Do you have trouble falling asleep?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:52:03 GMT

clipped by: ronhuxley
clipper's remarks: It is ironic that I found this article given that I have had trouble sleeping the last few days. My problem is not that I can't go to sleep, it is that I wake up early and then can't go back to sleep. I use relaxation exercises, visualization and even a warm rice pack but to no avail. When I go on vacation, I sleep in every day with no problems. There is probably an insight to be gained there.

Do you have trouble falling asleep? What do you do to get a good nights rest?

As a chronic insomniac, I'm always a little disturbed when I learn about the lingering cognitive effects of a bad night sleep:

In a study at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 2003, for example, scientists examined the cognitive effects of a week of poor sleep, followed by three days of sleeping at least eight hours a night. The scientists found that the "recovery" sleep did not fully reverse declines in performance on a test of reaction times and other psychomotor tasks, especially for subjects who had been forced to sleep only three or five hours a night.

My problem with these studies is that they make me less likely to fall asleep. To understand why, let's play a simple game with only one rule: Don't think about white bears. You can think about anything else, but you can't think about that. Ready? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and banish the animals from your head.

insomnia is my white bear. My conscious goal is to fall asleep

There were 937,840 foreclosures in Q3 in the US, according to RealtyTrac, the highest quarterly level since they starting issuing reports in 2005. Let's take a closer look via giant sexy graphic visualization, inside.

Sure home sales have picked up the past few months, but is it sustainable, or mainly people trying to get in before the new homebuyer tax credit expires in November?

The 7-month program to refinance underwater homes has only reached 3% of eligible borrowers.

With hundreds of thousands of Option-ARM mortgages resetting this month, high unemployment, strapped bank accounts and cut credit lines, the housing crisis is far from over.

Human 3D Models - Who Can Make Use of Them?
By Andrew Stratton

Our body is a mystery that sometimes refuses to unfold even in the face of great scientific and technological advancements. But, with the human 3d models, developed by experts in the fields of biomedical visualization and medical illustration, there has been revolution in the way we understand our body.

The enhanced scientific visualization of body structure using them have come as a big help to many sections of society, including students, teachers, doctors, artists, etc.

Learning Made Easy For Students:

If you are not one among those students, who get fascinated by anatomy, but find it difficult to understand, you belong to a minority. But, for the majority of those who face this situation, the human 3d models come as a blessing.

National Gaps Between Rich & Poor - USA is No. 3

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:02:56 GMT

clipped by: thinkingblue
clipper's remarks: When I saw this headline, I thought for sure the ole USA would be at the top of the list but NO there really are greedier nations (people) residing on this Earth. Though only 2, for USA hit the number 3 slot.
It's a pity that the human race has yet to understand that we are all one, all traveling in the same direction of unknowing. Yet material-wise we struggle to have a one-upmanship on one another; a need of sorts to look down your nose at those financially beneath you due to hard luck or heritage.
The visualization of this gap is hardest to stomach. With architecturally handsome buildings on one side of the picture (You can envision those within these structures looking out their ivory tower windows at the ants below.) and poor people, on the other side, in fetal-like positions, huddled against buildings to protect themselves from the elements, cold, hungry and hopeless. It’s the food-chain, only the winners aren’t the fittest but the greediest.

Out Of Body Experiences

Out Of Body Experience Today

Astral Projection Binaural Beats

One of the more interesting tool there is to induce an out of body experience are binaural beats. Without going into all the technical details about how they work, what astral projection binaural beats do is alter the brain waves frequencies to the slow theta mode – the same frequencies which are naturally occurring during an oobe. By having the brain generate these frequencies brings about a gradual yet fairly quick altered state of consciousness. From this relaxed and focused vantage point it then becomes much more easy to exit out of the physical body using any visualization or exit method.

Binaural beats are simply sound waves that need to be listened to using headphones. They are safe and do not force anything upon the brain – rather they progressively slow down the brain waves to a comfortable and relaxing pace.

I was introduced to Success Visualization years ago by a college professor that gave me a book on how to visualize success. He told me to read and study the book. He asked that when I was finished with the book I should give it to someone else and give them the same instructions to pass it along when finished. It did just exactly as he asked and passed it on.

Mind Body and Butoh

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:38:19 GMT

clipped by: syncopath
clipper's remarks: from Wikipedia: Tatsumi Hijikata (土方巽, Hijikata Tatsumi), March 9, 1928 - January 21, 1986) was a Japanese choreographer, and the founder of a genre of dance performance art called Butoh.

Hijikata was an innovator in movement technique. He was a master of the use of energy qualities in constructing expressive movement. He would use sounds, paintings, sculptures, and words to construct movement, not exclusively in a formal or literal memetic application, but by integrating these elements via visualization into the nervous system to produce movement qualities that could be very subtle, light, angelic and ghost-like, or demonic, heavy, dark, grotesque, violent and extreme.

Laser treatment for snoring is a relatively new option. Known as Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) the procedure can be performed under local anaesthesia in the doctors office or under general anaesthesia in a theatre.

LAUP should be considered when behavioural measures are not able to bring about a satisfactory outcome.

LAUP may be a problem for patients with a poor anaesthetic risk due to either obesity or an intercurrent medical disease. There may also be physical reasons why this surgery may not be possible such as glossal hypertrophy, redundant oropharyngeal mucosa, retrognathism and any other reason that there is difficulty in the visualization of the laryngeal opening. A hypersensitive gag reflex would also rule out this procedure.
