Advice to the Sleep Deprived Employee on Shifts
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung August 8th, 2008 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, Sleep Business, Sleep Issues.
Traditionally, all employees and workers look forward to the standard 8 to 5 job. With that in mind, you just have to follow the regular sleeping pattern to which most would find their way to bed by 9 in the evening.
But for people who work on changing shifts, adjusting the sleep pattern may not be that easy. For most, drowsiness and that heavy feeling is there especially if you are fresh from a previous work shift schedule.
So what is a person to do. Well for one, you have to get used to it if you are decided to keep that job of yours. The transition is not that easy. Imagine coming of an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. shift and then working on an 11 p.m. to 8 p.m. shift. You are bound to encounter preliminary headaches and of course sleeping difficulties. But after a couple of days, your body clock will adjust accordingly until perhaps the next shift schedule.
Most people who suffer from this issue come from the call centers and the medical sector. But considering how hard it is today to get a job, they are left with few options. The worst part of it is that this sleep disorder will haunt them for years to come. Being accustomed to such is really something that people have to realize. It just will not go easily compared to how it came.
Finally, you are really just left with two choices:
1. Bear with the job and adjust to the job requirement needs.
2. Consider a career change or look for another similar job that may not be entirely demanding as far as ruining your regular body clock cycle.
The choice is really all up to you.

Is It Really a Good Morning for America?

Most of us focus a lot on how to be productive but are we really aware of the diseases and illnesses around us? Sleep, something that people take for granted the most is perhaps one of the worst enemies you may have to face. Worst, you may not even know that you have a sleeping problem unless you have regular visits to your local physician.
Apparently majority of the people today may have this unlikely sleep abnormality. We are all pretty much focused on trying to survive but unless we give it much thought, are we among the majority of sleep deprived individuals today?
Well we just have to open our eyes to reality. Sleep issues are there but we normally fail to associate them with sleep disorders. Check this out:
Do you wake up in the morning with a dry mouth and sore throat? Are you irritable and tired throughout the day and suffer from headaches? Do you have trouble remembering or learning things? You may be among the 90% who have no earthly idea they are victim to one of the most common types of sleep related breathing disorders, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This condition disrupts breathing while you are asleep, sometimes over 100 times throughout the night. You may have no recollection that you struggled for breath, snored, choked and gasped to get your breath back.

Radiation Effects on Sleeping People
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 9th, 2008 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Issues.
Mobile phones are a rave these days but apparently, one thing that we also know is that the radiation that they emit is dangerous to us in more ways than one. It will only be a matter of time before we find out the effects that a cellular phone’s radiation can do to our overall health but sleep alone is something that will be affected, especially if we make it a habit to sleep while they are by our bedside.
This practice is a common sight we see today. Most people need their mobile phones nearby especially when they want callers to get hold of them immediately. But while that satisfies the aspect of personal and business aspects of your life, your health likewise needs the proper attention.
Doctors asked men and women between the ages of 18 and 45 to talk on cell phones before bed.
Some were exposed to radiation similar to a wireless signal. Other talked on “phoney” phones that released no radiation. Those exposed to radiation reported headaches, took longer to fall asleep and didn’t sleep well through the night.

Finding Sleep Despite Stock Drops
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 27th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues.
One thing that is sure to keep people awake these days is being worried over the stock market drops that are causing economic crisis and headaches to people who have heavily invested in them. Thinking about the investments and the money that they are continuously losing by the day is bound to keep you awake, making you think of how to recover from these losses if and when they do stabilize.
Apparently all seems lost for people who feel that they are experiencing these losses everyday. But as they say, “Things can only get better”. Such is easier said than done but just think of new ways to win back the money rather than soak and end up thinking all the time which will give you less sleep. Your health should not diminish in the same way that the stock markets are pummeling.
Just remember, there are always alternatives you can turn to if you are inclined to think of the status of your money in them. Sleeping on it will not help but at least your help is still upbeat and will not coincide with the continuous trend of economic problems. Remember that they can get up, but your health is something more important.

Sleep Away from Mobile Phones
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 20th, 2008 in Health Issues, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders.
Normally, we would have our mobile phones nearby. Possible calls while we are sleeping are a given and we just don’t want to miss them even if it means waking us up from a deep slumber.
But while this is a common practice, the radiation that these mobile phones is something to worry about. There are health risks that include headaches, confusion and depression which may be solicited so it is best to read on this.
Radiation from mobile phones delays and reduces sleep, and causes headaches and confusion, according to a new study.
The research, sponsored by the mobile phone companies themselves, shows that using the handsets before bed causes people to take longer to reach the deeper stages of sleep and to spend less time in them, interfering with the body’s ability to repair damage suffered during the day.
The findings are especially alarming for children and teenagers, most of whom – surveys suggest – use their phones late at night and who especially need sleep. Their failure to get enough can lead to mood and personality changes, ADHD-like symptoms, depression, lack of concentration and poor academic performance.
