That midnight raid on the fridge could be the death of us. Scientists
think late-night eating and oversleeping can disrupt the body’s natural
clock that regulates our metabolism. Disruption of circadian rhythms
might play a key role in the development of metabolic diseases,
including obesity and diabetes. Source Link
Noise
can be a health concern, even when you’re not awake. Studies show that
your auditory system doesn’t shut off while you’re asleep and loud
noises can cause spikes in blood pressure, even if they don’t wake you
up. Experts suggest earplugs, noise-canceling earphones, or white noise
such as a fan to smooth your way to better sleep. Source Link
College
students who think they’re smart enough to multitask online in class
should think again. A study found that even the smartest college
students suffer academically when they wander onto the Web during
lectures. All students had lower exam scores the more they used the
Internet to read the news, send emails and post Facebook updates. Source Link
