Anyone who has had to move recently will remember how challenging it was to move the mattress. Depending on the type of mattress you probably felt like you were moving a very large, awkward, limp noodle. Many modern mattresses lack internal structures to hold them rigid. This helps a great deal when negotiating corners, but does not help when moving in a straight line. The box spring, on the other hand, with its rigid structure was probably at its most difficult when it came to doorways and…

When we think of sleep we think of it as something our bodies naturally do when we close our eyes, lay down and go unconscious, and we are correct.

When we sleep, our brain doesn't completely shut off, our brain is very much active when asleep. When asleep humans usually go through four…

It's troubling that falling asleep in class happens often for Charlie Cortes. I discovered that passing out during meetings might be a problem for him also. Instead of an interviewer, I surprisingly became a doctor for Mr. Cortes. It was very difficult for him to keep his eyes open. Unfortunately, I informed him that he suffers from extreme sleep deprivation, possibly destroying an alarming amount of brain cells. It was also hard to ignore the hundreds of dried acrylic paint drops of rainbow…

Everyone knows those people who dread waking up in the morning or those “Don’t talk to me until my third cup of coffee,” type of people. They are usually grouchy and show little signs of life until around…

Daylight Savings Time is bittersweet for me. I love the extra hours of daylight in the evening, but I hate losing precious hours of beauty sleep. During this time change, it gets extremely difficult to wake up early and on time in the morning, let alone fall asleep at a decent time. I have every intention of going to sleep earlier each night, but my mind is still going a million miles an hour and it never ends up happening. I have experimented with quite a few ways to go to bed earlier over the…

Not till recently has this beverage been challenged as the best way to consume caffeine. These two most popular ways to consume caffeine in the United States are clearly energy drinks and…

Ever wonder why we spend a third of our entire lives being seemingly unproductive and motionless? Studies and proposed theories suggest that there are reasons for this, other than simply being lazy and stagnant. Within our 24-hour days, several psychologists strongly recommend that 8 of those hours be devoted to sleep, and unfortunately, many people today compromise those hours to carry out other tasks, which can deal great harm to their bodies. Two popular theories that stand in the science…

1. Currently, I would like to work on improving my overall health and fitness. For me, this includes staying active, eating right, drinking enough water, sleeping, and minimizing stress. 2. I would really like to improve my sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. This semester, none of my mornings start at the same time, so some days I get to sleep in a little bit. Knowing that I am able to sleep in means that I stay awake later, and I really do not get any extra…
