Sleeping a little extra

We have so many saying that doesn't encourage us to sleep. Let me start with the Holy books "Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare" (Prov 20:13 NIV). My lecturer do exhort us when he wants to teach us punctuality by saying "If you sleep all the time, what would you be doing when you're dead"? Others say why would you sleep for 8hrs a day? They say if you sleep 8hrs a day, you would have slept 10years of your life away when you are 30years. Now statements like this could be a good motivation towards achieving success because we hear most successful people complain that 24hrs isn't enough. Can we just examine why one needs to sleep a little extra.

Clinical research trial was carried out on four grown adult on sleep disorder for three days, three out of the four had blood glucose level which makes them pre-diabetic. Research has show that the lack of good sleep could lead to heart disease, diabetes, and even obesity.

Sleep disorder affects ones love life. According to research, 26% of people with sleep disorder can't perform in bed because they complain of being tired. Not having enough sleep reduces the leptin level. This is the body hormone that gives you the feeling of being full. People who don't get enough sleep tend to be hungrier and they crave for food with high fat and high calories which would make them gain weight. When one don't sleep, one gets tired and lazy to do regular work out; this could lead to obesity.

Sleep could help reduce pain. When you are in pain and you sleep the pain tend to reduce. That is why some doctors prescribe pain reliever with sedative. If you have sleep disorder or insomnia, TCM has something you might want to consider it's called Melatrol.

PrEP vs. Other HIV Prevention Strategies: Education, Condom Use, and Behavioral Choices

While Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective pharmaceutical approach to preventing HIV, it is important to recognize that there are other methods of prevention that can work in tandem or serve as alternatives.
