When you talk about sleeping with fishes, it is of course something like having a common fish bowl by your bedside which some folks do have at home. Unfortunately, that is not what is really meant here. Rather this is with reference to an underwater hotel in Dubai which, when done, would allow you to actually sleep in style and the wonders of the habitats under the sea.

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.

Unstable breathing when sleeping would normally lead people think about obstructive sleep apnea. But it seems that is not all that you would have to worry about based on a study which have associated improper breathing during sleep as possibly a link to behavior disorders.
