Not Sleeping Well ?

Tired in the Mornings? Teeny-Weeny bit Ratty? Not even got a Hangover but feel Lousy?

Aren't you sleeping well?

Leaving social calls till late in the evening can keep you awake ~ especially if you’ve been using a cell/mobile phone … Using mobiles can interfere with sleep patterns and cause headaches. Can they?

Dr. Bengt Arnetz from Swayne State University, Detroit, USA, states ‘We think that radio waves from your mobile phone activate your brain’s stress response system …’ The joint study also involving a team of researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden found that radiofrequency released from mobile phones appeared to cause insomnia, headaches and difficulties in concentration.

So it seems that’s why it takes longer to get to sleep ~ or contribute towards restless sleep!

* Having even one bad night’s sleep has been found to affect blood sugar levels. Apparently, there's a connection with our ability to stave off weight gain.
Oo-er, Don't like the sound of that!

So its back to the landline – ‘it’s for you / no she’s not in / she’s washing her hair tonight’ - cheaper calls, a good night's sleep and just maybe, waking up weighing a pound or two less.
