With the growing rate of people suffering from sleep apnea, here is another app for your Apple device that could come in handy. It called the Sleep Cycle iOS app, something that should help monitor a person’s sleep patterns all throughout the night and wakes you up in the lightest sleep phase.
The app can register up to 4 days of sleep patterns which should help you evaluate and improve your waking patterns. But this also means keeping your iPhone powered on all night and placed on your b
Nurses are known to have sleep issues due to their shifts. About 25% of nurses reportedly can go as much as 24 hours without sleep just to adjust but this is considered a poor remedy to correct the circadian clock issue they are facing.
According to some researchers, there are strategies that nurses undergo. This includes sleeping in late on mornings before the first night shift and maintaining a night schedule on their day offs. Depending on how you look at it, these could be great strategies. H
There have been a lot of guinea pigs used by specialists to provide a better understanding on sleep patterns and today we learn that Cavefish have been used to probably bring back clues on human sleep disorders. A study published at the Current Biology,
Apparently they first had to find out how and when fish sleep. After that, they found that once a fish had been in this position for 60 seconds, it was definitely in a different state: Like rousing a sleepy teenager, it took three times as many taps o
Taking its cue from a time-machine inspired show, the Tardis Blankets are plainly meant for adding some warmth for people to sleep better assuming cold weather is upon them. Easily associated with the popular TV show Dr. Who, this is perhaps the closes thing you can get on being able to travel through time.
Then again, it could fictionally become possible to have someone you wish to be by your side when you want to sleep better although this may be limited as “all in the mind”. Chicks are bo
We all know that one of the problems of losing sleep has been blamed on the Internet. However, it seems that thanks to this new Internet-based program, the Internet may yet be an exemption.
This has something to do with an Internet program that can reportedly help people sleep better. The program was said to be effective in reducing infant and toddler sleep disturbances as well as help out in the maternal sleep of elders.
Mothers in the intervention groups used their home computer to acce
The state of mind or at least the things that are taught can be existent in our subconscious selves. That is what we all believed in and until now, there was no real scientific evidence to back it up. But thanks to some sleep researchers over at France’s Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris, a breakthrough may yet back it up, all on video at that.
They came up with a straightforward test to do the trick. They would teach a motor task to sleepwalkers and people with sleep behavior disorders, who typically move their bodies in tandem with dreams. If test subjects repeated the mot
Sleep deprivation is obviously a health issue and while many feel that they feel floating due to the lack of shuteye, it does have a say on your appetite and eventual road to obesity if you are not careful. This was of course learned thanks to a study from the Columbia University’s New York Obesity Research Center.
Hunger has been identified as an effect of sleep deprivation together with potential consumption of additional calories. Actually, it only solidifies the claim that obesity do
It is a fact that a large chunk of the population on earth today suffer from sleep disorders but today we focus on an Asian country in Singapore. Apparently all the attention right now is on World Sleep Day and for their part, about 15% of Singaporeans are reportedly affected by sleep disorders.
Sleep disorders caused by the same factors like large tongues or extra tissues which collapse and block the airways of a person have been just some of the identified things associated with the said sleep diso

This includes provocative prompts and questions that should keep you occupied while you are trying to find that right spot to get some shuteye.
