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

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
It is a fact that the release of gadgets like the iPhone or any other mobile device we know of today has taken the world by storm. In fact, some have grown too attached to these gadgets that they end up sleeping (that is if they do) with them since they don’t want to lose sight of them. Further, these gadgets are eventually a problem as far as hindering proper sleep since a text or call can easily get a person up from deep slumber.
But is this development safe? Psychologists believe th
Technology has its way of making its way even up to our subconscious selves and with texting a craze these days, it is not really surprising to find some teens falling into this thing called Sleep Texting. It doesn’t really require a lot of explaining, it is what it is – people texting even during sleep.
Experts believe that such a phenomenon has become so popular nowadays but will still have the usual repercussions. And the easiest way to sum it all up is that people who get tex
Ondo State is pushing for a new anti-sleep gadget, one that may very well help curb down the accidents caused by drowsiness or sleeping when driving. Apparently the device is something that is attached to the ear of the driver which will trigger an alarm in case the driver becomes drowsy.

Leave it to hotels to do their part to help guests gain better sleep while traveling as Crowne Plaza Hotels takes the lead in introducing snore-proof rooms. The rooms promise to give guests better respite and sleep, made for couples who have sleep problems due to their partner’s snoring and vice versa.
