When I couldn't sleep I just do some shoulder stretching like doing the yoga child pose. It helps to stretch the shoulders, traps area and some parts of the neck. For us guys we have this issue that it's tougher for our heart to pump blood upwards to our upper body, neck and head because of gravity. Promoting better blood cirulation around the upper body will help alleviate any soreness and stiffness around the shoulder/neck area. Help you overall relaxed and help you sleep better.

did not manage to google out the reason why it only happens to men and not the women. are you able to help us understand the reason?

 

is it because men have the additional appendage downstairs? just joking.  :D

 

but serious about the question.

most prob thats how nature compensate for men being the stronger and tougher gender. Got ladies us me, why men when they are sick they (fever/flu etc) act like they are dying like that (its her exaggeration).....hahaha! Women in the other hand can cope better with such condition. Told her it is how man's body compensate for our strength and robustness.......just have to defend.....so can only come out with such excuse.....

We have a more muscular upper body dan women. Hehe...

 

I now watch a lot of health related issues on Youtube. I already lost weight especially tummy area following some of their fasting technique. Clear my sinus issue. And some other workout methods. I don't have sleeping issues so haven't explore any sleep videos.

Lack of sleep can make you fat: Study

New findings show disrupted sleep alters metabolism, boosts body's ability to store fat

Lack of sleep has long been linked to obesity, but a new study suggests late-night snacking may not be the primary culprit. The latest findings provide the most compelling evidence to date that disrupted sleep alters the metabolism and boosts the body's ability to store fat.

The findings add to mounting scientific evidence on how disrupted sleep influences the usual rhythms of the body clock, raising the risk of a wide range of health problems from heart disease to diabetes.

Dr Jonathan Cedernaes, a circadian researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden and the paper's first author, said the findings pointed to "the irreplaceable function" that sleep has. "Sleep is not just to conserve energy, it has so many functions," he said.

Time and again research has linked shift work and lack of sleep to the risk of obesity and diabetes, but the reasons behind this association are complex and have been difficult to elucidate. Insufficient sleep appears to disrupt hormones that control appetite and feelings of fullness.

Those who sleep less have more time to eat, may be too tired to exercise and have less self-control when it comes to resisting the temptation of unhealthy snacks.

A previous study by Dr Cedernaes and colleagues showed that even a short period of sleep deprivation led people to eat more and opt for higher-calorie food.

 
 

To complicate matters further, obesity increases the risk of sleep apnoea, a breathing problem that itself disturbs sleep quality.

The latest study provides new evidence of sleep deprivation having a direct influence on basic metabolism and the body's balance between fat and muscle mass.

In the study, published in the journal Science Advances, 15 healthy volunteers each attended a testing session on two occasions, once after a normal night's sleep and once after staying up all night. During the visit, they gave samples of fat and muscle tissue and blood.

After sleep deprivation, people's fat tissue showed changes in gene activity that are linked to cells increasing their tendency to absorb lipids and also to proliferate.

By contrast, in muscle, the scientists saw reduced levels of structural proteins, which are the building blocks the body requires to maintain and build muscle mass.

Previous epidemiological studies also found shift workers and those who sleep less have lower muscle mass. This may be in part down to lifestyle factors, but the latest study shows that there are also fundamental biological mechanisms at play.

"Sleep loss by itself is reducing proteins that are the key components of muscle," said Dr Cedernaes, although he added that it is possible that diet and exercise could counteract these changes.

The study also found an increase in inflammation in the body after sleep deprivation, which is a known risk factor for Type 2 diabetes.

However, the authors said it would be important to investigate further to see whether the short-term changes they identified were sustained in people working shift patterns or experiencing sleep deprivation over longer time periods.

The link between sleep deprivation and illness is of growing concern due to the increase in shift work and changes in sleep patterns across the world.

Last year, a review of 28 existing studies found that permanent night-shift workers were 29 per cent more likely to develop obesity or become overweight than rotating shift workers.

The number of people regularly working nights in the United Kingdom has risen by 260,000 in the past five years, according to the Trades Union Congress, which estimated last year that Britain's late-night workforce had reached 3.2 million - equivalent to one in eight workers.

Accdg to trend, sleep is fine

 

E8B0F820-D8C4-46CD-8256-903C2DC6A016.png

REM sleep happens towards the end of the sleep cycle, each cycle around 2 hours.

 

REM sleep has increase heart rate and breathing so will resemble wakefulness.

 

If one dream during REM stage likely will recall the dream when awake.

 

Think most sleep paralysis happened in deep sleep stage, when body is still in deep relax state. The brain shouldn't have much activity then.

If brains "wakes up" earlier than body, then body still cannot move.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

OSA is linked to up to 5 times increased risk of dementia. 

Nurses who do shifts are about 50% increased risk of being diagnosed with cancer.

 

In an ideal world, doing overnight shift-work should deserve hazard pay.

This is certainly so. But the employer does not always want to do this.

Neutral Newbie

Recently have been tracking my sleep and realized that I am not getting a good nights rest

.

 

Case in point, see pic. Wonder if it’s age or the stressful lifestyle

Also , what apps are best to track sleep?

 

@dach dedicated to u too haaaa

Really like your apps, sleeping for a longer duration will improve your metabolism, encourage your hormones to be created. One more benefit that I like a lot is intermittent fasting combine which longer sleeps. You will have the much more effective anabolic timing to boost your energy and consuming food in the right way
