Waking up at Night May Be a Normal Body Rhythm – Not Insomnia

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

About 5 years ago, Scientific American Mind magazine published an interesting article about sleep disturbances. The article features research done by a historian at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University named A. Roger Ekirch.

We modern people think we need 7 - 8 undisturbed uninterruptedhours of sleep per night to be fully rested. But most of us still don’t feel all that good in the mornings. So, what’s up with that?

Ekirch found that in pre-industrial times, people slept to a totally different rhythm. This was before artificial light made it possible to have “daylight” 24 hours a day.

In those earlier times, about 2 hours after sunset , we went to bed and slept for about 4 hours. We woke up and did all kinds of things. According to the article, between the first and second sleeps, people got out of bed and did household chores or went to see family and friends. Ekirch says, “They did anything and everything.”

This time also gave people a chance “for quiet contemplation or – if you had company – sexual intimacy”.
 
Then we went back to sleep for four more hours . Presto! We had our 8 hours, but in two chunks. And this seems to fit with what is called our circadian rhythms, which is our biological clock that influences how much we sleep and when.

Modern man has now changed this and ignores the circadian rhythm if it conflicts with our need for more social interaction. And it is not only the need to be around people, it extends to the almost perverse desire to be “interconnected” 24 hours a day. What else can explain many people’s total reluctance to turn off their cell phones, Blackberrys or PDAs, and have them next to their bed?

The desire for “nightlife” which is totally against our natural tendencies springs from the ever increasing pressure to work more and more during the day, leaving little time for real social interaction until after nightfall.

That leads us to a conclusion drawn by both Ekirch and other researchers, among them Thomas A. Wehr at the National Institute of Mental Health, that waking up after a few hours of sleep at night may not be insomnia at all. rather it is our body resetting to its normal rhythm.

However, since most medical researchers and practitioners are not aware of this research, they continue to prescribe medication and other forms of therapy for what they may be incorrectly diagnosing as a sleep disorder.

So perhaps waking in the night is just your body saying, “Hey, that’s enough for now. Wake me up for awhile and then let’s sleep again.”

And, if we’re honest, how often is our body right about what our body needs?

Listen to your body and by all means have a good night’s sleep!

Coping With Anxiety - Do You Have Physical Symptoms Of Anxiety Attacks?

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

While many people get anxiety attacks frequently, the physical symptoms of anxiety attacks don’t always look the same in each individual. If you would like to treat your anxiety attacks, it is essential to take stock of the personal symptoms so you are able to eliminate them for good.

A really common problem panic attack sufferers face is feeling like they are not capable to breathe. This could lead to a variety of other physical and common panic disorder symptoms, for example feeling dizzy or like you are going to pass out. That’s why one of the things you could do whenever you get a anxiety attack is breathe in and out through your nose, slowly and rhythmically. Even though this could be helpful, the feeling that you are getting smothered, or are choking, is one of the most unfortunate signs or symptoms of panic attacks.

Additionally to breathing difficulties, numerous individuals encounter heart difficulties. Your heart might start palpitating, pounding, or beating very fast. These signs or symptoms cause some people to believe that they’re experiencing a heart attack - particularly the very first time the panic attack occurs. Whilst no long-term consequences are going to happen from these feelings, it doesn’t make them any less upsetting in that moment.

Your body might also begin to tremble. This is a really organic response our bodies have when you are fearful or anxious. In times of intense worry this trembling and nervousness increases a great deal. This type of response can cause you to be even more anxious, and you might begin to really feel out of control. I am sure you identify this phenomenon if you have anxiety attacks frequently. And it doesn’t stop there.

Speaking of losing control, you might start to get the feeling that you are detached from yourself. These detached feelings trigger an odd sense of self. Even should you realize deep down that your feelings are unreasonable, it does nothing to help since you really feel so out of it. This could trigger you to start feeling like you’re going nuts or are totally losing your grip on reality. One of the primary concerns with feeling this way isn’t being able to manage the anxiety attacks. It is like an endless loop - the more panic attacks you have got, and also the more severe they get, the more likely you are to experience them once again.

Because the physical symptoms of anxiety attacks are so strong, and actually include both your physiology and psychology, you might begin to feel as if you’re going to die or fear dying. This is scary and really difficult to handle if you do not begin to seek treatment and help as soon as you can.

Obviously, overcoming panic attacks, and especially the physical symptoms. is not how anyone wants to live their life. It’s time to take action right now and seek the guidance you need to get rid of panic attacks for ever.

 

Use the right tools, get the right partner!

Friday, May 28th, 2010

It is difficult to get a partner , but it’s not because of you as a person , and it probably isn’t your attitude . It could be you’re trying to find someone in the wrong place . For most people the common place to go on the pull is to the local night clubs or pubs , but in reality this is one of the hardest places . Just think, when you go to a nightclub , With drunk people and loud music , how is it easy to meet someone? . No one can hear each other, and even if they could , It will be drunken nonsense . If you’re lucky or you even want this, a one night stand is the best you’re going to get from a club .
An alternative to try is the gym . It’s a good place to meet people . While working out you can interact with other people , chat about life in general , and ask for advice about the equipment your using . If there is a pool facility you can go in there , and meet someone you could ask out for a drink You may see someone there a few times, and get the courage to start a conversation maybe in the sauna, or maybe on the treadmill . Week after week you can try again .
Alternatives to the gym are other clubs. Such as swimming, martial arts, night classes and even the library. You will find after a while that these are much easier places to meet someone than a loud night club. Failing this though, a sure fire place to meet someone that wants the same things as you, has the same interests at heart and is looking to meet someone just like you is…. online! Yes, don’t get freaked out by this, it’s become the norm in todays society that people go online to meet.
Everyone has such hectic lives with work and hobbies that there is just no time to meet people any more, and while it’s surrendering the this new culture of fast food lifestyle we are living in, wanting things now… it is also a great revolution and absolutely no harm in it at all. In fact studies show that a lot of successful relationships come from dating sites every day. 
There are a lot of dating sites, including free dating   that you can try first before you decide to swallow your pride and pay for such a service.

Yoga for pregnant women is becoming more fashionable than before.
Countless pregnant women say it is a excellent way to keep fit. Practicing yoga at some stage in pregnancy is one of the best ways to mental preparedness and good physical form for an expectant mother.  
It is exceptional at preparing the mother’s body for labour and maintaining inner harmony.  By means of the right yoga routines women observe it is asplendid way to stay fit, as well as helping them with breathing and relaxing.

There are two parts to yoga, meditation and exercises. I will start by looking at the meditation part.
Meditation has many benefits and is an important part of prenatal yoga helping in aiding lower the stresses of childbirth.  Contemplation can also help enhance concentration and inner focus as well. Plus, it helps to also get awareness of oneself and a deeper sense of association to your unborn child.  
Apart from the above it is also advantageous in helping you after the birth to centre and ease the mind which helps restore a sense of balance, leading to a bigger capacity to deal with the strain of motherhood. To get the best results meditating on a regular basis for example once a day or once every two days. Of course this is dependent on how much time you have to spare and what fits in with your lifestyle.

On the Yoga exercises for pregnant women, I would also recommend you to consult your doctor first before doing any exercises. Even if you are practiced you should check with your doctor first. Next go to local classes if viable. There are a lot of Yoga for pregnant women classes out there with experienced trainers, and this gives you a chance to encounter other mums to be.

There are a batch of high-quality instructional books and DVDs specialising only on Yoga for Pregnant Women. Read the reviews and get the one that is right for you. Even so, keep away from any poses which you feel uncomfortable with. Do not do at all exercises such as back bends, headstands, handstands, the Camel and Upward Bow. Every pregnant women should keep away from face-down postures that stress the weight of the body on the belly, including cobra, locust, and bow poses.  You will also want to stay away from poses that might stretch your lower torso muscles a large amount, especially your abdominal muscles. Avoid balancing postures where overbalancing could occur.

Early research indicates that yoga done properly for the period of pregnancy is safe and could improve outcomes for the mother before, in the course of and afterward. Better physical form coupled with the capacity to relax and control breathing is unquestionably a boost to all pregnant women.

Yoga for pregnant women is an excellent way to tone your muscles, enhance your stamina, enrich blood circulation, relax and relieve tension because of controlled and deep breathing.
