@Zibago , in the article, except for the herd-mentality and capitalism induced "essential" mention about "over-weight", i think we can agree with the rest of it... i don't know how they extrapolated about strokes but sleeping for more than seven or eight hours certainly makes us tired and for many people because of social circumstance can lead to malnutrition because of missed food.

I used to sleep for about 2 hours in summers
My mom put a stop to that.

did you not have headaches, cracked lips and general fatigue when you slept only for two hours??

of course i will need to wait for a month for your reply because you have put your status as "going to states, won't login for a month" thing.

But the US researchers, from the New York University School of Medicine, found that those who sleep for longer than this increase their risk of having a stroke by 146 percent.

And less than seven hours of sleep also increases the risk, by 22 percent.

The academics, who presented their findings at the American Stroke Association Meeting in Los Angeles, analysed factors that contribute to the risk of strokes.

And less than seven hours of sleep also increases the risk, by 22 percent.

hmm
> 8 hour ...+146%
8 hours...primo
< 8 hours...+22%

BTW lack of sleep is how I stumbled upon PDF (and I assume a lot of others here considering the times they are on and their location)

 

[sady]

Well if that is the case I maybe dying young. Sleeping 3-4 hourse 5 years during college times, chimney smoker eating greasy hostel food , working 36 hour shifts for 2 years after college and now night shift every few days! I hope the European counterparts produce a paper with Opposite findings!

And here's me. Looking for some time to sleep even after a hectic day in college & when I get some, I start thinking about my studies and all the random things-----leads to---another sleepless night. #dukh

I'm a mess of unfinished thoughts.

I got into uni and that too in the States. I'll be kissing sleep goodbye for 4 years.

Congratulations. Good luck for your studies. By the way, which university you're going to? And what are you majoring in? Visit PDF sometimes.

If this is due to insomnia and not because of work or other engagements, you can regulate your sleep quite easily. Drink tart cherry juice (between 250 ml to 500 ml, depending on how bad is your insomnia) approximately one hour before you want to go to bed.

Tart cherry (also called sour cherry or montmorency cherry) is an excellent source of natural melatonin, an enzyme produced by brain to regulate sleep.

I lost my sleep when I was 15 years old. The situation only worsened after that. 6 months back, a colleague of mine who suffers from the same problem told me about tart cherry. Luckily, I easily found the juice (Turkish brand) in one of the UAE's supermarkets. If you don't find it in Pakistan, you can purchase concentrated juice online.

When I first tried it, I thought it would be the same like all other useless natural products. However, when I drank 500 ml (thinking 250 ml would be very less for a problem like mine), I was completely knocked out within an hour. It was so amazing sleep after probably 20 years.

Now I use it 2-3 times a week and I am really happy. The only thought that worries me is that it's very expensive and I may not be able to afford it after coming back to Pakistan.

Just give it a try. Maybe, it solves your sleeplessness problem. If your problem is due to melatonin, you will experience the difference yourself.

2-3 hrs when semester about to end, rest 4-6 hrs. Best thing is that it takes 1 hr to get to uni and now a days it takes about 2 hrs. Used envy u I-8 and I-10 guys but the distance became a blessing as it gives me 4 more hours of sleep.

Gaming helps to get those thoughts out
