You may have probably heard or read somewhere that lack of sleep is likely to be tied up with obesity and today we find an interesting highlight that may sort of explain the whole issue. Ordinarily, lack of sleep may make you think you are forced to eat less with the notion that you would prefer to sleep than eat. But an experiment proved otherwise.
Apparently the trick was done using some photos of food on 12 normally weighted men. They did not sleep and after some scans showed a high level
When it comes to sleeping better, rocking or swaying could be of great help. This seems to be a great way for babies to sleep, especially when they are in swayable cribs but based on a study, adults can too with the help of some rocking items like perhaps a hammock.
Thanks to some researchers, rocking motion was found to help soothe people to getting better sleep. Through studying brainwaves, the scientists were able to finally understand how babies were able to sleep better wit
There are many ways that can help categorize the sleep quality people have and now you can add another way to do that using brain waves. It seems that some scientists have pinpointed to alpha waves to do the trick, something that emanates from the back of the head of an individual.
Scientists used to think that the wave was subdued and disappeared as a person fell deeper and deeper into sleep. Alpha wave activity may be the brain’s way of keeping people aware of their surroun
Here is an update for you. It seems that for people who find themselves shouting or crying are most likely to find themselves to develop Parkinson’s disease. This is of course based on finding by scientists who found that people who suffer from REM sleep disturbance.
Normal sleepers are effectively paralysed during REM or rapid eye movement because the brain shuts off the muscles allowing the body to properly rest.
But this doesn’t happen to those w
Having chronic insomnia is not really surprising as far as health issues are concerned but it seems that a new study has discovered that it could very well be three times deadlier. Though the scientists declined to associate insomnia with mortality, it seems quite alarming at how a person’s life would eventually be sped up as far as living is concerned.
Chronic insomnia was defined as experiencing difficulty falling asleep, problems getting back to sleep, awakening repeatedly o
It has been common logic for most of us to play some music to sleep and while we sleep. The first is of course to lull us to sleep while the second is to relax us and get our minds as calm as possible. But it seems that the latter seems to do more than that. Playing music while sleeping has been said to improve memory, especially for students who are preparing for an exam or test the next day.

Dreams have drawn various conclusions. Some say they are subconscious states while others claim they are a parallel straight of awareness. Others call them an emotional state drawn from what we have already encountered prior to sleep while others call it something as an omen. Which is which? There is no specific explanation for dreams. Scientists continue to debate on its frugality. But analyzing dreams is perhaps the closest we can get.
The latest analysis is that of tagging dreams as a physiological. The brain is warming its circuits, anticipating the sights and sounds and
At times where we find ourselves in the middle of having to make critical decisions concerning work or life, we would often be told to sleep on it. At this state, we can relax our thoughts and gather new ideas, making it all the broader as far as weighing out the pros and cons and that coming up with a final decision.
Many have tried to make judgment when they sleep. Certain factors may come into play when you are unconsc
It has been either a myth or something apparent that the right kind of music would help most people sleep. Now the right type of music normally falls under the category of soft to gentle music, something that will really calm us down and eventually get us snoozing.
There are various explanations made by Japan scientists and it would be great to know what they gathered based on their experiments.
In his limited laboratory experiments, Dr Endo hone
Often, we would like to find out for ourselves through research and reading the various origins of why sleep is becoming a growing concern. Apparently, the immediate source for such information would be sleeping books by the specialists such as the “Great Sleep, Reduced Cancer” by Richard Hansler.
“Great Sleep, Reduced Cancer” tells the story of how scientists discovered that the blue rays from common electric lights suppress melatonin, the sleep and cancer-fighting hor
