Still wondering why a good night’s sleep makes a big difference? Well, perhaps this keynote from Jessa Gamble can somehow brief you on the reason why. Health is an immediate answer for this of course but if you want a more straight-to-the-point explanation, one of the things that will be affected is your body clock.
Sharing her research with some folks, Jessa bares how quality rest time is a key element to productivity and more importantly one’s health. Jessa bares that the sleeping p
Here is a solution that should help out sleep apnea sufferers although I am not sure how many people would be more than willing to have something inserted in their bodies to address it. Apparently the apparatus is a pulse generator which is said to be something that would be inserted below the collar bone of people.
The pulse will eventually stop the tongue from blocking the airway during sleep. The device (placed just under the hypoglossal nerve) will synchronize with breathi
Here is something handy and portable for the people seeking more sleep aids. This is the PowerNap Machine, something designed to help facilitate naps all in one portable design. The PowerNap Machine is a pocket-sized media player that features original and relaxing music composed just for Power Nap which fades away gradually, finally disappearing into the Power Nap sounds that rest and rejuvenate people who look for better sleep.
For the first five minutes of listening with the device, a person’s
While common alarm clocks are expected to wake you up from bed, here is one that politely does so to make sure you get up on the right side of bed. This clock which you can alternatively call as Jeeves, politely wakes you up in lieu of that irritating noise a standard alarm clock would give you.

A new snoring device is out in the market. This is the Snore Eliminator, a new device that gently repositions the jaw with a customizable gel mouthpiece that should aid snorers and provide them with better wakefulness and energy after a good night’s sleep.
This new snoring remedy boasts of a customizable mandibular advancement device also promotes good breathing and prevents sleep apnea. It is available without a prescription
Silentnight reveals yet another potential breakthrough to get some sensible sleep with their new Pocket Zing mattresses. They are filled with pro-biotic microcapsules to help provide better wakefulness in the mornings.
As you sleep, your body pressure activates the friendly bacteria, which quickly multiply to outnumber and replace any harmful bacteria in the bed. The friendly bacteria reduce mould and moisture, keeping dust-mites at bay and reducing allergens for a drier, fresher, healthier bed.
It seems that sleep loss is more serious that we thought. While we all know that chronic sleep loss does affect the memory, it seems that reflex action and other brain function can severely be affected as well. A study over at the Harvard Medical School can attest to that when they put nine volunteers on a specialized sleep-wake schedule made of 33 hours of wakefulness and 10 hours of sleep.
Using a series of tests, the researchers measured the subjects’ reflexes, motor skills
For sure some of us have had some episodes on wanting to get up from bed but fail to do so? Why is that? Some say it is the inability to move certain parts of the body which many relate to sleep paralysis. Apparently some people have had their experiences and if you want a scientific explanation from it, you may want to associate it with Rapid Eye Movement (REM). REM sleep intrudes into wakefulness, so if you don’t immediately click out of REM sleep and wake up, then you may continue to have this paralysis.
Hence it would be best to get some special help regarding this
There is a drug that was originally meant to aid seizures but based on a study conducted by the University of Rochester Medical Center, the same drug can be a great remedy as well for menopause women who have trouble sleeping.
The drug is called Gabapentin, a drug that has proven to provide improved sleep quality without the harsh side effects that sleeping pills are known to carry.
Gabapentin’s impact on the sleep quality factor in menopausal women may reflect improvement in hot flashes, stabilization of sleep architecture, or a decrease in the amount of time to t
Perhaps this logic comes from the common understanding that when you sleep, it means your brain is resting. And when you are resting it allows you to properly digest what had transpired as well as current events on a clear mind.
In research published this week in Neuron, Marcos Frank, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, postdoctoral researcher Sara Aton, PhD, and colleagues describe for the first ti
