Senses Going Haywire Due To Lack of Sleep
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 31st, 2008 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Issues.
Sleep plays a vital role in everybody. We all know it helps us recover our used health or even revitalizes us of our drained energy. It is the best way to regenerate battered bodies by simply lying down and resting for at least 6 to 8 hours. But these should be done the normal way that of which is in the normal body clock as evenings.
As far as teenagers are concerned, they are practically victims of lack of sleep. Sometimes they feel that they can take on the world and still keep going like they are 100% sane. But at times, the little things such as mood swings and lack of alertness may become varying marks that make us totally unaware of the things around us. And most of them are because we lack the proper amount of sleep.
“Sleep is one of the first things high school and college students sacrifice to meet academic demands and other goals,” Dr. Franzen added. “This is sort of a public health problem. Kids fall asleep in school; they fall asleep driving cars. There are good statistics on kids having accidents.”

Bedtime Hours Can Save Energy
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 30th, 2008 in SLEEP News.
The time at which you sleep can make a difference. And by this, we do not just mean health. We are also considering the fact of saving energy, a common issue we are encountering today.
Apparently this stems from the fact that we are using up electricity so much when we are awake and this includes:
- Watching Television
- Using Microwave Ovens
- Turning up those radios and components
- Keeping the lights open
All of these enumerated facts use electricity and even if people try to economize by using them sparingly, setting a certain time where minimal use of electricity can do a lot for us anywhere today.
“Go to sleep earlier so that you can grow and be cleverer. Boil less water, use the microwave rather than stove, take a shower and not a shallow bath,” was Minerals and Energy Minister Buyelwa Sonjica’s advice to the country at a special joint parliamentary sitting to discuss the power crisis.

Ambien Overdose Linked to Heath Ledger’s Death

Most people want to get the most out of what they can from sleeping pills like Ambien. But while they are known to provide temporary relief as far as helping people sleep, they may not necessarily produce the much needed sleep that we all look forward to. They are remedies but while they can allow you to sleep for a while, you may very well start to become immune to them and worse, get hooked on them without getting any sleep solution in the process.
Ambien has been in the headlines since there are rumors that is had something to do with Heath Ledger’s death. But as stated, they are just rumors and nothing has been scientifically proven just yet.
Did Heath Ledger die of an accidental overdose of sleeping tablets?
Among the many pills found near the actor’s body was the drug Ambien. Last week, Hollywood star Jack Nicholson said he’d warned Ledger against the sleeping pill.
“I tell people about Ambien. Somebody said: ‘Take this, it’s mild.’ I almost drove off a cliff 50 yards from my house.”
At the moment there is no evidence that Ambien played a part in Ledger’s death. However, the drug has been linked with other bizarre and terrifying experiences.

Sleep Easy Investing
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 28th, 2008 in Sleep Business, Sleep Issues, Sleep Therapy.
So this post maybe a bit different. While we all know that sleep is the number one victim of people who cannot afford to relax when it comes to business and investing. Indeed some people would forego sleep and lieu of devising new ideas to make up for faltering businesses.
Indeed, business problems will surely lead to sleepless nights. But one thing that they should perhaps consider is if they continue with it and abuse their body continuously, they may as well end up losing investments and health together.
What is your number one investment priority? Finding the next “hot” stock? Making huge profits? Making 10 percent a year on your money? If you found yourself nodding at any of these suggestions, you need to rethink your whole approach to money management. The number one goal of every investor should actually be to sleep comfortably at night. Simplistic? Sure! Personal finance expert Gordon Pape explains that if you adopt the sleep-easy philosophy as your basic credo, both your health and wealth will benefit. In this must-read book, Pape explains this investing philosophy and how it can be used by everyone to avoid the greed and fear traps.

Finding Sleep Despite Stock Drops
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 27th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues.
One thing that is sure to keep people awake these days is being worried over the stock market drops that are causing economic crisis and headaches to people who have heavily invested in them. Thinking about the investments and the money that they are continuously losing by the day is bound to keep you awake, making you think of how to recover from these losses if and when they do stabilize.
Apparently all seems lost for people who feel that they are experiencing these losses everyday. But as they say, “Things can only get better”. Such is easier said than done but just think of new ways to win back the money rather than soak and end up thinking all the time which will give you less sleep. Your health should not diminish in the same way that the stock markets are pummeling.
Just remember, there are always alternatives you can turn to if you are inclined to think of the status of your money in them. Sleeping on it will not help but at least your help is still upbeat and will not coincide with the continuous trend of economic problems. Remember that they can get up, but your health is something more important.
