Naps are not Enough to Revitalize Bodies
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 14th, 2007 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, Sleep Disorders.Naps are good but they are not substitutes for people who want to make the most out of their time. Naps are defined more in terms of time as in 15 minutes or maybe an hour. But authentic sleep is on the average about 6 to 8 hours for a normal person to be able to work his way back to full strength.
Many people disregard the proper sleeping hours a person needs to take. For some, sleep is a sign of laziness. However, taken into consideration, sleep is a requirement for the human body to function properly and avoid health issues to date. The need for rest to recharge bodies is a need and people, regardless if they are on the go or not, should acknowledge its need.
A short nap may be what people will be looking for but it may not be enough. A clear indication of lacking in sleep is that of forming eye bags, skin color, and low blood cell counts. These are chief indicators and if a person is not careful, he may eventually find himself passing out unexpectedly.

Longer Sleeping Hours May Reduce Weight

Weird but true. Some people who would find themselves sleeping longer than people who would have to cut short their sleeping habits would find their body weight lighter than that of those on the go people.
Perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that longer sleeping hours would lessen the probable food intake since people would prefer to sleep it off. Of course this could resort to ulcer, but the thing is, feeling totally refreshed beats the need to take in some food to offset the need for strength.
People who sleep for short periods are fatter than long sleepers, according to an article published in the German medical journal Aertzte Zeitung. Based on the finding of a US study, women who slept between five and six hours gained on average of between 0.7 and 1.1 kilos in weight compared to women who spent seven or more hours in bed.

The figures were compiled by Cleveland-based Doctor Sanjay R Patel using data gathered by the Nurses Health Study.
The study looked at 70,000 women over the age of 16 and asked them questions about their calorie consumption and sleeping habits.
The study also showed that short sleepers are 15 per cent more likely to be obese than people who sleep a lot.
An explanation given for the findings was that disturbance to the body’s day-night rhythm hindered the burn-up of calories. - Long sleep patterns can help fight obesity

The Issue of Sleep Deprivation among People Today
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 13th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Disorders.Many are perhaps wondering why people are encountering sleepless nights most of the time. Some find themselves too tied up with work or dealing with current conflicts or issues that need to be carefully thought of. Some just tend to focus on arriving at solutions to problems, something that is part of our daily lives and are sure to be among the usual realities of life today.

Sleep deprivation is only normal. People find themselves wanting to resolve issues at the earliest possible time since the clamor for relaxing time away from work and personal related endeavors will surely be something that will linger in their minds. Most people find this as disturbing but the fact of the matter is that people are deprived of sleeping mainly because they think too much.
It is easy to tell people to take it easy. But deep inside, it is easier said than done. People need to have a relaxed and freed up mind to relax totally. This is something that most people today fail to enjoy. Life offers too much obstacles and pressure for people to take them for granted. The truth of it all is that many of us today find ourselves wanting to relax and take it easy. If only life was that simple then all of us can sleep properly and free ourselves from dreaded issues surrounding sleeping difficulties and issues that we normally encounter.

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.
