Here is something weird. It seems that for some reason, sleep deprived people may encounter some reduced brain density courtesy of a study from the University of Cambridge. This was done through brain imaging where the people over at the University were able to link insomnia to brain density reduction in grey matter, fundamental to brain activity.
The study is significant because it begins to explain how insomnia disrupts the brain’s functioning. Whereas previous researc
This is no ordinary apparel you wear. Looking more like a familiar windbreaker or coat we wear during the cold seasons, the Napper is actually a sleep solution for people on the go. Under the hood are a bunch of earphones, a Bluetooth lock for your luggage and a useful NapApp.
Napcap‘are included Bluetooth headphones which when connected to the mobile phone, play music, send the wake-up alarm and also alerts you with warnings just in case your luggage is moved.

The Federal Aviation Administration is cracking down on pilots who are skipping sleep the night before a flight after a plane crash near Buffalo, New York pointed to fatigue problems. U.S. airline regulators will be asked to seek data on how many pilots are indeed skipping sleep to ensure maximum safety for the passengers who embark on various flights.
The data may aid a push by advocates such as the National Transportation Safety Board for more federal action to combat fatigue. The Fe

Here is another wacky clock for you to put in your home. Though nothing much could be said to describe it, the Redundant Clock seems to be like any ordinary wall clock only that the numbers you would normally see to tell the time take the shape of how the clock would look for a particular hour.
Well that is an idea for you especially if you love to make use of weird looking clocks over the common ones.
The human tongue has a bearing when it comes to sleep apnea problems, most likely pointing to the blockages that occur when we are asleep due to air blockage. But now a surgical procedure may yet address this issue, an implant that is placed near the tongue and is programmed to keep parts of the tongue awake and avoid blockages.
Called Targeted Hypoglossal Neurostimulation (THN) Sleep Therapy, the technique consists of a small electrical device implanted under the skin near the lower jaw and a
The name could use some work but considering that Aswagandha is an Indian herb to help you sleep, it is not surprising why weird and hard to remember herbs are bound to have some medical benefits. Aswagandha is actually a scientific term for Withania somnifera and induces sleep for people suffering from insomnia. It calms the body and mind thus leading to eventual slumber.

The Analog Spiral Clocks are indeed something unique, making use of balls over the usual clock hands as its main design. The clock spins and moves the ball around through a spiral designed circle. Every twelve hours the ball disappears in a hole at the center.
