Still wondering why a good night’s sleep makes a big difference? Well, perhaps this keynote from Jessa Gamble can somehow brief you on the reason why. Health is an immediate answer for this of course but if you want a more straight-to-the-point explanation, one of the things that will be affected is your body clock.
Sharing her research with some folks, Jessa bares how quality rest time is a key element to productivity and more importantly one’s health. Jessa bares that the sleeping p
Here is a piece of trivia for you. Did you know that fish make cocoons to ensure themselves sound sleep? Apparently this takes after the fact that people make use of mosquito nets to fend of erring insects to sleep better and it seems that other creatures have their own way of doing this as well.
Coral reef fishes sleep soundly in the said mucus cocoons and wrasses sleep soundly in mucus cocoons. Hence, it looks like humans are not the only ones suffering from enj
A new British study has found that a certain eye disorder has been linked to the dreaded sleep apnea problem. It is called FES (floppy eyelid syndrome) which is pretty much associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
People with OSA are at risk of oxygen deprivation when breathing slows or stops during sleep. OSA can contribute to or be aggravated by high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and other systemic problems.

Though we haven’t seen any concrete proof on how we can benefit from proper sleep as far as our memory is concerned, it seems that this logic is going to be backed up soon with this new discovery by Rutgers University, Newark and Collége de France, Paris research team. It seems that they have scored a major breakthrough discovering a mechanism that is responsible for associating sleep with memory formation.
Normally, we address it to the time of sleep. Other than that, no clear evidence exists. But now it looks like the said research teams outdid themselves. They have dete
Following a regular bedtime routine and sleeping pattern can help a lot in the sleeping behavior of infants and maternal mood.
Results indicate that the establishment of a nightly bedtime routine produced significant reductions in problematic sleep behaviors for infants and toddlers. Improvements were seen in latency and sleep onset and in the number and duration of night wakings. Toddlers were less likely to call out to their parents or get out of their crib/bed during the night. Sleep c
An apple a day keeps the alarm clock ticking is what this different kind of an alarm clock seems to be showing us. This Fruit Powered Clock does just what you would imagine. Stick an apple (or other fruit of your choosig) on the pedistal and insert the connectors. The rest is science.
If you’re wanting to use this $18 clock on your kryptonite bomb with the intentions to kill Superman, there are two things that you’ll need to know. First, you’ll probably have to modify it to count down, rather than keep track of time. Also, you run the risk of someone accidentally eatin
Scent coming from lavender has been proven to help us sleep. While I have made previous posts wherein scent plays an integral role of aiding sleep, perhaps it is but fitting that in these hard times where everyone is at a standstill on what tomorrow holds for them.
Lavender in your room can really hit the spot. In fact, if you think about it, you may just find yourself sleeping soun
So now it can be told. As far as understanding why some babies have a chaotic way of sleeping, much of it can be attributed to the state that their mothers are in before they are born.
This is really a traditional belief. We see mothers doing a lot of things to help mold their babies into wiser and healthier offsprings. Apparently, the bottom-line is that they have to make sure that they are always in a light mood since the mental state plays a vital role in baby upbringing and sleep p
All of us would be going at anything to uncover the true secret of sleeping better. But while we are inclined towards looking for the scientific aspects included in getting much sought after slumber, perhaps the question that should be asked is does it really need scientific intervention.
Sleep deprivation is known to originate from personal fa
