Does the TV Really Help You to Sleep?

The television set has really changed our lives and many times, it has not changed them for the better. At one time, the TV set was only in the room where we tended to congregate during the evenings but now, many of us have a set in every room in the home. It is a constant noise that is going on in the background and many of us have become so dependent on it that we feel we can not even sleep without it. The fact of the matter is, however, it might be the television set that is robbing you of the sleep that you need.

If you are the type of person that feels that they must have the television set on in order to go to sleep, you might be surprised to learn that it may actually be robbing you of deep sleep. It is during these phases of deep sleep that our bodies rejuvenate themselves and our minds are able to sort the information that it has picked up during the day. The reason why it does this is because it adds noise in the room, something that is not conducive to getting a good night sleep. It may also be disrupting our sleep patterns as a result of the light that the television set gives off. This can cause us to have insomnia like symptoms that we may not recognize are coming from this electronic device.

Some of us turn the television on at night in order to drown out other noise that may be going on in the home. If this is the case for you, you are simply creating a noisy environment that is close to you when you are sleeping. It is a much better idea for you to get an air filter or perhaps run a fan in order to create some white noise. This will help to drown out the other noises that are in the house while still allowing you to sleep properly.

If you absolutely must have the television set on in order to go to sleep, make sure that you use the sleep function. This is a timer that is built into most television sets which automatically shuts it off after a set period of time. If you do this, you may be able to use the TV to help you fall asleep and then maintain your sleep because the television set will not be waking you up.

Discover how to limit your loss of sleep

Greetings,

Loss of sleep, even for a few short hours during the night, can prompt one's
immune system to turn against healthy tissue and organs.

Loss of sleep insidiously affects sustained attention, cognitive speed and
accuracy, working memory, reaction time, and overall behavioral capability,
often without the sleep-deprived person being aware of the deficits.

Loss of sleep also reduces levels of leptin, a hormone that suppresses
appetite, and increases ghrelin (GRELL-in), an appetite-stimulating hormone
a combination that can encourage eating.

Loss of sleep can even be dangerous.

Insomnia was defined as having any one of the following symptoms:
difficulty falling asleep, waking often during the night, waking up to early in
the morning and being unable to go back to sleep, or even waking up in the
morning feeling unrested.

Over half (58percent) of the poll respondents reported at least one symptom
of insomnia on two or more nights of the week.

Sleep deprivation also results in the loss of sleep benefits for cognitive
processes such as memory and insight formation: the building blocks of
learning, creativity, and scientific discovery.

"It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep"- Dale Carnegie.

Current research shows that loss of sleep is related to weight gain.
Multiple studies show that chronic loss of sleep may increase the risk of
obesity.

"An estimated 40percent of Americans promise to lose weight in the New Year;
however,almost 90 percent of those who responded to a nationwide survey
reported either occasional or no success losing weight.

According to recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association and the Lancet, sleep loss tends to increase hunger and affects
the body's metabolism making it difficult to maintain weight loss or lose
weight.

Restful sleep could be the missing ingredient in your weight loss program and
the answer to losing the weight you want.

A good night’s sleep, each and every night, can help you lose weight.

Health officials say that people should get around eight hours sleep per night
for maximum effect.

In other words, sleep is vitally important to maintaining a healthy body.

America's sleep habits are simply not healthy.

After all, if you're experiencing sleepless nights, you can't afford to spend
hours crawling the Web and searching the health sections of bookshops for
information on sleep treatments.

If you would like to sleep better, sleep without the aid of pills or drugs and
wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, then please visit:

Sleeping Secrets; How to wake up feeling refreshed

Most people have probably heard the oft said statement "we spend one third of our lives sleeping". However, we frequently read claims from health experts that Brits are not getting enough sleep, which is leading to an increase in stress and illness in our lives.

So what's so important about sleep anyway? Well - one way to understand how important sleep is, is to look at what happens when we don't get enough. Most people will be familiar with the effects of short term sleep depriviation, perhaps after an all night session on the town; grumpiness, irritability, forgetfulness and inability of concentrate. If the sleep deprivation continues, delusions and hallucinations can begin.

There are several key factors that affect the quality of sleep, including light levels, noise, how tired you are, and also your natural sleeping tendencies; some people are very deep sleepers so are less sensitive to external disturbances, whereas light sleepers are cursed with a low sensitivity threshold, and thus are more likely to be woken by light and noise.

A comfortable bed also plays a very important role in the quality of sleep. At one time, beds were little more than a pile of straw or other soft plant materials, but by building beds off the ground, people soon realised that they could avoid drafts, dirt and various house pests. In some countries however, sleeping on the floor is still the norm - for example Japan, where the vast majority sleep on a futon cushion that is directly placed on the floor.

If you are sharing a bed with a partner, you'll almost certainly need at least a double bed (rather than a small double) to be comfortable; anything smaller than a double is likely to lead to a cramped night. It's also vital to buy a firm mattress; spend some time shopping around and testing several different types of mattress before you buy.

Sleep experts also suggest several other things to help get a better night's sleep; firstly ensure that you set a regular bedtime and avoid long naps during the day. Remove possible distractions from your sleeping space, such as TVs, computers, books and magazines. Fit decent blinds or curtains to your bedroom windows, or wear an eye mask to block out light; avoid drinking any caffeinated drinks after lunch, take regular exercise and use a good supportive pillow.

If you follow these secrets to slumber, you're soon be enjoying deeper sleep, and waking up feeling refreshed and recharged.
