Uneasy Sleeping When Your Partner is Away
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung October 15th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Issues, Sleep Myths.
For couples, it is only normal to be used to having someone being there by your bedside all the time when sleeping time comes. It has become automatic for most people to have lesser worries as far as security for one, knowing that their special and trusted loved one is by their side, sleeping or at least within sight.
Most critics may call it a mental or psychological factor. However, it is only customary for people to fit in comfortably into wherever they are placed. Beds for one are not immediately deemed the best fit to lie on until the person has fully adjusted towards it. The same goes to sleeping with someone by your side.
Some people just find it entirely empty to see a bare bed space in their room. They just don’t feel comfortable with the idea that the usual person at their side is nowhere in sight.

Warm Milk Does Not Make People Sleep Better
1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung October 12th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues, Sleep Myths.
Prior to what we have all been oriented ever since, warm milk which was believed to be a good resort for people having a hard time to sleep is not an answer to all the worries of most people. It is more of a psychological factor that has been passed on that has been making most of us believe that it is a good solution to sleep deprived people.
Few foods have a reputation for curing insomnia quite like warm milk.
According to age-old wisdom, milk is chock full of tryptophan, the sleep-inducing amino acid that is also well-known for its presence in another food thought to have sedative effects: turkey.
But whether milk can induce sleep is debatable, and studies suggest that if it does, the effect has little to do with tryptophan. To have any soporific effect, tryptophan has to cross the blood-brain barrier. And in the presence of other amino acids, that is difficult for it to do.

The Monsters under the Bed
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung July 13th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP Video, Sleep Myths.Ever since we were young, we were usually told by our parents to sleep and not look under the bed. The belief that there are monsters under our beds was evident and has been passed on to this day.
Question is do kids still believe it to this day? Well it depends on their traditional upbringing. Some use it as a psychological factor while others simply play around with the idea. Check it out with this music video and see imaginations put into one compilation.
