Ever been told to “Sleep on it”? Well if you have, especially if you are troubled, it may be a good thing to take the advice fully. It seems that sleeping on painful and troublesome memories is a great solution to get over it, thanks to a study conducted by the researches over at the University of Berkeley.
“During REM sleep, memories are being reactivated, put in perspective and connected and integrated, but in a state where stress neurochemicals are benefici
Soldiers are susceptible to trauma, something that is easily traced to the environment that they are normally exposed to. Apparently a lot of soldiers have become casualties of war, reaching an extent to which many call as them possibly reaching a “cuckoo” state which perhaps only military personnel can easily adapt to.
But if this new program called the Power Dreaming project pushes through, then soldiers may yet get the help that they need. This is actually another form of bio fe
For anyone who sleeps, dreams will be there. But the thing is, are they in color or black and white? Seems like a question for TV geeks but seriously, it seems that dreams may come in color or black and white for people, if they can remember them that is.
Apparently a journal called Dreaming asked some people about their dreams. 80% of the younger portion said they got colored dreams while the older ones either couldn’t remember or had them in black and white. And since we did mention that this s
It has been a common belief that counting sheep can put you to sleep. That was before. Today however it seems that this is not as effective. Thanks to some researchers over at the Oxford University, trying to count sheep, imagine a peaceful scene, or go about their usual pre-sleep routine was conducted. While counting sheep can still make you sleep, it seems that it took a longer time to set in. Worst, it seems to have a bad effect.
Oxford researchers concluded that the activity doesn’t take up
Dreams have drawn various conclusions. Some say they are subconscious states while others claim they are a parallel straight of awareness. Others call them an emotional state drawn from what we have already encountered prior to sleep while others call it something as an omen. Which is which? There is no specific explanation for dreams. Scientists continue to debate on its frugality. But analyzing dreams is perhaps the closest we can get.
The latest analysis is that of tagging dreams as a physiological. The brain is warming its circuits, anticipating the sights and sounds and
For sure some of us have had some episodes on wanting to get up from bed but fail to do so? Why is that? Some say it is the inability to move certain parts of the body which many relate to sleep paralysis. Apparently some people have had their experiences and if you want a scientific explanation from it, you may want to associate it with Rapid Eye Movement (REM). REM sleep intrudes into wakefulness, so if you don’t immediately click out of REM sleep and wake up, then you may continue to have this paralysis.
Hence it would be best to get some special help regarding this

We all have our own types of dreams. But while that is a given, it is apparent that some dreams stand for something. They carry certain representations both as a whole and in detail. By detail we mean parts of the home such as the bedroom, kitchen and the living room.
So if you suddenly dream of a house, here are some dream interpretations you may find handy:
Cheap and reasonable. That is what best describes the Sony Dream Machine which is nothing like the fancy clocks we see in the market today. Besides, it only costs $20 so don’t expect too much perks.
The Sony Dream Machine ICF-C414 may be short on frills, but it’s a Sony and it’s $20, so you could do worse. Anyway, I have to admit there’s something I like about the way this thing combines a kind of cold, menacing design with the words “Dream Machine.” It
Perhaps this logic comes from the common understanding that when you sleep, it means your brain is resting. And when you are resting it allows you to properly digest what had transpired as well as current events on a clear mind.
In research published this week in Neuron, Marcos Frank, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, postdoctoral researcher Sara Aton, PhD, and colleagues describe for the first ti
We have heard of sleep walking but now sleep driving? It is indeed hard to believe, getting up from you bed and then driving your car unconsciously. However, there are reports that there are people who do suffer from the said sleep disorder and most trace it to sleep drugs like Ambien and Lunesta.
Ambien is not the only sleeping pill that may lead to bizarre behavior. According to the ad for Lunesta, “After taking Lunesta, you may get up out of bed while not being fully awake and do an activity that you
