Top States For Insufficient Sleep


In the day and age, many people are finding it very difficult to really get the proper amount of sleep. The reason can vary, in some it is wanting to progress in their work, spending countless extra hours at the office, even working when they get home. Other people may not have an excuse and just stay up late watching television or playing video games. The list of these reasons goes on and on.

However, what most people don't know is the damaging effects that can occur without the proper amount of sleep. Without sufficient sleep we can start to develop physical and mental problems. Among the most common results of insufficient sleep is lack of energy and concentration. However, if you go too long without the proper amount of sleep serious problems, such as insomnia, chronic fatigue, hallucinations, and even death may result.

For those that have a hard time getting enough sleep there are some states you may want to stay away from. A recent study shows the top states that suffer from insufficient sleep. What I was stunned about was the fact that California was very low on the list with only 8% of the population reporting insufficient sleep.

These are the top states for insufficient sleep.

1.West Virginia

2.Tennessee

3.Kentucky

4.Oklahoma

5.Puerto Rico

6.Florida

7.Georgia and Missouri were tied

8.Alabama

9.Mississippi

10.Louisiana and North Carolina were tied

11.New Jersey

Late Sleepers Productive Longer then Early Birds


A new study has shown that night owls (people not the birds) may have an advantage over those that are considered the early birds. First of all let me take a few seconds to enjoy this, as I myself am a night owl and would like to bask in the glory and true awesomeness of having some sort of advantage over those people that wake early and try to sieze the day. Well that felt pretty good to get that off my chest. Anyway where was I? Oh yes, awesomeness and how I along with my night owl bretheren possess it.

To carry on, a study was done where two groups of people had their brain waves monitored and reaction test taken two times during the day. The first group was the "early birds" most woke up at 7am, eww morning time with a single digit. And the second and obviously far superior group was the "night owls" who woke at around 11am.

Both groups received reaction tests and fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) 90 minutes after waking up and 10.5 hours after waking up. During the first tests at 90 minutes post-wake up both groups scored aboutu the same. However, at the 10.5 hours post-wake up tests the night owl group scored significantly better. The night owl group also showed that their brain waves were more active and could be more productive at later times unlike the early birds.

Although he early birds showed that they could recover from tiredness (sleep pressure) quicker than Night owls.

4 Easy Tips to Help you Sleep Better


Get into a routine - The best way to have a more fulfilling sleep is to set a regular sleep schedule for yourself. Avoid fighting against your biological clock by figuring out how many hours of sleep your body needs and then sticking to a schedule... even on weekends. Try to go to bed before midnight. Studies indicated that the hours you sleep before midnight are twice as important as the hours you sleep after midnight.

Avoid caffeine - Caffeinated drinks, coffee, and tea, will keep your mind running longer than you think. Stay away from caffeinated drinks in the evening and before bed.

Don't eat before bed - a light snack may be good before going to bed, but don't have full meals. Digestion takes a lot of energy and will keep you stimulated. If you are hungry before bed, try having a snack with a lot of carbohydrates that will trigger the serotonin hormone in the body making you feel sleepy.

Exercise - Exercise is great for sleep and stress. People who exercise regularly are less likely to develop insomnia than those who don't. If you work out for as little as 20 minutes a day, you will feel more relaxed and stimulated. Try to exercise early in the day so you naturally become tired by the evening. Exercise induces the body to release melatonin which is a feel-good hormone that will make you feel more relaxed and content.

4 Reasons Why Sleep Is Important

1.Recharges Energy - Sleep is a very necessary part of life that all humans need. When we sleep our bodies have a chance to "recharge." Adequate sleep is needed in order to maintain the energy levels we need for daily activities. On average, adults need eight-nine hours of sleep, children need ten-twelve hours of sleep, and teenagers require about ten hours of sleep.

2.Boosts Immune System - Our body uses sleep to repair itself and build things like bone, muscle, and tissues. Although the body does this throughout the day when we are awake, during sleep the body does not need to divide its attention and instead is able to focus its entire attention on one task.

3.Sleep Deprivation Can Cause Mental Problems - Adequate sleep has shown increases in performance and concentration, but when the body does not receive the appropriate amount of sleep the outcomes can be extremely damaging. The body uses sleep as a time to unwind and cope with the stress we built up during the day. By depriving the body of sleep we allow ourselves to become prone to developing insomnia, depression, anxiety and many other illnesses. Additionally, when adequate sleep is not achieved proper hormone balance is not acquired, resulting in things like memory lapses, hallucinations, and mood and behavior problems.

4.Lack of Sleep Can Kill - Along with severe mental problems, sleep deprivation can turn deadly very quickly. According to the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA), falling asleep while behind the wheel is responsible for at least 100,000 crashes, 71,000 injuries, and 1,550 deaths each year in the United States alone. Additionally, young people in their teens and twenties, who are particularly susceptible to the effects of chronic sleep loss are involved in greater than 1/2 of the "fall-asleep" crashes on American highways.
