Working Shifts? Read this New Study!
Sleep, for me, has been a quite the learning process. Going to an academically rigorous high-school, I pulled plenty of all-nighters, and generally got very little sleep.

What Factors Influence your Sleep?
Sleep needs are determined by different factors, mainly age, individual and genetic characteristics, the duration of previous wakefulness period, as well as an internal biological clock that sets a daily, or circadian rhythm. Age and sleep: close to birth babies sleep 16 to 18 hours a day in time intervals spread around the clock. The…
How to Overcome Jetlag
People’s biological clocks are usually synchronized with the time zone where they live. When moving quickly across several zones, that synchronization disappears temporarily. This happens only while travelling west or east. North or south journeys have no impact on synchronization because the time zone doesn’t change. The severity of jet lag complaints generally correlates with the…
How does Alcohol Affect your Sleep?
Alcohol influences sleep significantly. Its most obvious impact is shortening the time to fall asleep (sleep latency), which is why it is a popular aid for people who have difficulty falling asleep.

Are you an Owl or a Lark? Morning vs. Evening Type
Our biological clock tells our body and mind when to go to sleep and when to wake. If that inner clock doesn’t quite synchronize with life’s obligations, normal people will be able to adapt.

Don’t Drive while Sleepy
A growing public health concern in many countries is the number of traffic accidents attributable to sleepiness.

Daytime Sleepiness – is it normal?
