Only in studies will people be perhaps convinced of the abnormalities and issues that lack of sleep bring. Health are expected to be at the top of the list and for today, it has to do something with weight.
Ideally, we hear about people losing weight due to lack of sleep. But in a strange twist, a study proves that lack of sleep can be a cause for gaining weight and eventually lead to obesity.
A study carried out by the University of Washington showed how some genetic traits could imp
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.
It seems that people suffering from obesity are seen as vulnerable and such would be catastrophic for people taking sleeping pills. Pills were found to be tied with longer pause
It is no secret that people who need to adjust their sleep habits may have health issues and with the expected implementation of the Daylight Savings Time, it is perhaps easy to say that you should watch out for your heart.
According to University of Alabama at Birmingham associate professor Martin Young, Ph.D., in the Division of Cardiovascular Disease, the chances of suffering a heart attack is higher rises the Monday and Tuesday following DST.

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.
The improper breathing patterns would normally churn up snoring where about one in ten children snore. But a study published in Pediatrics seem to have shown that there is some neurological issues which include hyperactivit
Sleeping pills can help you sleep but health-wise, there is no question that some health risk is at stake. And apparently if people rely on them too much, there is the possibility of death after a study showed that the said drugs carry a substantially increased risk of death for those who are prescribed.
Over a two-and-a-half-year period, they compared the death rates among more than 10,500 people who received sleeping pill prescriptions with those of more than 23,600 others — matched
Going over some blogs, I found this curious post over at Tech Crunch. Presumably it seems to be something that was intended to be a joke, considering that the Tech Crunch HQ claims that sleep is not among the things that are in mind when working over there.
However, this brings us to think, sleep is indeed essential and although some may deny it, a few minutes of nap time does help in the productivity area, something shared by one of the commenters over there.
Everything started from a simple e
You may have probably heard or read somewhere that lack of sleep is likely to be tied up with obesity and today we find an interesting highlight that may sort of explain the whole issue. Ordinarily, lack of sleep may make you think you are forced to eat less with the notion that you would prefer to sleep than eat. But an experiment proved otherwise.
Apparently the trick was done using some photos of food on 12 normally weighted men. They did not sleep and after some scans showed a high level
Don’t look now but it seems that another area of concern tied up with the problem of sleep apnea seems to be that of deafness or hearing loss. The discovery was courtesy of a study from Japan, wherein sudden deafness was more likely traced to that of a previous diagnosis of sleep apnea.
Hence, it is advisable to have yourself checked for sleep apnea just in case you incur such sudden hearing losses. The bad part about it is on determining if sleep apnea treatment can also ad
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
Still wondering why a good night’s sleep makes a big difference? Well, perhaps this keynote from Jessa Gamble can somehow brief you on the reason why. Health is an immediate answer for this of course but if you want a more straight-to-the-point explanation, one of the things that will be affected is your body clock.
Sharing her research with some folks, Jessa bares how quality rest time is a key element to productivity and more importantly one’s health. Jessa bares that the sleeping p
