Workers who have to render work during the weird hours (meaning early mornings when everyone else is asleep) may be prone to a lot of issues. This of course includes sleep disorders, health issues and poor quality of work overall.
Hence, for workers who feel they are suffering from shift work sleep disorder, it may be best to seek some help by visiting a physician or specialist.
Other than the mentioned issues, poor sleep could lead to greater risk for motor vehicle accidents
Weird as it sounds, it seems strange to find how partners would be envious seeing their mate sleeping while they remain awake for some reason. And studies seem to indicated that this is a common trend for couples where the partner who is awake would do some things to awaken or just disturb the sleeping person beside him or her.
The most common revenge is to simply toss and turn until their bleary-eyed husband is awake. The next best thing is an “accidental”
6 hours, 8 hours and so on. These are the numbers that people believe to be the magic number for sleeping properly and leading a healthy life. Not so.
The magic number is really 7, the median for sleeping hours and the key towards leading a healthier life. This includes naps which should identify if you are at risk of aligning yourself in contracting a cardiovascular disease.
Sleeping fewer than five hours a day, including naps, more than doubles the risk of being di
While the Spring does bring in a lot of good things, sleep is something that tends to be affected. No thanks to extended daylight, teenagers find themselves coping with the extended daylight exposure and hence incurring some sleep problems as supported by researchers over at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Lighting Research Center (LRC).
Over time when coupled with having to rise early for school, this delay in sleep onset may lead to teen sleep deprivation and mood changes, and incr
We all know that health plays a vital role in getting good sleep but apparently here is one story that forced a man to lose some weight to sleep properly. And we are not talking just about health concerns but more of a matter of life and death since due to his large frame, he could not get more than 45 minutes of sleep due to the fat that folded around his neck which practically choked him.
Seamus Sanders, 47, had to deal w
If you haven’t seen the latest film buzzing these days, you may want to check it out. Especially since the final scene has put some questions on whether Leonardo DiCaprio was awake or dreaming, you have to wonder if the same thing is indeed happening in the real world.
Of course, Inception is a film so most probably the writers left that last part as a twist. Regardless, are we awake or dreaming? This include our state right now. Are you reading this post for real or maybe it is something pl
A rare sleep disorder has led a mom to crave for sex after Donna Glover encounters a Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) attach which causes her to fall asleep for as much as 20 hours. Glover experiences hypersexuality and sever food cravings afterwards which at times leads to her having random sex with men she comes across in the supermarket.
The US-based Kleine-Levin Syndrome Foundation website says the condition normally strikes during adolescence and almost exclusively affects men. It affects one in
For sure a lot of people cannot sleep with all the noise around them. This would largely depend on which area you are situated in. Which leads us to ask, does wearing earplugs damage our ears?
As far as blocking off noise, they are not damaging to your ears. However, it seems that if you look a bit further, long-term use may cause ear wax to build up. Ear plugs block the outward flow of ear wax that our bodies naturally produce in order to self-clean the ears. Foam plugs are often push
It has been a year now since the death of pop sensation Michael Jackson and it seems the doctor is to blame for his death. Joseph Jackson filed the wrongful death lawsuit last Friday at a federal court in Los Angeles against Dr. Conrad Murray.
Stated in the suit filed was the slow action taken by Dr. Murray in getting hold of medical services and giving the late King of Pop a powerful drug to address his sleep problems. Medical experts have sa
Though it should not be surprising to associate migraine with lack of sleep, new research further explains why such would contribute to the growing headaches people have to deal with. It all boils down to the proper safeguarding of proteins.
Using rats to prove the theory, sleep- deprived rats secreted high levels of proteins that arouse the nervous system and low levels of proteins that shut it down. In short, arousal proteins occur at levels that are high enough to cause pain.
