Sleep Improves Memory Recall
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 14th, 2007 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology.
Many of us would encounter sudden slip of the moment reminders, most of which would stem from lack of sleep. Lack of sleep in turn affects the brain, yearning for the proper amount of rest to take a break from endless thinking in daily chores and activities.
Many would say that this is only here say, but based on studies as quoted below, sleeping helps improve memory recall in more ways than one.
Throw out the ginkgo. Forget mnemonics. New research suggests there’s a simple way to lock in new info: Sleep on it.
Researchers at Harvard
Medical School in Boston asked 48 subjects to learn a list of 20 pairs of words and then tested them 12 hours later on their recall of the pairs. Some subjects were taught the words at 9 a.m., while others learned the words at 9 p.m. and then went to sleep.
The results, to be reported this week at a neurology meeting, were a wake-up call for all-night exam crammers: Subjects in the sleep group remembered 12 percent more words from the list than subjects who learned the words at 9 a.m.Half of both groups also were asked to learn a second list of words just before testing, to study the effect of distracting information on recall. Yet again, subjects in the sleep group did better, recalling 44 percent more words than subjects in the nonsleep group. - Sleep may be key to improving recall

Puffy Eye Bags To Hide and Seek
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 13th, 2007 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Disorders.Soliciting the unlikely formation of puffy bags underneath our eyes would normally be due to lack of sleep and abuse of letting our eyes being up all night, something that would normally be a necessity in line with things such as work and studies. It is not really something that forms because people want them to be there.

A lot of people who tend to abuse themselves by stressing their eyes would be susceptible to allowing the veins present beneath the eye lids to form and form into something people do not want to see. Outside the usual recourse mentioned above, people can hide them through the use of make-up. Unfortunately, once this wears off, it is apparent that these marks will eventually show up and reveal the unwanted bags formation.
Anyone who lacks sleep or has abused his supposed number of hours of regular sleep will encounter this. Fortunately, they can be avoided. But for people who find themselves in predicaments where they have to extend the hours where they should be awake, chances are they have to resort to the alternative measures to make sure that their eye bags will not be totally revealing.

A lot of mis-happenings in the world could have been avoided if it wasn’t for lack of sleep…
People in many high stress professions—such as medicine, law enforcement, or the military—often have to make quick decisions when they’re not well rested. New research confirms what common sense has long held: People don’t do their best thinking when they’re sleep-deprived.
