Do You Sleepwalk?
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 19th, 2007 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Myths.
A person alone cannot determine if he or she indeed sleep walks. However, outside that of being seen by others, many would find it out the hard way. Some would find themselves in different places, some with certain changes in their bodies such as dirty feet or pajamas and so on.
Sleepwalking is a normal occurrence. It can victimize practically anyone. As taken from Wikipedia:
Sleepwalking (also called noctambulism or somnambulism), under the larger category of parasomnias, is a sleep disorder where the sufferer engages in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness while asleep or in a sleeplike state.
Hence we may tend to do some things when we are in the trance state. Are you aware of that certain possibility? Better try and find out before it gets out of hand!

Sleeping with the Lights On
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 18th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Gadgets, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Myths.
Call it something that kids would have to live with, people have made it a habit to have the lights on when they sleep, a type of fear where most would consider is really psychological in nature. While it may be something funny in the eyes of some, it is a reality that people cannot sleep conveniently when they are in the dark.
For people who may find they sleeping alone, this may not pose to be a problem. But for others who cannot seem to sleep with the lights on, it would be up for debate. This is perhaps one reason why night lights were introduced.
While it may not shed the light that most people would want in their room, the fact remains that people would want to see where they are and what things are around them, all visualized when they open their eyes at any point during their sleeping period.

Twitching Eyes Point to Lack of Sleep
1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung May 17th, 2007 in Health Issues, Sleep Disorders.
Have you ever got that feeling of your eyes may be encountering some twitching sensation even if you are simply just staring at something? Usually, this is normal for people who lack sleep or have abused their eyes by being exposed to radiation rays coming from computers or television or just plainly lack the rest needed just like the human body.
Eyes need to rest as well. Abusing them will have it dire consequences. Some would encounter faltering eyesight at some point while others may have blurry vision at times. Oversleeping is not an option. Doing such would certainly not be good towards the eyes and will also tag along corresponding headaches to boot.
Many have overlooked the proper amount of time that their eyes should be used. But as a whole, people should know how to manage the length of time that their eyes are used since rest and proper care of the optical side of a person should be given attention as well.
Many would feel that twitching eyes are only normal. But to most, allowing it to balloon at times may lead towards unlikely symptoms of eye problems which would occur. Hence sleeping has an impact on the eyes as well. Sleep is a need even if people believe that they can do away with it at any point that they wish it to be.
