Latest studies say that men who are suffering with chronic insomnia are having more chances to die when compared to the men having healthy sleep.

Women are able to cope with less sleep with out affecting their life than man. Scientists also found that less sleep can cause long-term health problems.

Dr Alexandros Vgontzas of the Penn State College of Medicine, said that “The primary finding of our study is that insomnia, the most common sleep disorder, is associated with significant mortality in men.”
They continued research on nearly 741 men and one thousand men who joined in the research in 1990s and provided a full sleep history. Researchers had also observed them for one night in their lab.

Feeling exhausted? Here is what you need to do in order to recharge your batteries

Exhaustion usually does not install sudden, it conquers your organism by slow movements, until one day you wake up and feel like the daily chores will never get to an end, the work you do has nothing pleasant in it any more, the relationships at work are not like you wanted them to be any more, etc. Sometimes the symptoms of exhaustion evolve so slowly that you don’t get to notice them, but your friends and the people you work with might observe a certain change in you and will draw your attention that something is going on.

Most often the first signs of exhaustion are irascibility, insomnia, a decrease in the daily performance exhaustedlevel, or even the sensation that you might be useless.  They kind of resemble the symptoms of a mild depression.

Effects of coffee upon health

A lot of people appreciate coffee for its taste, for the fact that it helps us wake up completely in the morning, and so they have included this no longer exotic spice into their daily habits, transforming it into a “legal drug”.

And I call it a drug because coffee contains in its composition a substance called caffeine (that is classified as an alkaloid as well as morphine, LSD, codeine) which stimulates the central nervous system intensely. You should know that caffeine is also found in other plants too like: cocoa, tea leafs, guarana and cola.

Discussions about the benefic effects of coffee upon health are still taking place, as well as the discussions about certain affections coffee could worsen or even cause. One thing is sure: for healthy people moderate doses of coffee (meaning 200-300 mg a day) are not harmful. But in certain conditions coffee must be reduced or even eliminated from the daily diet. We shall see why.


Warning: What can I do if I suffer of insomnia?

Insomnia PictureThis question has been on the lips of some friends of mine lately and so I decided to do some research about this annoying affection of which I am sure a lot of you have to deal with. After talking with a doctor and consulting some books I can say I have found some interesting things about this affection. Here is what I found out:

Insomnia can appear in some persons in the beginning of the night. These people accuse difficulties in falling asleep and they go the bed late having the certainty that they will not be able to fall asleep. In their case the stress of not being able to fall asleep is what mostly keeps them awake. When they are almost drowsing they wake up and fall back to sleep quite difficult.
Another type of insomnia is the midnight insomnia. People suffering of this type of insomnia go to sleep without problems but they wake up around 2-3 a.m. and can not go back to sleep any more. Of this type of insomnia suffer mostly people who have a depression or rough thoughts on their mind.
