HOW SLEEP AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH


Getting good sleep isn’t just important for your energy levels—it’s critical for your health, too.

Sleep is not a luxury. It is critical to good health. Sleep helps your body repair itself. Getting enough good sleep also helps you function normally during the day.

An average adult needs at least 7 hours of sleep each night. However, more than 1 in 12 adults say they don’t get the recommended amount of sleep.

While this may be fine for a day or two, but not getting enough sleep over a long period of time can lead to serious health problems and make certain health problems worse.

Adults who sleep less than 7 hours each night are more likely to say they have had health problems, including heart attack, asthma, and depression.3 Some of these health problems raise the risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. These health problems include:

High blood pressure. During normal sleep, your blood pressure goes down. Having sleep problems means your blood pressure stays higher for a longer period of time.4 High blood pressure is one of the leading risks for heart disease and stroke. About 75 million Adults have high blood pressure.

Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that causes sugar to build up in your blood, a condition that can damage your blood vessels. Some studies show that getting enough good sleep may help people improve blood sugar control.

Obesity. Lack of sleep can lead to unhealthy weight gain. This is especially true for children and adolescents, who need more sleep than adults. Not getting enough sleep may affect a part of the brain that controls hunger.


What can I do to get better sleep?

Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends.

Get enough natural light, especially earlier in the day. Try going for a morning or lunchtime walk.

Get enough physical activity during the day. Try not to exercise within a few hours of bedtime.

Avoid artificial light, especially within a few hours of bedtime. Use a blue light filter on your computer or smartphone.

Don’t eat or drink within a few hours of bedtime; avoid alcohol and foods high in fat or sugar in particular.

Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

Work with your health care team to identify obstacles to good sleep, including other medical conditions

Listening to calm music also help...........Kindly find one of the most effective songs that has worked for me personally .

THIS IS A TIE NOT A ROPE.....A PICTURE PERFECT TIE!

It's a new year so I'm trying out new things like hanging out more.......
He had his back turned on me but I could tell from where I was the he was good looking....
You know the kind of feeling a power-dresser gives. Did I also mention he also smells nice, his shoes were perfect and his haircut was neat and perfect. I couldn't wait to check him out....He was my blind date. I was already imagining going on a second even a third date.

Hi Wilson.... And then he turns.............
Oh wow! I said. He smiled and held out his hand for a shake. I shook his hand and took my seat.

How could something so perfect turn into a total disaster just at a single turn? I asked in my head.

My date was perfect from the back but his supposed 'power-dressing' was a total flop;
His tie became a rope .............



For a gentle man, his perfectly knotted tie is as important as their wristwatch so how do you achieve a PERFECT GENTLEMAN'S TIE?

Follow these steps:
  1. Hang the tie over your neck. You'll want the fat side about twice as long as the narrow end.
  2. Take the fat side, loop it over the narrow side.
  3. Do it again!
  4. Loop the fat end behind the new knot at your neck. Then take the tip and slide it through the hole you've created at the neck.
  5. Pull the fat end to tighten the tie, but leave a little slack.
  6. To add a dimple, put your index finger just under the loosely tied knot.
  7. Tight the tie as you usually do. Not too tight!Image result for how to knot a tie

    About the Bow Tie

    The bow tie is a descendant of the knotted cravat. It was born from the need for neck-wear that was easier to wear than the cravat and that would last throughout a more active day.
