When it is time to get up, chances are you would not want the irritating sound of a noisy alarm clock around. As much as possible, you would want to get up as fresh as you can and apparently there are some alarm clocks that do not necessarily do it that way.

The Silent Alarm clock however is an innovative gadget that is sure to negate all of this. Rather than hearing those noisy chimes or sounds that irritate you, a ring is all you would need to which will wake you up. Want to snooze? Shake you hand and it will automatically do so without the usual hitting of alarm clocks we have all been used to doing and seeing from lazy sleepers.

“Silence” is a conceptual alarm clock that will wake you up without emitting any sound. If you need to be awoken, you simply wear a special wireless rubber ring. When the designated alarm time comes, the clock will send a signal to the ring which will generate a tactile alarm. If you wish to continue your sleep, just shake your hand to activate the snooze function. As time goes on, further snoozes will be harder to generate, requiring more vigorous shaking each time.

No one knows what sudden change of odors may soon set on the place where you are sleeping. It can be your room or perhaps outdoors when you decide to rough it. Either way, did you know that these aroma issues have a bearing on what you can potentially dream about once you doze off?

Just take the whole idea of bad odors in the simplest way and perhaps you could perceive that you are in for something bad when you sleep. It may sound fictitious but not according to the German researchers who have found that sleepers exposed to an unpleasant smell will have negative dreams.

Because our sense of smell involves such a sensitive and neurologically complex function, and because it’s so powerful in its influence on our behavior, it’s not surprising at all that so many scientists have studied the effect of different scents on emotion, memory, appetite, energy, and sexual arousal.

So the next time around, try to do something about an unpleasant odor. It can make a difference between nightmares and sound sleep.

We all know that there are different types of sleep that differentiates most people. Among them include that of light and heavy sleepers. What differentiates people on how well they can sleep is perhaps that place where they do sleep.

This is one thing that we can get out of this short video of Mr. Mann. Not the usual flashy stuff but the message is made real clear. Next time we want to sleep, we should take into consideration the external factors and then expect to sleep soundly.

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
