Not all of us are perhaps familiar with Mumba, Granby Zoo’s silverback gorilla. Mumba was a one of a kind gorilla, coming close to adopting the human way of living. He enjoyed listening to soft rock and jazz, and watching Scooby Doo cartoons on television.
But similar to most people who reach their old age, Mumba the Gorilla died in his sleep of natural causes at the age of 48 or 90 if you count the human years.
Mumba was
The worst thing you would want to hear is for someone to die while sleeping. We have heard quite a number of these in local towns and for this Heartland Hottie star, very little may be known about her. Miss Sai Fengmin was a good model to take pictures of but no thanks to a bump on the head that eventually was becoming serious leading to brain injury.
These days a slight knock on the head can no longer be taken for granted. Worst, it may do its traitorous wor
Sleep issues can become great alibis for some, especially for crimes that will carry certain penalties like imprisonment. But in the case of this Toronto-based landscaper who was said to be suffering from Sexsomnia or sleep sex.
Sexsomnia occurs when a person is asleep and yet proceeds to initiate sexual activity with their bedmate. Sexsomnia is also known as “somnambulistic sexual behaviour”.

There are people who hate to sleep in the dark. Some of them go as far as using night lights or leaving the room light on. But based on a research, it was found that night lights are somewhat contributing to breast cancer thus becoming a potential threat while they are sleeping.
The risk of developing breast cancer, something common in most women seems to be placed at a higher level due to lighting. Actually the test was aimed to see if there was an associating with lung cancer

Stress is something common these days and if people had their way, they would want the best remedy to fight it off. Specialists would advise time out from work or any commitment while others may go as far as telling you to find some sort of recreation for it. But if you look at it all, nothing beats fighting stress other than sleep which can regenerate your adrenalin and make you focus better after.
Sleep is hard to do however. The sleep deprived can
We all think that sleep position issues are only relevant for adults. Sore backs or muscle strains that include stiff necks are normally the case but for babies, it is equally relevant. And in their case, it is more of their blood pressure that is concerned as circulatory failures which can go as far as leading to SIDS may occur.

SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) can be avoided if you try to avoid sleeping with your child or making sure that he sleeps in the crib with the right amount of baby pillows. But in light of all these issues, did you know that ventilation is all that is needed to avoid the dreaded SIDS?
SIDS mainly stems from suffocation and logically, providing proper ventilation
Now here is something that is bound to be controversial as far as understanding sleep apnea. We all know that sleep apnea and snorers have been found to be a health hazard since it is associated with the heart and the breathing problems leading to snoring. But apparently, this study that was made in Britain claimed otherwise. In fact it can even prolong life which is really quite a shocking revelation.

The best medication for sleep disorders like insomnia comes will have to be from natural means. For sure a lot of people who have constantly been relying on medication, therapy and pills would agree that to ensure avoidance on other areas of health risks, the natural way to remedy such sleep issues is the best solution. But the question would probably be what.
Rest assured, they will not be easy. The element of time and of course body response to it will be important as well. Considering that we must first adhere towards mental and bodily reactions, treating insomnia can be done nat
We see some people who suddenly get sleepy even if they have claimed that they have had a good night’s sleep. While this may be debatable, assuming that his claims are true, one has to wonder why a person would still be sleepy despite a full sleep taken.
But thanks to some researchers in Japan, it has been discovered that Narcolepsy and genes known as singe nucleotide polymorphisms or SNP. SNP is a DNA sequence variation between members of a species.
