A new Danish study has revealed that kids who co-sleep with their parents are likely to reduce the risk of dealing with obesity. The unofficial reason given behind this is that kids who co-sleep with their parents are likely to feel a greater sense of emotional support compared to the ones who sleep on their own which are categorized as rejected.
The findings are indeed informative but it makes you think, how does this fit in with the whole SIDS issue? Apparently, a non-
Normally, people would not want to sleep alone and would rather have something or someone to cling on. But a study seems to think otherwise.
A research team from Central Queensland University found that having a partner would be more disruptive than the usual irritating noise that people would complain about.
With about 13,000 people participating in a poll, 70 percent had been woken during the night; 35 percent were woken by a partner snoring, going to the bathroom, answering calls o
Obesity and sleep deprivation issues are already health risks on their own and when you combine both, it may lead to a serious death risk. Sleeping pills have their share of issues and as per findings by a family physician and epidemiologist from the Jackson Hole Centre for Preventive Medicine, obese persons may want to beware.
It seems that people suffering from obesity are seen as vulnerable and such would be catastrophic for people taking sleeping pills. Pills were found to be tied with longer pause
Sleep has been a problem for most people and while we all know the risks associated with the failure to get the proper amount of sleep, an infographic may somehow give the sleep-deprived a better view of the risks they are playing with.
Among them include that of the familiar link of lack of sleep with that of obesity. Apparently the graphic shows varying trends that depend highly on how much sleep a person gets. For example, a person who spends 7.5 hours a night in bed, only 6
Most people nowadays are busy trying to burn those excess calories solicited from the just concluded Holidays and while many feel that exercise and cutting down the food intake is all that it takes to do so, hold on a second.
While controlling food intake and exercise may do that, do not forget the most important factor of all – SLEEP. Studies have shown that people would need 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep to truly reap the benefits of dieting.
Studies have demonstrated that lack of sleep lea
When it comes to sleeping on the side of bed, it seems that there is more than choosing which side to sleep on when couples are concerned. While most partners have their own setup on which side to sleep on, studies show that sleeping on the left side account for a happy and stress-free life.
Apparently a study showed that people sleeping on the left side responded that they were calmer than others who found themselves in crisis.
Those sleeping on the bed’s right side more often tend to wak
Sleep apnea can be a killer of sorts, especially if you do not know what and which medical treatment to take on. But perhaps if you address your sleep apnea problem (assuming you have one), then it may eventually lead to a longer life on your end since it can shy you away from the usual heart problems.
A study was published New England Journal of Medicine showing that people suffering from sleep apnea may eventually account for metabolic syndrome or better yet, health issues as
One would think that with the growing problem of co-sleeping with infants, adults and parents would be more careful and take it more sensibly. But with new reports of co-sleeping casualties for November, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
There were two separate incidents reported. One had to do with Yasmine Y. Ashley, a 1.5 month infant who turned unresponsive after sleeping alongside her mother and the mom’s said boyfriend. According to the Medical Examiner’s
Sleepless
Normally, we have all been told that a person with lots of problems will normally gain less sleep. But thanks to a study made by Lianne Kurina of the University of Chicago, her report found at the Sleep Journal may perhaps negate such beliefs. In fact, it seems that loneliness does render fitful sleep based on the study she made from a group of colonies over in South Dakota. Based on her studies, the more that lonelier the students felt, the more fitfully they slept.
Soft is not safe as far as Dr. Rachel Moon is concerned. This conclusion however is not a new one. If you recall, pillows or cushions have been found to be dangerous for babies who sleep. Issues such as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) or accidental suffocation therein have become key problems which make them hazards for babies.
Having pillows and cushions do indeed make sleeping comfortable for babies, in the same way that we adults find comfort in them. However, as far as babies are concerned, doctor
