Articles Review of Sleep

Sleep is a physical and mental resting state in which a person becomes relatively inactive and unaware of the environment. In essence, sleep is a partial detachment from the world, where most external stimuli are blocked from the senses.
Normal sleep is characterized by a general decrease in body temperature, blood pressure, breathing rate, and most other bodily functions. In contrast, the human brain never decreases inactivity. Studies have shown that the brain is as active during sleep as it is when awake. Throughout an eight-hour sleep cycle, a normal adult alternates between two very different states, non-REM and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.
I choose this articles because the articles is best to share with other people.Besides,everyone on the world needs sleep.The sleep is very important to us because its can affect for our health and I want announce to everybody that we should get an enough sleep.
As the synopsis,everyone must have a sleep per a day because it is for a body health.While we are sleep the body can rest,the tissues can be repaired and heal yourself.In other to have a regular sleeping pattern,you need to start establishing  one now.An example of a good sleeping pattern is to go to bed at by 10PM and to wake up at 6AM.It is for a new sleep cycle to your body and mind will be adjusted.Furthermore,such activities can stimulate the brain and make falling asleep difficult.To condition your mind and body for sleep, avoid stressful activities a few hours before bedtime.Eating may not be an activity that can cause much stress but you have to watch how you eat at night because overeating can cause a major discomfort and may make sleeping a lot more difficult of you.An effective way to improve your sleeping pattern is to exercise performing light exercise in the morning and afternoon can help you sleep deeper.Make sure that your room is conducive for sleeping and resting.Design your room so that it is a perfect place for relaxing.Don't associate your room to anything that has to do with work and other stressful activities.As much as possible,reserve it only for sleeping and having intimacy with your partner.
I think that the articles is very useful to us for have a health.It is because sleep very important to us.So,I agree with the articles.
As the conclusion,everybody must have a good sleep to maintain their health.

Articles of Sleep

One of the most wonderful gifts God has given to man is sleep. Sleep is the time when the body can rest, repair broken tissues, and heal itself. While most people love this one-of-a-kind activity, not all people can get enough of it. You have probably experienced going to bed some nights and instead of falling fast asleep, you keep tossing and turning and find it hard to enter dreamland. You don’t have any kind of sleep disorder but there are just nights when you find it really hard to fall asleep. And when you do, you only get to sleep four to five hours a night. You’re not alone, because there are millions of people all over the world who are suffering from lack of sleep.
The problem with lack of sleep is that it drains your energy both mentally and physically. Most likely, you have experienced not being able to get enough sleep for three straight days and when you go to work during the day you feel like you’re floating from the ground. Lack of sleep simply takes away your focus and concentration, and if that goes on forever, you can be putting your body at risk for several kinds of diseases due to a poor immune system. The good thing is that there are several things you can do that will help you get the kind of sleep that you want every single night. It may require a change of lifestyle but it’s worth it since you’re doing it for your health’s sake.
Naturally, your mind and body follow a sleeping pattern that determines when you get sleepy and when you’re ready to wake up. This is also referred to as the “body clock”. There are several factors that can cause disturbance to the body clock, including your diet, your physical activities, and a lot more. In order to have a regular sleeping pattern, you need to start establishing one now. An example of a good sleeping pattern is to go to bed by 10PM and to wake up at 6AM. Try following this sleep schedule for two weeks, and eventually, your mind and body will adjust to the new sleep cycle.
Sometimes, it’s not enough that you simply decide to go to bed at a certain time. To help yourself adjust to the new sleeping pattern, make some preparations before going to bed at night. If you can’t condition your brain and body that it’s time to sleep already, chances are, you’ll really have a hard time dozing off. Some of the few things that can make sleep very difficult are watching television and using the computer an hour before going to bed. Such activities can stimulate the brain and make falling asleep difficult. To condition your mind and body for sleep, avoid stressful activities a few hours before bedtime.
Eating may not be an activity that can cause much stress but you have to watch how you eat at night because overeating can cause a major discomfort and may make sleeping a lot more difficult for you. If you want to sleep soundly at night and without any disturbance, go for a light dinner four hours before your bedtime. To keep you from waking up in the middle of the night to go the toilet, avoid drinking plenty of water a few minutes before bedtime. In the same manner, avoid drinking coffee in the afternoon especially if you have low tolerance to caffeine because caffeine is a known stimulant and drinking too much will keep you up until the wee hours of the morning.
An effective way to improve your sleeping pattern is to exercise. According to studies, performing light exercises in the morning or in the afternoon can help you sleep deeper, which means your sleep is going to be more refreshing and you’ll have lesser tendencies of waking up at night.
Finally, make sure that your room is conducive for sleeping and resting. Design your room so that it is a perfect place for relaxing. Install a dimmer so that you can easily adjust the light when you’re preparing to sleep. Make sure that your bed is big enough so that you’ll have room to stretch comfortably. If watching TV before going to bed is a habit that is distracting your sleep pattern, remove the television from your room. Don’t associate your room to anything that has to do with work and other stressful activities. As much as possible, reserve it only for sleeping and having intimacy with your partner.

Fact 2

The total number of smokers increased slightly from 2001 to 2007, with 49.87% of males being smokers in 2007, although there was a drop in female smokers between 2006 and 2007 from 18.88% to 18.26%. (1)

GLEE REVIEW
One criticism I've heard from non-fans of Glee is that the show is essentially American Idol with a script. And I could see how an episode with the title and theme "Duets" could reinforce this view. On its face, the episode's structure was little more than an Idol challenge, "OK, finalists, this week we're going to pair you up and see how you handle the challenge—go!" But beyond that, "Duets"—easily the strongest character episode so far this season—made itself into an story about how teenagers explore their identities by pairing off; and the episode both explored some new combinations within New Directions and re-examined the dynamics of some old ones.
One of the most fruitful character combinations in the episode was actually a non-duet pair, as Kurt and Finn re-visited the fallout from their fight last season, in which Finn lashed out at Kurt's "faggy" redesign of his room. Finn's outburst wasn't excusable—however much he was provoked and reacting in the heat of the moment, he was still using a social power imbalance between the two of them to his advantage. But Kurt wasn't innocent, either—he was coming on way too strong to a boy who clearly had no interest—and "Duets" pointed that out, through Kurt's budding interest in Sam.
Kurt's argument with his father about this did a good job of drawing the complexity of Kurt's situation. Yes, he's gay in a not-always-tolerant community; yes, it's unfair. And yet Kurt is not just an icon of social injustice. He's a teenager, who is capable of being self-centered and acting out just like any other teenager, and Burt points out that the fact that Kurt is discriminated against doesn't excuse behavior that, if Finn were a girl and Kurt a straight boy, most people would see straight off as creepy.
And then the episode further complicates that through Finn and Kurt's conflict over Sam. Finn is very likely right that Sam—even if Sam doesn't himself see a problem—stands to become a social target if he duets with Kurt. But does that mean he's right to decide, "I don't have a problem with gay dudes. Everybody else does, and we're living in their world." (Is it right for him, that is, to concede the world to the bigots?)
On the flip side, Kurt is right to say that he should be as free as anyone to choose any duet partner; but is he really making a neutral choice, or is he again picking Sam out of unreciprocated interest, or using him to prove a point? In the end, Kurt decides to take the high road, freeing up Sam to duet (and start dating) Quinn, but the episode leaves to us to decide whether they all made the right decisions for the right reasons.
Speaking of which, have we gotten to the point as a society where it's unremarkable that the most popular scripted TV show in the 18 to 49 demographic is also—almost without comment or controversy—the gayest show on broadcast TV? I don't just mean Kurt's story or the musical-theater component of the show; I mean that so much of Glee is dedicated to questioning gender and sexual identity and norms.
"Duets," for instance, returned to the bisexual-friends-with-benefits relationship of Brittany and Santana, in a way that actually seriously explored Brittany's character—her sleeping around, her apparently needing Santana more than Santana needs her, her basic loneliness. (The last scene of her pushing the meatball with her nose, alone, Lady and the Tramp-style, was a classic Brittany joke, but also really poignant.) Her hooking up with Artie at first seemed like one of those random big-events-for-the-hell-of-it that Glee sometimes does for excitement and laughs ("For a while I thought you were a robot"). But in context, her notching up another football player—maybe to make Santana jealous, but also because she doesn't know how to be otherwise—makes sense in context.
There was so much going on in this episode that you could almost forget all that wasn't there. There were essentially no adult storylines (probably a plus, as it was in the season opener). There was no Puck (his absence jarringly and unnecessarily explained by a juvie stint for stealing an ATM[!] that I fear Glee will never mention again). And there was thankfully no wheelchair football.
But the last and probably strongest pairing for me was Rachel and Kurt, as Rachel made the obvious-in-retrospect point that the two of them really are a lot alike: they're strong-willed, competitive and sometimes have a hard time seeing past themselves. And the last number made the point in a lovely way by recreating a moment between two real-life divas so appropriate that, had it not existed, Glee probably would have had to invent it:

One thing I like about Glee is that it operates on a different level of reality than other network dramas, and different sets of rules (or none at all). I've always been OK, with that, just as I can accept that in a musical characters break into song with backup dancers—it's a heightened, nonliteral representation of that character's inner reality. Not only does this make the show simply more interesting, at times it allows for effects that straight realism can't achieve. But the show does need emotional realism, and on that level, "Duets" was, thankfully, in harmony.
Now the hail of bullets:
* Speaking of Glee and sexuality, I'm hardly a prude TV-wise, and I'm of the opinion that producers should use the content they believe necessary to tell the story. But I will say that this is one of those episodes that made me glad I'm not watching the show with a tween or teen kid. The losing-virginity conversation I could probably handle. "Scissoring" I'm not sure I want to explain.
* Update: Among the other duet parings, I don't know if Tina and Mike will set iTunes on fire among the kids with a tune from "A Chorus Line," but I liked how the subplot dealt with the idea of what makes a "perfect" pairing, and whether surface (and even cultural) similarities are enough of a basis for a strong relationship. Also: good to know that Mike can talk!
* When the season premiere introduced Sam, I wasn't really sure whether New Directions needed yet another guy, nor could I see exactly what spot he filled in the ensemble. I'm still not sure I do (the blond guy spot?) but Sam's dorky charm is growing on me. Dude's got a Matthew McConaughey impression!
* I was impressed when I checked my watch and saw we were 18 minutes into the episode before we got the second song, but "Duets" still had a couple of performances that seemed to be there more for iTunes than for the story. But given that "River Deep, Mountain High" was so strong, I can accept that—likewise Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," though Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips' version from One Day at a Time will always be the definitive TV cover of the song to me.
* Speaking as a Great Lakes state native, some episodes of Glee really get the details of Midwestern small-town life right and others less so. But having the duet-competition prize be dinner for two at a restaurant called Breadsticks? Perfect. ("Have you been to Breadsticks? They are legally forbidden to stop bringing you breadsticks!")
