From Dr. Mercola archives | June 27, 2013

About 41 million Americans sleep less than 6 hours a day and run the risk of having chronic inflammation and heart disease (inflammation causes constriction of blood vessels) and poor circulation.   2.5x more than those who dont. 

Sleeping late has the following disadvantage:

l.  Poor memory;

2.  Weakened immune system

3.  Accelerate tumor growth;

4.  Causes pre diabetic stage

Avoid sleeping pills though because they cause amnesia and risk of dying.

Sleep is the result of interaction between sleepiness  and noise.  If noise is greater than sleepiness you cannot sleep:

Tips for getting enough sleep:

l.  Have  a sleep sanctuary.  maintain temp between 60 -80 degrees F.

2.  Stop using gadgets before going to bed.

3.  Exercise before going to bed

4.  Alcohol tends to prevent good good night sleep
