Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Weightloss with Sleep

By Matthew Wong


There are many causes for overweight and likewise, there are many ways for losing weight. While different ways suit different people, there is one way you must try as you are already doing it every day, though may not be in an effective way. Can you imagine that one way is sleeping? This is not a stupid thought, it is a really workable ways that has already been tested.

There are tones of researches stating that getting enough sleep is one effective way to lose weight. One of them actually concluded that weight gain of 12% to 32% more for women sleep for 5-6 hours than women sleep for 7 hours. The other way round, it is not difficult to see most of the overweighed are actually having sleep problems. It is so difficult for them to lose weight as the bigger the sleep problems, the more weight they are possibly to gain.

Why sleep and losing weight are linked? According to many different researches, the lack of sleep causes the change in hormone which controls your appetite that is your hunger. When you are not getting sufficient sleep, you feel hungry even when you are actually full, therefore, you keep on eating.

Another reason for losing weight through sleep is energy consumption by the brain. Whatever you want to do, it has to go through your brain. To keep your brain working, you need energy. This is also true when you sleep. When you sleep, you will enter into the rapid eye movement stage which uses a lot of energy that generates from the food you have taken in the day. When energy is consumed, weight will be losing.

If you want to lose weight, sleep is a must other than doing excises and keeping a healthy diet. Do not think sleep is easy, many people actually have sleep problems. To have a good habit for sleep, you need to develop a regular pattern like fix a time for you to get up and go to bed and stick to such schedule. Besides, different sleeping time is required for different people. Some people may find they 5 hours are enough for them while others find that they need 9 hours.

In order to have high quality of sleep, other than a regular pattern, you should try to eliminate or minimize the factors that lower your sleep quality. Some internal factors like stress, anger, depression, fear, illness, etc really affect your sleep a lot. Try to relax yourself before you go to bed. Other external factors like light and noise also affect your sleep. Always try to keep your sleeping environment dark and quite (darkness is also a favorable condition to the growth hormone). Finally, avoid food or drinks with caffeine and alcohol (though a small amount of alcohol is good for blood circulation and good for sleep) too late in the night as they keep your brain awake. Sometimes, people really want to sleep and turn out, they are they are so awake because they try it so hard. You should get up at this point and do something usual to calm down and go to sleep again.

Losing weight through sleep is not a dream, it is scientifically proved to be workable. Just lie down on your bed 7 hours a night, you have get the result for your weight loss and good health as your bonus.
