Free Spirit Sphere Lodging in Vancouver
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung October 10th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP News.
Vacationing or perhaps traveling offers a lot of ideas and if you are in Vancouver, chances are you may come across these different types of lodging such as this one called the Free Spirit Sphere. It is an orb dangling from the trees like a Christmas ornament, makes you come close to living in the trees next to the squirrels.
So if you truly want a quality respite outside that of ambiance, experience it to the hilt especially in Vancouver. Spend it wisely and differently at these Free Spirit Spheres.
“It’s a pretty luxurious way to experience the forest,” says Tom Chudleigh, the mastermind behind this otherworldly accommodation.
Chudleigh, drawing upon a background in sailboat building, longed to create a retreat that infiltrated nature without infringing upon it. And so the design of the spheres is such that they leave virtually no human footprint once removed. For most, however, the environmental agenda is a bonus to the whimsical experience itself.

Steal Some Sleep with this Vertical Bed in a Suitcase
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung September 24th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP Gadgets, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Humor.
For sure, this is something that most people would want to have, especially if you are not the type who gets a lot of shuteye. When we talk about sleep, it normally pertains to laying down on our favorite bed, comfortable and of course finding the position suitable to get that much needed rest leading to sleep.
But for people who want to steal some sleep regardless of position, here is a polyphasic sleep, a practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period, with the help of this Vertical Bed in a suitcase.
Nutty as it may look but if you can steal some minutes deceiving other people then why not? Just make sure you find a suitable place though.
The artist who created this concept will tell you that it’s some artsy-fartsy way to make a statement and get yourself some polyphasic sleep, which is the practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period, but really it’s just an excuse to be lazy whenever and wherever you want. So lazy that you don’t even lay down. In fact, it’s a new epidemic of laziness sweeping the globe. This guy basically walks around with his Vertical Bed in a suitcase, finds himself a nice spot, anchors his bed above subway vents and sleeps for about 40 minutes a pop.

A Pillow All Moms Must Have
2 Comments Published by Brian Yalung August 3rd, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun.At times, a mother will perhaps want some time out but a husband and especially the kids may not even notice when she would want it. While a mom makes it a point to do all the chores even if she is exhausted, it may come to a point that she will want to sleep without any distractions.
It is in these cases that this door pillow may come in handy. The “Mommy Needs Sleep” door pillow stresses a point without needing to shout or make it clear that she is dead tired. Hanging it outside her bedroom is enough to tell the people in the house to not to disturb her.
A good buy for $5.00 only.

Birds That Sleep Like Humans
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung July 1st, 2008 in SLEEP Fun, SLEEP News, Sleep Education.
As far as sleep comparison is concerned, it would be intriguing to note if some animals would follow the same sleep patterns that we do. Apparently thanks to the continued research of most groups such as the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, Calif., there is a bird that has been discovered to sleep like us. The said bird is called the Zebra Finch, a songbird that has episodes of rapid-eye-movement sleep and slow-wave sleep as well as transition stages and quick spikes, all reminiscent of mammalian sleep patterns.
As for the zebra finch results, he said, they show that a cortex isn’t required to have such structured sleep, and they also raise evolutionary issues. “The question now becomes whether evolution has gone through the trouble of selecting for these particular patterns more than once,” he said.
