Let’s face it, humans are creatures of habit and we become irritated when a new schedule is given to us every half of the month or so. We certainly have difficulties in adjusting our sleeping and waking time instantly. We may become lethargic, sleep deprived, and downright irritable. But if the schedule change is really necessary for our work, what can we do to adjust without sacrificing our health and social lives?

The human time capsule – science fiction plot or true story? Science and technology has advanced in leaps and bounds in the past decades, but there have yet to be direct answers about body preservation, time travel and human time capsule. A lot of movies have already portrayed human time capsules – which involves preserving a living human inside a time capsule that will be opened after a span of time. Is there truth behind such an idea or is it just a myth?

Movie characters who choose to preserve themselves through time capsules usually do so for the purpose of preserving their youth, knowledge, capability, and so on. One movie also used a human time capsule to let a group of people sleep for years while looking for another planet that can support life. But would it really be possible for man to sleep his way through an entire era? We experience grogginess and headaches just by sleeping over 12 hours!

MUSIC THERAPY FOR SOUND SLEEP

Summer may be nearing its end in the West, but it is never too early to plan for next year’s season of sun and heat! Many people consider their room as their sanctuary – a place for comfort and sleep, a little pieace of heaven on earth. There’s no reason why your bedroom can’t remain as your sanctuary even with summer’s intense heat. So how do you beat the heat during the glorious summer season?

Picture with me a beautiful house by the sea.  A guy suddenly comes across the balcony with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He strides purposefully towards a girl standing in the corner and kneels down with one hand in his pocket and his other hand giving the bouquet of roses to her.  Alas, he holds up a glittering ring and utters the famous but much-waited phrase, “Will you marry me?”.

Have you ever experienced tossing and turning because your mind is full of to-do lists?  Or can you imagine yourself half-awake because you might have flunked your final exam? Have you spent countless nights unable to sleep because you’re business is going through a crisis? Sound familiar? These are just a few situations that describe the effect of anxiety.

We all have problems that we worry about. But you should not let your anxieties take over your life, or your sleep.

A lot of us would laugh whenever we hear the innocent snores of a sleeping child. Perhaps it does seem kind of cute at first; however, if it’s something that is exhibited often by the child, then it is not cute at all. In fact, it is a cause for alarm.

Sleeping caps off a tiring day and helps our body recharge. We crave for our comfy beds at night, and when we finally lie down, our hope is to wake up fully refreshed and relaxed. Unfortunately, we sometimes don’t experience this happy ending because of nightmares.

Why Do We Experience Nightmares?

We experience nightmares because of two main factors, namely: physical and psychological. It’s important that we take note of our physical and psychological well being in our efforts to minimize nightmares!

5 Ways to Avoid Nightmares

1. Observe a proper sleeping position

One physical reason for a nightmare-prone sleep is in the way we lie down. Studies have shown that if we sleep on our back, our air passageway may be obstructed by a muscular tissue at the back of our mouth that is too relaxed to be held up during sleep. Some people manifest this lack of oxygen in their sleep by dreaming of shortness of breath and gasping for air. So consider sleeping on your side or lying face down with your head tilted sideways to ensure clear airways while sleeping.

If you are, good for you since it is considered as a talent by many. And if you have this special ability to sleep anywhere, here are some of the perks that you can enjoy:

1.       You can have a power nap anytime, anywhere. That means it is easy for you to recharge and regain energy after tiring activities. It is also useful when you need more rest but simply don’t have enough time for a full sleep. You can even take a nap during short rides on buses and even on cabs.
