Sleep is the best
medicine
Want to do LIFE better, sleep better.
Sleep, like breathing, is an essential function
that our bodies perform to support us during the awake hours. Although, unlike
breathing, blinking and other autonomous functions, sleep requires an active
effort to commence, but the impact
of this activity supports all human functions. We've all had throbbing headaches at least once in our
lifetime due to inadequate sleep. While headaches are the short term
consequences, sleep deprivation also increases the risk of following health
issues:
●
Obesity ●
Cardiovascular Disease ●
Diabetes mellitus ●
Motor vehicle Accident ●
Mental health: anxiety &
depression
Sleep deprivation can make you less charitable
This fact was recently established by the
journal PLOS Biology which explained how inadequate
sleep makes people less likely to help others.
Previous research also associated poor
sleep with a lack of emotional processing, empathy and other prosocial behaviors like voting.
More experiments
The present studies were conducted in these three
following experiments, each with a different approach to assess the situation
further:
- Experiment 1: An
individual was examined with the help of a questionnaire followed by a functional MRI on separate days to
determine his willingness to be helpful to others. There was an increase
in the willingness to help others right after being rested than after
being sleep deprived.
- Experiment 2: This
time a group of 171 participants was instructed to maintain a sleep diary
following which they answered an online questionnaire. This experiment
sheds light on the quality of sleep one needs to function.
- Experiment
3: A set of data from a national charity were
assessed by researchers to which they noticed a significant reduction in
donation amounts during daylight savings time. This highlighted the real-world
impact of sleep deprivation that is effecting at the national level.

- Loneliness is your enemy:
Elderly and women being the worst affected, a study showing loneliness was found to be one
of the major causes of the early cognitive decline and memory loss.
- Don't ignore that itch: Factors
like dry skin, eczema, seasonal change, and reaction to
skincare or laundry products can cause an itchy sensation after a shower.
- Microsoft is still leading:
Major health systems still rely on Microsoft for the cloud over Amazon or
Google according to KLAS Research report. According to them, they
find the newer, more advanced version of Microsoft products reliable and more
stable.
- Good Night's sleep: With
the staggering number of people getting less sleep
than recommended, more often than not a good sleep hygiene routine can help.
- Physician assistants’
salary by state: No surprise here. Yes, PAs’ salary varies from state to state
across the United States. According to the survey done by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics' occupational employment statistics, the highest annual salary was
reported in Rhode Island ($146,880) while the lowest in Arkansas ($71,640).
