A Reprieve for Sleep Deprived Patients
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 3rd, 2008 in How to sleep better, Narcolepsy, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Therapy.
We all know that sleep deprivation has been a going issue for most of us today and a lot of people, particularly the sleep specialists, are exhausting all means to find remedies connected with sleep deprivation problems today.
Apparently, some scientists from Wake Forest University have been able to determine another area of sleep deprivation. This largely deals with the brain secretions called Orexin-A. Whenever we are asleep, it usually follows that there are certain internal human body processes that occur and from the looks of it, this identified secretion of hypocretin-1 may yet help solve the growing issue of sleep deprivation and narcolepsy.
(Source) Orexin-A, also known as hypocretin-1, is a naturally occurring peptide produced in the brain that regulates sleep. It’s secreted by a small number of neurons but affects many brain regions during the day and people who have normal amounts of orexin-A are able to maintain wakefulness. When people or animals are sleep-deprived, the brain attempts to produce more orexin-A, but often without enough success to achieve alertness past the normal day-night cycle.

The Perfect Present of Sleep This Holiday
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung December 24th, 2007 in SLEEP News, Sleep Therapy.
Nothing beats being able to get that much needed time off and sleep from the grueling year that was. Many people have encountered sleeping difficulties and the best way to try and make up for it is Christmas day when practically everyone is on vacation.
You may say that it is a form of forced vacation. All around the world everyone is celebrating Christmas and while many are feasting and having reunions, there will be plenty of time to sleep and rest, even for just a day.
Sleeping through some parts of Christmas day can be the best gift that all people can enjoy.
(Source) “In order to best enjoy the holiday season, anticipate and budget the extra time needed to carry out your holiday ‘to-do’ list. Getting an early start and doing a little bit each day will save time and relieve stress. Delaying your ‘to-do’ list until the last possible minute not only leads to sleep loss, it also makes one contend with heavier street traffic and more aggressive crowds in stores,”

The Best Gift This Christmas is Sleep
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung November 28th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP News, Sleep Therapy, Sleeping Pills.
Outside the usual shopping and gift giving that is expected to ensue this holiday season, why not allow workaholics and people on the go a simple yet memorable gift by allowing them to sleep and recharge their lost sleep from the past year. There is not much to spend nor problem to give. They just need to be told to take it easy and rest a bit. Anyway, it is the end of the year and they do deserve a break.
What better ways to give than to have them sleep it off in their homes or wherever they are? That is perhaps the best thing that they can get this Christmas rather than giving them sleeping pills which may only affect other health aspects of their lives.

Mariah Maintains Voice by Sleeping in Sauna
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung September 2nd, 2007 in SLEEP Celebrity, SLEEP News, Sleep Cures, Sleep Therapy.
Being a singer has its hard times of upkeep and for pop star Mariah Carey, sleeping in a sauna may perhaps boost her melodic voice for the better. The throat of singers are often the most hampered part of a singer’s talent and through the help of steam in saunas, soothing and helping relax the throat of most singers will surely help them maintain and keep their level of singing to a manageable level.
This was not of course implemented by Carey alone. The advice came from the late pop singer Luther Vandross. But of course, sleeping does not mean she stays there overnight. Once temperatures reach warmer levels, she transfers to her normal bed.
The singer was advised by her friend, the late singer Luther Vandross, to adopt the bizarre night-time routine, because steam relaxes the vocal chords.
She said: “It’s for my throat. Sleeping in there will make my voice better because of the steam. Luther Vandross was actually the one who told me about the humidity being helpful for the voice.”
However, Mariah moves to her normal bed when the searing sauna temperatures get too much.
