By now, the world has perhaps been informed widely about the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Merrill Lynch issue to which both had filed for Chapter 11 or bankruptcy due to financial problems. While many have been laid off, the impact it has is deemed worst than the September 11 attacks on the United States, making more people wonder what is in store for them as far as stability is concerned.

Ordinarily this may be seen as a temporary setback but for people who need to survive, sleepless nights are pegged ahead. It may not be categorized as a serious sleep disorder for now but if the trend continues, it should not be surprising as to how this will affect people mentally that may go as far as becoming medically related.

One thing that is for sure, you cannot tell people to take it easy. With an economy practically at the cliff, who knows what tomorrow would hold. That is perhaps why many cannot sleep well these days. There is no telling which company may follow the footsteps of Lehman.

Within the past year, 38 percent of Americans said they couldn’t sleep because of financial worries, 34 percent experienced the butterfly feeling in their stomachs for the same reason – while 9 percent have even broke out in cold sweats after toiling over their finances, according to the Birmingham-based bank’s Build-to-Order Free Checking Anniversary Survey.

One thing about sleep deprivation in women is that when they have hot flashes during sleep, tendency is for them to get up and do the necessary to ease the discomfort. While there are a number of ways to go about it, sleep is something that serves as collateral damage as it is also affected when pains of menopausal disorders strike.

But thanks to this ongoing solution from Bionovo, women may yet see the last of these issues as the Emeryville business (NASDAQ: BNVI) had already reported positive results from a Phase II trial of the drug, saying patients had fewer hot flashes than women taking a placebo.

If all goes well, then perhaps women no longer have to worry about these issues and finally get the much deserved sleep that they have long deserved.

Through a study conducted by researchers from University of Louisville’s Galia Soukhova-O’Hare, it was confirmed that sleep apnea affects another health issue and this has something to do with erectile dysfunction and sex drives for men.

If you think of it, the logic makes sense. For one, how can you expect a man to have sex if he has breathing problems? Well even though the experiment was made through the use of the usual experimental mice, at least now it has been confirmed that sleep apnea is indeed affecting parts of the human anatomy so sleep apnea really has to be avoided or treated as much as possible.

How were sleep apnea and ED linked? Testosterone wasn’t the problem; testosterone levels were unaffected by sleep apnea. And there weren’t any problems with the mice’s anatomy, either.

But the mice did have lower levels of an enzyme needed to make nitric oxide during the experiment, and they may have needed nitric oxide to help with blood flow for erections.
