Coffee Does Help Reduce Sleep Deprivation
1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung June 16th, 2008 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Apnea.
We all know that coffee is the drink to have when you are sleepy. But the belief that it contributes to sleep deprivation is something up for questioning. Apparently this was the case for this study conducted regarding the tests conducted which proved that aroma of coffee does indeed help lessen the stress of sleep deprivation present for most people today.
In experiments with laboratory rats, they found that coffee aroma orchestrates the expression of more than a dozen genes and some changes in protein expressions, in ways that help reduce the stress of sleep deprivation.
Han-Seok Seo and colleagues point out that hundreds of studies have been done on the ingredients in coffee, including substances linked to beneficial health effects. “There are few studies that deal with the beneficial effects of coffee aroma,” they note. “This study is the first effort to elucidate the effects of coffee bean aroma on the sleep deprivation-induced stress in the rat brain.”
We all know that these are tests only and that rats are merely experimental beings used to prove theories but they are all pointed towards the right direction as far as explaining the facts of sleep deprivation and helping us understand them as a whole.

Waking Up on the Wrong Side of Bed
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 21st, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Myths.Such an expression of using “Waking up on the wrong side of Bed” will always point towards people who may start their day with practically all things going wrong. It should not be taken literally such as that of waking up in a position where people would normally not want to be in. It is basically used to describe people who may not be in a good mood or be grouchy at times.
There are a lot of things to consider when people are termed this way. One is perhaps people who may not be able to get enough sleep, owing it all to a bad dream or simply waking up in a bad mood. Overall, the manner of sleeping has a big thing to do with it. While people may not put much weight on such an expression, anyone can indeed wake up on the wrong side of bed at any time they may not even be aware of.
