Sleep Disorder

For most people, particularly the ones who need to travel every now and then, changes in time zone will force them to adjust accordingly and this includes the matter of sleeping hours. Some may have an adjustment of 12 hours advance depending entirely on the time zone that the region that is visited is categorized in.

When you get back to reality, you have to once again adjust. So what are you to do? Well for some people, sleep patterns can do the trick. Regulating the appropriate sleeping hours will always be an issue but for people like Ryan Hoffman, anyone can really try anything that will help minimize the sleep issues that usually befall travelers today.

Hoffman, 24, said yesterday he had been staying awake until the early hours of the morning, and then sleeping in until late morning, since the Storm’s first trial match against Manly on Friday.

Storm’s 21-man squad for its World Club Challenge bout against English Super League champions Leeds Rhinos, on March 1, left Melbourne late last night.

Players have been told not to sleep until after a brief stopover in Hong Kong in order to get their body clocks used to the different time zone. But Hoffman wanted a head start.

“They gave us (advice) to try and sleep later,” he said.

“I’ve been going to sleep as late as I can and sleeping in. Hopefully it works.”

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea has apparently become alarming in the past years and if people, especially the men are not careful, the consequences of putting their lives at risk may grow as each day passes by. Most of this obstructive sleep apnea has been traced towards difficulty in breathing and while many find it normal to date, it really has health risks that most people should start to be aware off.

Sleep specialists are the best people to approach to understand sleep apnea better. Proper diagnosis of what potential threats through the use of machines such as the polysomnography helps identify the sleep patterns and the spells of difficulty in breathing. We all know that snoring has become common but to avoid complications, it is better to visit our sleep doctor as soon as we can to eliminate any controversial health risks that may be involved.

Men bear the brunt of obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep disorder, which is twice as common in men as in women, causes some 12 million Americans to temporarily and repeatedly stop breathing while they sleep. The condition may seem at first blush like a mere annoyance; it can cause heavy snoring and daytime drowsiness. But medical authorities warn that it can be lethal, as it’s linked to increased risk of cardiovascular problems, stroke, and accidents.

Body Clock Adjustments


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.

 

Neu-Isenburg, Germany­ 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
