Adequate tip on How to survive a sleepless night

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in tips at  7:38 am

Yawns!. Good morning, Guessing you clicked this because you couldn't sleep last night right?.
Ok this would surely orientate you but I advice you don't do this often, like everyday!.
Everyone knows what sleep deprivation can lead to:
- Heart attack and failure.
- High blood pressure.
- Headache.
-Tremor of limbs.
- Nausea.
- Dizziness.
- Mania.
- Intestinal upset.
- Hallucinations.
- Visual and motor skills’.deterioration.
- Early aging of internal organs.
- Inability to judge reasonably.
- Memory and cognitive impairment.
- Rambling speech and fogged thoughts.
Obesity.
Different sleeping disorders:
- Insomnia
- Sleep paralysis
- Sleepwalking
- A lethargic sleep
- Hypersomnia
- Narcolepsy Etc.
After looking through such a long list of certain problem or ailment not sleeping could cause you. I don't see why we shouldn't sleep, because just like a car engine, Electricity generator needs rest to function well. If you work a Generator too much. It spoils in no days, so the human body.However there are some other reasons why we may be deprived of sleep  Sometimes we do not have a choice. A project, report and preparation for an exam couldn’t
care less about our daily routine.
When a person does not sleep at night, circadian rhythm of a man’s organism is broken with his/her own hand. Circadian rhythm is each person’s body clock which
mostly depends on the availability of natural light (day-night cycles) and establishes the time when it is necessary for a particular organism to have a rest and for how long.
Also, circadian rhythms are responsible for hormones, body temperature, etc. Each person
has his/her own Circadian rhythm due to the organism’s sustainability.
It is rather hard to resist circadian rhythm patterns: if a person dies from drowsiness, he/she has to go through a really difficult period of time. That is why it is extremely dangerous
and not recommended to drive in such a state! A man’s condition when he/she is deprived of sufficient amount of sleep equals to the one when he/she is drunk. There can be
periods of energy surge when you might think that the devil is not as dark as it is painted,
but they are temporary. A little bit later, you will inevitably feel even more fatigued, depressed, your reaction will become slower,
thoughts and speech rambling, movements uncoordinated.
However, there is a chance that your brain will work almost as effectively as if you are not experiencing sleep deprivation. 16 adults who did not sleep for 35 hours were asked to try to cope with a pretty complicated task, and they succeeded. The thing is that a human brain possesses an unbelievable ability to pull itself
up and set in motion different areas it would not use without necessity; it begins to involve its resources left for the case of emergency.
But it won’t be able to do it forever; with time, the results will become worse and worse if a man does not provide his/her organism with a
needed amount of sleep.
There are some ways that may help to distract your organism from an insurmountable desire to sleep when you really have to finish something important.
1. Do not grudge a few minutes and take a nap.
15-25 minutes will be enough for you to feel refreshed and be ready to get down to work again. During this period of time, a man enters the first and sometimes the second sleep stages:
muscles become totally relaxed, a heart rate and body temperature starts to drop, all organism’s processes (including metabolism) slow down considerably; organism begins to compensate energy losses. Pay attention that it is not recommended to have a nap longer than 40-45 minutes because then it is extremely difficult to wake up. Why? Because some people
can manage to enter a deep sleep stage during this time. After awakening from it, sleep inertia follows (a man wants to sleep even more; he/she does not feel rested; alertness and concentration are
on a too low level for a descent work).
2. Caffeinated drinks.
This method of staying awake longer
must be known to everyone. A man can consume such beverages as coffee, tea, energy drinks, drinks that contain guarana (berries from South America that contain twice as much caffeine as coffee beans). Also, caffeine containing pills are on offer at drug stores.
100-200 mg of this energizing
substance is enough to keep a man
wakeful for about 3-4 hours. As a rule, a man feels its effect in 15-30 minutes.
But you should realize that it does not eliminate fatigue from your organism; it just disguises it. As soon as its effect vanishes, you will be ruined.
3. Do physical exercises (directly when you feel exhausted because of sleep deprivation and during waking hours).
They say that when a man’s muscles
are loosened up, brain takes it as an
example and also begins to work
quicker. That’s why a person becomes more attentive and cheerful.
There was conducted an experiment.
Specialists investigated an awakening effect produced by a bar of chocolate and walking. They came to a conclusion that chocolate energizes a man for approximately an hour and walking – for at least 2 hours. They state that oxygen plays a key role here.
4. Switch a kind of activity.
From time to time, when you are feeling bored to death, try to distract yourself doing something else for some time.
Then, go back to your main task. You’ll see that it will be much easier to continue working on it.
5. Turn up the lights.
A human organism reacts to the
alternation of day and night. When it is dark in a room or outside, we have a strong desire to fall into sweet dreams.
That is why keep bright lights in the
place where you are working. It is a
proved fact that a man tends to make
lights dimmer or turn them off when he/she gets more and more tired. Mind and resist it.
6. Drink water.
Scientists found out that if a man is
well hydrated, he/she has chances to
stay cheerful longer.
7. Let your eyes rest.
If your work is connected with
computers or it requires viewing
something in the smallest details, you subject your eyes to the state of
constant tension. It can lead to fatigue and drowsiness. Choose some time for them to relax: focus your look at something else, switch activities or simply close your eyes for a few minutes.
8. Breathing technique.
When you are feeling deadly tired and
sleepy, try to breathe deeply. It will
involve more oxygen into your organism that, in its turn, will slow your heart rate down, decrease blood pressure and improve blood circulation. It is better to practice abdomen, not chest breathing.
Also, you can try to alternate short
breaths with normal ones. Do this
exercise for about 1 minute. This
method is used in yoga.
9. Let fresh cool air into a room.
An organism will be more saturated
with oxygen. Consequently, a brain will work more actively and repress the feeling of sleepiness.
10. Take cold shower or wash your face with cold water.
11. It is recommended to eat hard-boiled eggs, almonds, cashews, pecans, apples, bananas, carrots, toasts with peanut butter, brown rice, turkey, yoghurt. They will give you some energy.
Do not rely on your memory much after a sleepless night. An experiment was carried out in which 40 adults who did not sleep for 42 hours took part. After having run a few tests, it was noticed that their memory’s
capacity decreased by 38 per cent.
Sometimes, we do not have another choice but to deprive ourselves of a sufficient night sleep due to some circumstances. But it is important to realize that it is not normal, and
practicing it every single night can do much harm to your health and life achievements.

Ps: Do not do this often!.

When is the right time to take Green or black tea?

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in tea at  11:39 pm

This question is somehow.
"When to drink tea".
Tea — an essential attribute of our daily lives.
But in ancient China tea was not just a drink for banal fluid intake. First, it was the medication, especially green tea. In ancient times the Chinese did not drink it on every corner like we do it nowadays. They drank it at ailments in order to recover health and raise the level of vital energy. Tea was used according to nuances and subtleties of each person. Only in relatively recent times green tea has become usual daily drink. But even
now good tea can be used not just as banal drink, but to treat it with deep respect. Since green tea really has beneficial effect on all systems of the human body and spirit.
By the way, what time is the best to drink tea? Let’s see, what season, period of the day is the best for drinking green tea, when is it
better to drink tea - after or before meals?

From the perspective of Chinese medicine for each season there is a specific sort of tea.
Every Chinese knows that in spring you should drink herbal tea, in summer — green tea, in fall — young green, and in winter — black tea.
So, let us consider this in more detail.
In spring all of nature comes to life, but at this time, people often feel themselves tired and sleepy. In spring days flower tea helps banish sleep. This tea is very invigorating and toning. The most famous and popular herbal tea in China is jasmine tea. The aroma of jasmine flowers in combination with leaves of
green tea adds a unique taste to hot drink.
On hot summer days, it is the best to drink green tea because it belongs to unfermented tea. Green tea can be drunk cold or you can add a few ice cubes into hot tea. It is especially good thirst quencher, and, in
addition, it removes radionuclides from the body. In very hot weather, green tea helps cope with stress, and perfectly restores the loss of body fluids.
In fall the Chinese usually drink tea "Oolong".
This tea is classified as being somewhere between green and black tea, as it has not pass a complete fermentation.
As a rule, cold winter is for black tea. But due to the fact that green tea is full of vitamins, flavonoids and other useful substances, drinking hot green tea will be very useful to strengthen the immune system in winter, too.
Green tea contains a lot of caffeine / much more than black tea / which in turn stimulates the nervous system and improves the tone of the vascular walls, thereby increasing the blood pressure. Therefore, it is better to drink green tea in the morning or afternoon, but not at night, since at night the human nervous system is normal to have a rest. Also, this
kind of tea has diuretic effect, so to have a restful sleep, it would be reasonable to refuse a cup of green tea before bedtime.
We usually drink tea immediately after a meal.
However, in China — where is, as we know, the highest culture of cultivation and use of tea —
it's not quite true. When we drink tea after eating it dilutes the gastric juice, and the food is digested worse. However, drinking tea before dinner is also not a good idea, as it.impairs digestion. So, what time is the best to drink tea, if you plan to eat? — At least 30-40 minutes before it. In addition, very early morning is not the best period of the day for tea, since at this time our stomach is empty and tea will have a bad influence on the spleen and the stomach.
By the way, if you are taking medications, to wash down them with tea is highly undesirable. However, despite the fact that no
all drugs were examined for interaction with tannins and other substances contained in tea, most scientists believe the effectiveness of
a number of medicines, which are washed down with tea, is deteriorated.
So, what time is the best to drink tea? The main rule is — either one-two hours after a meal or half an hour before it, but not on an empty stomach. It can be morning or evening, day or night, summer or winter – all depends
on how a particular sort of tea affects you personally and what effect you want to achieve.
Learned something?. I prefer Black tea though!

Update: Why you should take Tea!.

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in tea at  11:21 pm

Tea! Tea!!. Tea apparently does more of good than harm to the body.
Read article:
10 ways tea does your body good and then see if you're ready to change your food timetable!
1. Tea contains antioxidants. Like the Rust-Oleum paint that keeps your outdoor furniture from rusting, tea's antioxidants protect your body from the ravages of aging and the effects
of pollution.
2. Tea has less caffeine than coffee. Coffee usually has two to three times the caffeine of tea (unless you're a fan of Morning Thunder, which combines caffeine with mate, an herb that acts like caffeine in our body). An eight-
ounce cup of coffee contains around 135 mg caffeine; tea contains only 30 to 40 mg per cup. If drinking coffee gives you the jitters, causes indigestion or headaches or interferes with sleep -- switch to tea.
3. Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. Unwanted blood clots formed from cholesterol and blood platelets cause heart attack and stroke. Drinking tea may help keep your arteries smooth and clog-free, the same way a drain keeps your bathroom pipes clear.
A 5.6-year study from the Netherlands found a 70 percent lower risk of fatal heart attack in people who drank at least two to three cups of black tea daily compared to non-tea drinkers.
4. Tea protects your bones. It's not just the milk added to tea that builds strong bones.
One study that compared tea drinkers with non-drinkers, found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight,
exercise, smoking and other risk factors. The authors suggest that this may be the work of tea's many beneficial phytochemicals.
5. Tea gives you a sweet smile. One look at the grimy grin of Austin Powers and you may not think drinking tea is good for your teeth, but think again. It's the sugar added to it that's likely to blame for England's bad dental record. Tea itself actually contains fluoride
and tannins that may keep plaque at bay. So add unsweetened tea drinking to your daily dental routine of brushing and flossing for healthier teeth and gums.
6. Tea bolsters your immune defenses.
Drinking tea may help your body's immune system fight off infection. When 21 volunteers drank either five cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea
drinkers.
7. Tea protects against cancer. Thank the polyphenols, the antioxidants found in tea, once again for their cancer-fighting effects.
While the overall research is inconclusive, there are enough studies that show the potential protective effects of drinking tea to
make adding tea to your list of daily
beverages.
8. Tea helps keep you hydrated. Caffeinated beverages, including tea, used to be on the list of beverages that didn't contribute to our daily fluid needs. Since caffeine is a diuretic and makes us pee more, the thought was that caffeinated beverages couldn't contribute to
our overall fluid requirement. However, recent research has shown that the caffeine really doesn't matter -- tea and other caffeinated beverages definitely contribute to our fluid needs. The only time the caffeine becomes a problem as far as fluid is concerned is when you drink more than five or six cups of a
caffeinated beverage at one time.
9. Tea is calorie-free. Tea doesn't have any calories, unless you add sweetener or milk.
Consuming even 250 fewer calories per day can result in losing one pound per week. If you're looking for a satisfying, calorie-free beverage, tea is a top choice.
10. Tea increases your metabolism. Lots of people complain about a slow metabolic rate and their inability to lose weight. Green tea has been shown to actually increase metabolic rate so that you can burn 70 to 80
additional calories by drinking just five cups of green tea per day. Over a year's time you could lose eight pounds just by drinking green
tea. Of course, taking a 15-minute walk every day will also burn calories.
Guess you gotten a marker and heading to the kitchen now
