Category: Benefits of Sleep

Here is a new sleeping pattern: don’t sleep for a few decades!!

Here is someone who doesn’t need Snoozester to wake him up! Thai Ngoc hasn’t slept in over 3 decades. “Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, known as Hai Ngoc, said he could not sleep at night after getting a fever in 1973, and has counted infinite numbers of sheep during more than 11,700 consecutive sleepless nights.” What’s interesting is that he is pretty healthy and normal!
Steve Pavlina has a post about this guy too.

Looking for a Sleep Doctor?

The American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABSM) has an online directory of “sleep doctors.” You can browse the U.S. directory by name or by state. They also have an international directory.

“The ABSM is an independent organization developed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining standards of individual proficiency in clinical polysomnography”

Sleep well, work well

Drowsiness at work can hurt productivity . According to this article, a 2005 survey by the National Sleep Foundation found that 26 percent of adults get a good night’s sleep only a few nights a month or less. Another 24 percent say they get a good night’s sleep only a few nights a week. This has lead to increased sleepiness at work.

It is important to get enough sleep for physical and emotional health; this page describes good strategies for getting enough sleep (decreasing the amount of light and noise, going to bed at the same time each night, ect.)

Of course, getting enough sleep is just as important as waking up on time! Snoozester SecureAwake Wake Up Calls help you rise and shine.
