“Sleep is the best meditation” Dalai Lama After a long exhausting day, there is nothing better than a sound good night’s sleep. Sleep allows your body to repair and rejuvenate itself and allows for fresh next day’s start. However, today a large number of people live an unhealthy lifestyle. Thus, leading to irregular sleep patterns.

Insomnia, a terrible health condition, is a sleep disorder in which a person suffers from sleepless days and nights and finds it extremely difficult to fall asleep even for an hour. While there are mainly two types of insomnia viz., acute and chronic, the symptoms at the earlier stages are common for both kinds.

A good night’s sound sleep is a sign of good health. Irregular sleep causes many health issues. OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) is one such common disorder which has been seen in increasing numbers amongst people in the last few decades. It later leads to more complicated health issues. Snoring is one such issue, which mostly happens due to OSA.

Sleeping disorder is a situation in which a person cannot sleep frequently or for quite a period of continuous time. A person should get enough time in a day to sleep otherwise it will affect the health and functioning of the body adversely. Not getting sleep for one day is fine, but if a person cannot experience good sleep continuously for more than two-three days, it is a sign of the person having a sleeping disorder and he needs to consult a physician or therapist immediately.

A good night’s sleep does wonders for our day, kick-starting it in a good, energetic way. It is like an energy booster pack that leads the way for an entire day’s work. If our sleep cycle is disturbed even for a day, it causes distress and problems the next day.

Some say it’s caused by stress, some have lifestyle choices to blame and then there is a handful who consider it to be a psychological disorder. However, from where the society-wide issue stares at us, some see current day use of touch screen devices as a menace adding to the long list of reasons that cause this painful sensation of not being able to sink into slumber, deep sleep.

Finding oneself in the midst of the wear and tear of work and personal life, a person often finds themselves in a tough spot to place their minds to rest and to close their eyes and dive into the dream world. The word is insomnia, and a person affected by it is termed an insomniac.

Flatulence can be embarrassing and painful at the same time. A condition that everybody experiences in their day to day life, suppressing flatulence may not always be easy. So why is flatulence caused? Flatulence is a result of the gas build-up in the abdomen and intestines. When the build-up of gas cannot be contained in the body for any longer, it is passed out through the rectum as flatulence or through the mouth as a burp.

Several people are plagued by the condition of being unable to enjoy a sound nights sleep. The lifestyle we live, such as long working hours, invasion of technology into our lives, drinks and high levels of stress has led to sleeplessness. Unless caused by a medical condition, there are easy ways to help you sleep.

Sleep masks are our latest obsession as they are easy to use and don’t make a mess on our pillows. Exposing your skin to the hot sun and hazardous pollution makes your skin feel dry and dead. Your skin needs deep nourishment repairing every worn-out cell in order to regenerate it.
