprived, losing out on hours of sleep during the workweek. One of the ways many of us try to make up for lost sleep is by sleeping in when we can. This can mitigate some of the ill effects of chronic sleep loss, research shows. However, sleeping more over a weekend of two (or occasional three) days is not long enough for most people to pay down the sleep debt incurred during the workweek. If we chronically lose sleep for five nights and then make up some of it for two nights, eventually, we will hit a suboptimal equilibrium. “We all live in what is our personal normal,” said Hans Van Dongen, diExtra shut-eye on weekend not enough for the sleep-deprived BY RICHARD SIMA The Washington Post
HEALTH Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ Vero Beach 32963 / June 13, 2024 53 rector of the Sleep and Performance Research Center at Washington State University. “But it isn’t always our personal best.” How sleep loss affects cognition and the brain When we use certain neural pathways to perform intensive cognitive tasks – a reaction time experiment, for example – there is a cost. Neurons need energy and create metabolic waste as they process information. “You need to resupply, or you need to clean up,” Van Dongen said. “Or, more likely, probably both.” When we step away from a task for a break, that portion of the brain gets a chance to rest and recover, and stops functioning properly, falling into what researchers call “local sleep.” When groups of neurons fall into local sleep, they show synchronized activity patterns typical of a sleeping brain even if the surrounding neurons and the rest of the brain remain awake. The problems arise when we don’t take a break and continue to use these specific neural pathways past their limit. “They will just fall asleep on you while the rest of you is still awake, but they won’t function,” Van Dongen said. “And you have one of these lapses of attention.” And the longer we stay awake, the more brain pathways will become affected and impaired. “If local sleep becomes all global … then you’re going to literally just fall asleep,” Van Dongen said. Recovery sleep does not quite get us back to baseline Experiments simulating weekday sleep restriction followed by weekend recovery sleep consistently show that while catching up on sleep helps, it does not bring people back to their previous baseline performance. In a 2024 study, 52 healthy young adults were randomly assigned to one of three sleeping conditions. One group slept for six hours during the five “weekdays” while another had a more variable short sleep schedule of either four, six or eight hours of sleep throughout the week. On the two “weekend” nights each group got eight hours of recovery sleep before returning to their restricted sleep schedule for another five “weekdays.” A control group got eight hours of sleep throughout the study. Subjects in both restricted sleep groups performed worse in cognitive testing compared with the control group. Even with the two nights of weekend recovery sleep, their performance continued to deteriorate, though slightly less in the variable short sleep group. Other research has reported that even four straight nights of 12-hour recovery sleep did not completely restore cognitive deficits following chronic sleep loss. “There’s no way you can cheat when it’s about sleep,” said June Lo, assistant professor at the Center for Sleep and Cognition at the National University of Singapore’s Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and co-author of the 2024 study. Our sleep history follows us A reason one or two nights of extra sleep does not make up for many nights of reduced sleep is because our recent sleep history follows us. In one 2023 study, researchers tested how one night of more or less sleep affects a pattern of sleep deprivation. For five nights, 70 healthy adults slept for four hours. On the sixth night, they were randomized to sleep for varying hours, ranging from 0 to 12. They then continued with a second period of five nights with four hours of sleep. Subjects who got fewer than four hours of sleep on the sixth night cognitively performed and felt worse, while those who got more than four hours of sleep performed better. But unexpectedly, when the subjects returned to four hours of sleep, that night in between almost “didn’t really matter,” said Siobhan Banks, director of the Behavior-Brain-Body Research Center at the University of South Australia. The subjects’ cognitive performance continued to deteriorate along the same trajectory as if nothing happened. “It’s because your baseline or your set point is changing over that time, because your body’s getting used to a different amount of sleep,” said Banks, who was a co-author of the study with Van Dongen. “If you’ve been sleeping really poorly, you’re essentially going to continue on that … unless you have recovery sleep for more nights.” One possible biological mechanism underlying this lasting effect of sleep deprivation may be because of adenosine, a sleep-inducing substance that is left over from energy consumption and accumulates in our waking hours, Van Dongen said. Adenosine may account for the sleepiness we feel in short-term sleep loss and returns to baseline relatively quickly within a night’s rest. But the chronic effects of sleep loss may be because of the accumulation of adenosine receptors. (Caffeine helps people stay awake because it temporarily blocks these receptors.) But sleep deprivation increases the number of adenosine receptors which in turn increases our sensitivity to sleep loss. It takes longer – days or about a week – for these adenosine receptors to return to baseline with adequate sleep, which may be why the effects of chronic sleep deprivation linger. Sleeping in on the weekend is a “great idea,” Van Dongen said. “But it will not completely wipe away your sleep because you’re carrying your prior sleep history with you.” Prioritize sleep While Americans may be sleeping more than ever, many still do not get enough. We tend not to prioritize sleep as compared with all the other obligations and activities we need or want to do. “I think it’s just that it’s so easy to put off,” Banks said. There are many ways to mask sleepiness – moving around, socializing, imbibing in caffeine. “Naps are super helpful, and I recommend it to everybody who needs them,” Van Dongen said. “But don’t for a moment assume that that will take care of all you need because it won’t.” Instead, we need to try to prioritize sleep when we can get it. The only way to optimize our cognitive performance is “regular, consistent, sufficient sleep,” Lo said. “I know we struggle to do that. Just try to stick to that as much as you can.”
54 Vero Beach 32963 / June 13, 2024 Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ Style Co-ords are a proven formula for simple yet chic dressing – and save you having to think how to mix and match your outfit. For effortless summer dressing, look no further than this season’s hottest look: co-ords. No longer confined to twin set cardigans and knitted vests, modern brands are taking on the look, with sets ranging from linen waistcoat and skirt combinations to cropped sleeveless tops and matching trousers, or light jackets and shorts. “Wearing a two piece makes you feel really special, it’s a similar feeling to when you’re wearing a suit,” says stylist Sarah Corbett Winder, who has recently been wearing Sézane’s knitted shorts and tops. “For women who are time poor but want to look and feel fabulous for an occasion, or even just for everyday, it really is the answer.” The co-ord has many advantages. As I’ve recently found, wearing a Má + Lin black linen shirt with a little Peter Pan collar and trousers (with an elasticated waist band for extra comfort) on repeat from school runs to meetings, it acts as a simple uniform. Yue Jiang, the founder of Má + Lin, cut her design teeth as a fashion buyer in Paris and London, working for brands including JW Anderson, says ease of dressing drives her designs. “For me, nothing is better than a co-ord for the effortless chic,” she says. “They can easily work for different occasions without you having to think how to mix and match your outfit.” A shortcut to instant style is a common thread. “I’m all about uniform dressing,” agrees Nell Diamond, the founder of Hill House. “As a busy mom and business owner, I rely on easy coords throughout the summer to make things simple. I love a coordinating set because there are no surprises – I always know how it will look together, even when I’m mixing colors or prints.” Her co-ords include pretty floral and striped skirts with flatteringly high waistbands and smocked tops. By virtue of its matching pieces, coords are “such a great formula for simple but chic dressing,” says Josefina Alazraki, the founder of Casa Raki, whose silky Cupro (a regenerated cellulose fabric made from cotton waste) slouchy trousers and halter neck co-ords have taken Ways to effortlessly look more stylish this summer BY JESSICA SALTER The Telegraph
Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ Style me from chic evening cocktails to sightseeing in European cities. Other brands offering a suit-like experience include Life of Ease, which has matching linen shorts and shirts and the queen of shirts, With Nothing Underneath, which has matching palazzo trousers in its range. Alazraki says she wears a co-ord “with sneakers or flats during the day for a comfortable but utilitarian look, and then can dress them up with sandals for the evening for a nice breezy summer evening look.” For smarter lunch meetings, for example, I’m also a fan of Parisian brand Soeur’s Aaron sleeveless poplin top and Watson trousers for an easy but smart day time look and for polished nights, Serena Bute’s oversized cuff shirt and flattering wide-leg trouser which come in an eye-popping trio of neons (and black for those of us who can’t resist). Another reason to reach for a co-ord is its versatility, says Poppy SextonWainwright, a co-founder of Asceno. “Co-ordinated pieces can be worn as a full look or styled with pieces I already own, such as wearing the shirt with jeans, meaning it’s a very hard-working part of my wardrobe,” she says. That jigsaw-like versatility really comes into its own when traveling. Hannah Beaumont, the founder of Beaumont Organic, which has a range of co-ords including shorts and longer sleeved shirts along with maxi skirts and peasant-style tops in natural-dyed colors, says: “You can take three co-ords and if you are clever, have nine looks. This is ideal for someone like me who is often packing for short trips and likes to look a little different each day.” While dresses are a summer staple, they have fallen out of favor with the most fashion forward: A summer suit, or skirt and tailored top can look more modern. “While dresses will always have a firm place in our hearts, it feels really fresh to instead wear chic and playful co-ords,” Haeni Kim, the founder of Kitri says. The reason they’re so popular – the brand’s green print Cressida Jacket and Agatha trousers are already sold out – she says, is because they “solve the same wardrobe dilemmas as dresses do in a more casual way – one and done, effortless outfitting without having to think too much.” Many co-ords are linen (Jiang notes its hard-wearing attributes, along with eco credentials, while Alazraki says it’s ideal as a mother of two young children) or cotton – making them perfect for managing body temperature in the summer. But one perhaps more surprising – and pleasingly 1970s retro – is a knitted combo. Along with the Sézane set that Corbett-Winder sports, independent label Gather & See has a knitted shorts and sweater combo – perfect for a California beach trip. You can tell that many of the co-ord sets have been designed by womenowned brands, thanks to the clever details that speak to what we need. Hill House’s tops have wide straps, meaning no visible bra straps; the June top by the sister-run brand Usisi Sister features an adjustable rouleau tie at the back, “which can be let out for hot summers days and then tightened in the evening for a sleeker silhouette,” Millie Allsopp, a co-founder of the label says. She adds that flashing a hint of skin between the garments is “the perfect balance between elegant and alluring”. Flashing the flesh can feel intimidating, Lucia Dailey, the founder of slowfashion brand Seren, recognizes. But, she insists it is for all ages: “We have specifically designed the skirt with a high waist and flattering ruched detailing for an elevated and pulled together (literally) look.”

PETS Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ Vero Beach 32963 / June 13, 2024 59 Bonz makes pals with another Serius-ly cool cat Talk about Close Calls: This week’s innerview-ee has a Tail to Tell! Me an my assistant were greeted by a sleek, hansome cat, totally black except for the tip of his long tail, which was snow white. He came right up, more like a pooch than a cat, I thought. Didn’t even bother with the traditional cat Sniff-an-Size Up. “Come in, Mr. Bonzo! Welcome! This is my Mom Kat, an I’m Serius Black Wood! Please havva seat!” “Delighted to meet you both,” I said as we got settled on the couch. “I must say, that is an unusual an fass-uh-nating name.” “I agree,” he replied. “I’ve learned it comes from a book series young humans Totally Love, about a human boy called Harry Potter. Serius Black is his godfather. You can call me Serius. But my Mom usually calls me Handsome Boy an there’s a story behind that, too.” “I’d love to hear it,” I prompted, opening my notebook. “Sure, well, there was a time when me an Mom were staying with some frens, who hadda pupper called Cyrus. Well, whenever Mom called me – you know – like ‘HERE, SERIUS!’ – the liddle pupper thought she was callin’ HIM. So we both came runnin’, an it got pretty confusin’. So she decided to call me Hansome Boy instead which – not to brag – seemed appropriate.” “Oh, absolutely,” I agreed. “I understand you had a pretty harrowing innerduction to the world. But, thank Garfield, with a happy Ending.” “Troo an Troo,” he agreed, an began his tail. “It was about 6 years ago an my soonto-be Mom was in a different apartment. She was sleepin’ but woke up suddenly when she heard a liddle muffled sound, like a kitten mew-in’. She searched everywhere but couldn’t find anything. An the mewin’ continued, so she called her Dad (Grampa Brian). He rushed right over, an discovered it was comin’ from behind the wall. (It was me, of course.)” “I figured,” I said. “Woof! It musta been so scary.” “Yep. For sure. Anyhow, I kept mewin’ loud as I could, which wasn’t that loud. So Grampa Brian ripped out the dry wall an, finally, there I was, scwunched between the walls, a buh-draggled liddle fluff ball. He scooped me up very gently an handed me to Mom. She was so kind an careful an snuggly. I looked around for my Mama an my brothers an sisters but they weren’t anywhere. But I wasn’t hurt, just a liddle confused, an happy to not be in that dark scary place anymore.” “How did you get there in the first place?” I queried. “Far as I remember, my kitty Mama had got into the addic somehow. I guess she didn’t have an ackshull home, but I don’t know for sure. Anyhow, she was all ready to have us babies, so we were born in the attic. We were all drinkin’ Mommy milk an our eyes were just beginnin’ to open. Then, somehow, I fell through the floor all the way to the bottom.” “Anyway, my new Mom took me to the kitty doctor right away an he showed her how to take care of me. He gave her speshul milk called Kitten Milk Replacement, which is like regular Mommy Milk, cuz I still needed it. My new Mom gave it to me from a, um, she called it a suh-RINGE, with a nibble at the end like my kitty Mommy had. (She had one for each of us.) “It was duh-lishus an I grew up all healthy. At first, when Mom went fun places to do singin,’ which humans call carry-OH-kee, she hadda bring me cuz i hadda eat every two hours. She carried me in a guinea pig cage an everybody was fine with it cuz I was so liddle. An puh-lite. An cute. “Anyway, Mom was So Happy to have me cuz it was her first time in her own place an now she had somebuddy – ME – to take care of an hang out with.” “Oh, Woof, Serius! What an uhMAZE-zing story. If you don’t mind me sayin’, you’re different than most of my fee-line frens. You’re not shy at all. You remind me more of a dog, if you know what I mean.” “Ackshully, I do know. Since I was so liddle when me an Mom got together, an she fed me Mommy milk and took care of me in LOO of my kitty Mama, she was LIKE my kitty Mama. Humans call that BON-ding. Mom says I have a Big Personality. I never learned to be mysterious or aloof. I’m totally a people cat. I also get along with dogs, long as they’re frenly like you.” “So,” I inquired, “What’s your day-today like?” Serius pointed to a BIG basket of toys an LOTSA tulle in lotsa colors. “I play with all that! I love playin’! I puh-tickularly love my dragon tunnel an my mouse-onna-stick.” Serius zipped through his purple-an-green tunnel, then did a few hilarious summersaults an lotsa fast peddling with his back feet, like he was tryin’ to grab the white tip of his tail. When he came to a stop he said, “Mom says playin’ like that’s called Single Cat Syndrome. I just call it FUN! I’m pretty much a Party Cat, but I also enjoy walks with Mom. I wear a sorta harness ana leash an I’m very well-buhaved. When I’m through zoomin’ around, I love sittin’ on Mom’s shoulder, just chillin’ an, of course, I sleep with Mom. When we’re havin’ company, an it’s my 10 o’clock bedtime, I come in an remind ’em, an try to shoo them out. “My fave humans other than Mom are Grampa Brian an Miss Jennifer. (I help her clean when Mom’s at work). Also Aunt Rosemary an her dog, Shadow. “All-in-all, you can call me a Very Furtunate Cat!” Heading home, I was marveling over how Serius Black’s scary beginning turned into the Best Thing Ever for him an his Forever Mama. The Bonz Hi Dog Buddies! Don’t Be Shy We are always looking for pets with interesting stories. To set up an interview, email [email protected]. Serius Black PHOTO: JOSHUA KODIS

He was the cherished son of Ida Peacock Terry, “Sissy” (Kenn Sneed Terry -deceased) and Honorable Judge Charles Thadeus Carlton (Lois Carlton) and the loving brother of Virginia Vare Terry, Chad Carlton and Kelly Stallman. Marshall was a fourth-generation native Floridian of the Treasure Coast area. He was born in Vero Beach and graduated high school from Saint Edwards School in 1989. Marshall enrolled in Jacksonville University where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Public Administration and a minor in Geography. At Jacksonville University he played Lacrosse and was on the Surf Team. Marshall also went on to earn a dual degree in Food and Beverage Management and Culinary Arts from the Florida Culinary Institute. Marshall started his real estate career in 1996 working as a real estate appraiser for Carlton Appraisals of Orlando. He also worked simultaneously as a commercial real estate portfolio manager for the Waterway Crossing Corporation. Marshall started his sales career in Vero Beach in 2001 where he was a consistent top producer for several real estate companies, most recently with Berkshire Hathaway. In 2012 Marshall was awarded the Diamond Award for his former firm as a Top Producer for the year. He was in the Million Dollar Club for multiple years. He specialized with properties on the Barrier Island and Mainland in Vero Beach, Florida by educating his clients about the market. He was a realtor with Berkshire Hathway Home Services since March 2016, Norris & Company Real Estate from 2013-2016 and Peters Cook & Company Real Estate from 2000-2013. Marshall’s success was simply the result of doing something that he loved to do, helping people. When Marshall was not working, he took advantage of all the South Florida lifestyle has to offer, including surfing, fishing, boating, tennis, and golf. He loved the ocean. He particularly enjoyed traveling to Central America with friends to take advantage of the great waves. During a private family service in the Chapel at Trinity Episcopal Church in Vero Beach on Monday, May 6, 2024, the Reverend Father Chris Rodriquez spoke of Marshall’s capacity for empathy and caring for others. He talked about how caring for others so strongly often means taking the pain on yourself. If the true measure of a person is friends, then Marshall was a very rich man. Sharing their sadness and sense of loss, many of his friends have also focused on the true life and spirit that was Marshall. They said things like, “Marshall had a huge heart and I will always consider him a brother.” “I hope you’re wearing your tie-dye shirts, listening to the Grateful Dead watching the sunrise and surf .” “You were such a great guy, and friend to so many!! I will always remember you smiling and being so kind!! I hope you are having perfect sunrises and sunsets with perfect waves in between!! Gone far too soon!” “I was so sad to hear the news, my friend. Your sense of humor and kindness will be so missed.” Marshall, I love you brother. So many beautiful memories and moments with you. You brought happiness to so many of us. And you will always be one of the most sweet and beautiful souls I was ever lucky enough to call Friend. May you find peace and perfect barrels in the next life journey.” Gifts in memory of Marshall may be made to the Trinity Episcopal Church in Vero Beach 2365 Pine Ave., Vero Beach, FL 32969; Dystonia Medical Research Foundation, http:www.dystonia-foundation.org or the Saint Edward School, 1895 Saint Edwards Drive, Vero Beach 32963.

RIVER CLUB RETREAT Lakefront hideaway with expansive water views 1209 Islander Way at River Club at Carlton: 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 3,673-square-foot, lakefront home offered for $2,185,000 by Sally Daley, The Daley Group at Douglas Elliman: 772-538-4503
REAL ESTATE 64 Vero Beach 32963 / June 13, 2024 Your Vero Beach Newsweekly ™ When Bob McNally of Palm Coast Development took on the challenge of designing a home on the strip of land at 1209 Islander Way in the River Club at Carlton, he approached it with the intent to connect the owners closely with nature – creating an almost biophilic design that made the most of the 250-foot south and west exposure while maximizing lake views. “Every room except for the library has a view of the water and a way to get outside,” says Sally Daley, founding broker associate at Douglas Elliman’s island office, noting that you have water views as soon as you step inside. “With the house focused on the lake and all the big windows, you get plenty of light and water views,” adds Daley. When Sharon Purdie and Ted Sybertz decided they were ready to purchase a home in Florida, friends “loaned” the couple their Vero Beach condo as a base from which to tour the state. During that week-long stay in Vero Beach 10 years ago, the couple fell in love with the little seaside town and immediately made an offer on this house, recalls Ted. The location, private lot, and water views attracted the couple, shares Sharon. To the right of the front entry, a secluded guest wing ensures visitors can come and go without interacting with the rest of the household if they choose. The guest en suite bath doubles as the pool bath. To the left, a hallway runs the length of the house – parallel to the lake – from the two-car garage to the first-floor primary suite. “The millwork is just fantastic,” says Daley. At the head of the hallway, a “bespoke” library with floor-to-ceiling wainscoting, built-in bookshelves, a coffered ceiling, and a kidney-shaped desk offers an inviting spot to work, read or just hide out. The private, screened courtyard is a bonus, ensuring you can sit in solitude should you like while enjoying the trickle of water from the fountain. Further down the hallway, the living and dining rooms are perfectly situated for entertaining. Columns, ceiling features and a “marble rug” define the spaces, so you can flow between the seating area, which focuses on the fireplace at one end, and the dining room, which has access to the chef’s kitchen at the other. Both rooms overlook the pool and lake through six large windows with transoms. Four of these open onto the pool deck, making al fresco dining easy. In the kitchen, dual ovens, a gas cooktop, an island, and bar-top seating make the elegant space functional. With the breakfast nook, powder room, wet bar with wine cooler and family room nearby, you won’t feel left out when working in the kitchen. A screened porch with a fireplace off the family room extends the funcRiver Club hideaway features expansive water views BY STEPHANIE LABAFF Staff Writer

With the doors open wide, you can enjoy the breeze off the lake or sit and watch the sunset while sipping a glass of wine. “We watch rocket launches from the screened porch,” shares Sharon. The laundry room and first-floor primary suite are at the end of the hallway, ensuring the owners have complete privacy to enjoy lake views from the bedroom and their secluded terrace. A walk-in closet and luxurious bath with a water closet, bidet, shower, soaking tub, dual sinks and vanity complete the suite. Off the family room, a somewhat hidden staircase leads to the secondary primary suite, perfect for longterm guests or live-in caregivers. At the top of the stairs, a sitting room with a wet bar overlooks the lake from the covered balcony. “The upstairs lives like a guest house,” says Daley. The en suite bath has a shower, water closet, dual sinks, and walk-in closet, ensuring plenty of room for guests or homeowners using the second floor as their private retreat. A second private covered balcony overlooks the lake from the bedroom, so you can always find a quiet place to sit and relax. Most first-floor rooms can access the pool deck, allowing optimal indoor-outdoor living, especially with the summer kitchen nearby. Covered spaces ensure you can make the most of this space no matter the weather and the disappearing-edge pool and spa are sited so water views extend from the pool to the lake. “The neighborhood is effectively like a country club without the golf course,” says Daley, noting the many River Club amenities, including an Olympic-size pool. Additionally, she points out the benefit of having different housing options within a community, something Sharon and Ted plan to take advantage of as they transition to a different phase in their lives. It is also a very active community, with access to the Jungle Trail for walking, running and biking, and the river for kayaking – something ShaVITAL STATISTICS Neighborhood: River Club at Carlton • Year built: 2007 Construction: Concrete block Lot size: 60 feet by 200 feet • Home size: 3,673 square feet Bedrooms: 3 • Bathrooms: 3 full baths and 1 half-bath Pool: Disappearing edge swimming pool • View: Lake and pool Additional features: Gated community; library; detailed millwork; island kitchen; hardwood and marble flooring; two primary suites; wet bar; wine cooler; water closet with bidet; patios and balconies; two fireplaces; summer kitchen; screened porch; impact resistant glass and storm panels; and a two-car garage.
