Decisiveness and sleep
By admin | November 22, 2009
Sleep-deprived people may put themselves and others at risk when they need to make split-second decisions, U.S. researchers have found.
The study, which included 49 U.S. military cadets, looked at how sleep deprivation affected information-integration, a process that relies heavily on instantaneous, gut-feeling decisions.
The ability to make split-second decisions is crucial in a number of other high-pressure professions, including firefighters and police officers, the study authors noted.

Wellness Phenomena – StyleWellness Spike Mat: cure for insomnia, stress relief, reduced pain, increased energy
In the last 2 years, Sweden has been taken over by new wellness phenomena: a Spike Mat. Although the Bed of Nails concept has had a place in history for thousands of years, this modern method has received most of its support just recently.
Popularity of Spike Mats in USA is increasing. Sacramento Bee has published an article about StyleWellness Spike Matsa and before Thanksgiving there was an article about Spike Mats in New York Times.
Spike Mats have been used since thousands of years ago for relaxation exercises, meditation and yoga, as well as for healing the body and releasing emotional, physical and mental blockages. Regular usage of the Spike Mat may bring many physical benefits, aimed at managing stress, relieving physical pain and insomnia, and helping achieve balance and well-being in one’s lifestyle.
