Old Man Problems in Advancing Years
We were eating our dinner on trays while watching the TV and I was aware that my husband had stopped eating. His eyes were shut. He appeared to be unconscious. “Are you alright?” I asked, hoping he wasn’t dead. A flicker of life showed on his face. “Uh? Oh! I forgot about dinner,” he said, picked up his cutlery, and started eating again. “I didn’t sleep well last night”. We were supposed to be embarking on a two-hour drive that evening, so I thought perhaps we should leave earlier than planne...

The Four Stages of Sleep and What They Actually Do
This article is drawn from Chapter 9 of my book, Make Sleep Your Superpower. It has been revised and updated to better stand alone here. You don’t need to become an expert on rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep to figure out how to get some, but a cursory understanding of the primary stages of sleep will illuminate why it’s so important to cherish efficient slumber, and why good daytime habits are crucial to successful nighttime sleep. Yet because sleep remains somewhat mysterious, experts describ...

How To Wake Up at 5 A.M. Every Day
I thought I was destined to be a night owl forever. I’m no stranger to reading about the benefits of waking up early or having the same sleeping routine — all of us have probably read this at some point in our lives. I’m in my final semester of university, so the past few years of my life have been absolute chaos. I have classes some days, work other days, and have free time on especially rare days. Having a routine seemed impossible. But a few months ago, I started reading Haruki Murakami’s ...

The Connection Between Your Sleepwear Choices and Intimacy The recent study underscores a unique link between sleepwear choices and intimacy, suggesting that people who sleep naked tend to report higher levels of confidence and romantic satisfaction. In contrast to those who wear pajamas, about two-thirds of nude sleepers describe their sex life as more fulfilling. This correlation hints at a deeper connection between personal comfort in sleep habits and the quality of intimate relationships. Sleeping in the Buff: A Path to Enhanced Bonding? Opting to sleep without clothing corresponds to increased levels of self-assurance and satisfaction in one’s sexual wellness. Many also feel that it has positively influenced intimacy with their partners. This may relate to the release of oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which is known to strengthen bonds and emotional connectedness. The Foundation of Health and Happiness: Better Sleep
Any resolution to improve health, seek happiness, be more productive, or otherwise enhance life is best accomplished when coupled with sufficient, quality sleep. Good sleep is a foundational element of well-being, promoting physical health, mental sharpness and emotional stability. We know this not just from many large studies of self-reported information on sleep and mood coupled with clinical health and mortality data, but thanks to volunteers who go into sleep labs and agree to be deprived...
