Sounds During Sleep May Help You Remember

Summary: 

This article about sounds during the sleep may help you to remember. You may not be able to learn a foreign language in your sleep, but you can strengthen certain memories, according to a study in the journal Science.The study, led by researchers at Northwestern University, found that hearing certain sounds during a nap helped people remember information associated with those sounds once they woke up.Rudoy and a team of researchers thought it might be possible to influence which memories the brain strengthened during sleep. So they recruited a dozen volunteers and taught them to play a special game on the computer.Once brain monitors showed that a person was deeply asleep, the scientists began to play the sound cues for some, but not all, of the images.

Reaction:

I think that sleep is very important to be able to focus in the human affairs of life. Also I heard abd read about the same this article there is studies about this A recent scientific study conducted by researchers at Harvard University in Boston, America, that sleep works to improve mental and cognitive capacity of the human person and thus help remember information private school.
And preached the study on the effect of sleep on declarative memory aspects of dealing with the facts and events, to the adult students of university age. 

Through the comparison between individuals who Khaldoa to sleep and others deprived him the researchers found that the first group they have the ability to recover most of what they have learned, as compared to other colleagues, our newspaper reported the Middle East. 

Previous studies have shown that sleep plays an active role in focusing the memory and coherence, as well as an effect of sleep on learning effectiveness, particularly on aspects of memory associated with sensory perception.

Reaction about comments:

I agree with Rolf that she said I respectfully disagree Chris. Being a 'student' of said subliminal persuasion and the like, (the non bogus type), I am quite serious about this and it totally works. Its the closed minds that don't allow it to be effective. There are some excellent programs available and they have changed my life, all in a positive way. I work better, live better, sleep when I want, etc...

Also Jonathan Miller (JMills) that she said I wonder if the emotions associated with the pieces of knowlege are also strenghthened / understood better when presented to subjects during sleep...my girlfriend and I put a new tag on my dog's collar that makes an annoying ringing sound with every step my dog takes...while we were sleeping, our dog (Budget) was walking around the house clinking her collar. When we woke up I had to take the collar off; almost as if the ringing of the collar reinforced / strenghthened the negative feelings i felt towards the sound before i went to sleep. Interested to see an experiment that explores intensity of happy / sad responses towards sounds associated with events, before and after a nap during which these sounds were played for the participants.

Eating Animals Is Making Us Sick

Summary:

This article about eating animals and the resking results on ate it. If the way we raise animals for food isn't the most important problem in the world right now, it's arguably the No. 1 cause of global warming: The United Nations reports the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined.It's the No. 1 cause of animal suffering, a decisive factor in the creation of zoonotic diseases like bird and swine flu, and the list goes on. It is the problem with the most deafening silence surrounding it. 

We need a better way to talk about eating animals, a way that doesn't ignore or even just shruggingly accept things like habits, cravings, family and history but rather incorporates them into the conversation. The more they are allowed in, the more able we will be to follow our best instincts. And although there are many respectable ways to think about meat, there is not a person on Earth whose best instincts would lead him or her to factory farming.

Reaction:

I accepted with many information at this article because many people in the world ate the animals specially eating meat then after a little time they became so sick and had a problem in thier stomach because they didn't cooked the meat very well. When I cooked the meat I put it  for an hour and until the water reached the boiling point and the harmful worms in the meat died. And many things in animals is so danger I don't know how the people like to eat all things in the animals !! I read it about many risks about it.

Bad sleeping 'doubles heart risk'

Summary
Researchers say both too much and too little sleep is linked to a doubled risk of fatal cardiovascular disease. They found a doubled risk among those who cut their sleeping from seven to five hours a night compared to those who stuck to seven hours a night. But the risk was similar for those who increased to at least eight hours. The researchers took into account other possible factors such age, sex, marital status, employment grade, smoking status and physical activity.

Professor Cappuccio said lack of sleep had been linked to an increased risk of weight gain, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

However, he said the link between too much sleep and poor health was less clear, although he suggested that staying in bed for prolonged periods could be a sign of depression, or, in some cases, cancer-related fatigue.

Reactions:

Increased risk of heart disease with increased number of deaths from self-effort and lack of comfort and lack of sleep is good it's around the world. It's often the students and staff for not taking enough rest and sleep well. You must do an awareness campaign to reduce heart disease, which causes the increase in cases of death in the world.
