Smartphone use before bed

How Sweet the Sound

Using a mobile phone before going to bed could stop you from getting a decent night's sleep, A research suggests.
A study That was carried out by Sweden's Karolinska Institute and Wayne State University in the US suggests radiation from the handset can cause insomnia, headaches and confusion. This study is the most comprehensive  and was funded by the cell phone industry. Published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium and funded by the Mobile Manufacturers Forum, representing the main handset companies, it has caused serious concern among top sleep experts over the "more than sufficient evidence" showing that the radiation "affects deep sleep".

The scientists concluded: "The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals

components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are adversely affected."( Read the whole study)
Could there be some truth?Well,I recall one time I received a 13 minute call before going to bed and I couldn't just explain what happened after.All I know was ,I was having headache.How I got the headache I still don't know.Could there be a link between the 13 minute call and the headache?
Of the Grace that never ceases to Amaze
"And the Last trace of depression faded away,I remember that smile on your Face ,that expression filled me Joy in my spirit "
Well,if I can refer to the study,then I think I now know the answer. Here is a  Thermographic image of your head after a 15 minute call 
.Could the same have happened to me after the 13 minute call?

Sleep Inertia

["Hitherto,I was blind to the meaning of Life"]
[The Answer to Life Questions ]
["And the door was opened"]

Do you ever feel so groggy after you wake up from a nap?I'm a victim of this. naps are tricky because you either wake up refreshed and relaxed or you have a headache, dry throat, and are unaware of what year you’re in

Although daytime naps provide cognitive benefits,some  often leave you with Sleep inertia  upon waking. It appears as the feeling of grogginess that reduces your ability to perform dexterity. Many including myself tend to dissipate morning sleep inertia by checking emails,reading rants and scanning news."My husband tends to hit the snooze  button more than 5 times and this snooze cycle is having a negative effect on me."Pam says."This has contributed to my sleep inertia since I always wake during the REM Phase". 
According to an IDC Research report ,79% Of those surveyed admitted to checking their phones within 15 minutes of waking up.This habit makes me  feel awake and alert much quicker.My  Inertia tends to be worse when  I take an afternoon nap.I wake up with this feeling of grogginess.It usually takes around 20 minutes before it dissipates.That's why I've ditched afternoon naps.
  A  Study in Ireland found that executive mental functions are slower to return to normal after a nap than the ability to do simpler things. That's why you experience a short term memory loss when in that state.

Shift the Paradigm: At times,i shift the model of how i view life and this helps a lot in self medicating bad moods.I always think thoughts that build me up rather than drown me down.

Write;When my bad moods wage war,i tend to write Seriously. This is the best time for that. Somehow, during those ‘low ‘phases, you come out with your best literary works. Jot down anything, poems, spoken word e.t.c.Writing helps in catharsis

Eat. I am a stress eater basically(hehe). But then, I think this works universally.I always take a happy fruit from the fridge.

Music This also works universally.I always listen to music that acts as a subtitle for my current bad mood.Works perfectly.It may appear to weaken but it makes me strong. RELATED:Why people have different tastes when it comes to Music Sleep.

When the thoughts wage war,i take a power nap and when i wake up,i feel refreshed.

Surrounding myself with Nature and Animals:As an empath ,this act rejuvenates me and at times i also watch videos of babies and animals talking.

A mental exercise: I think 3 times of something good/positive that happened to me or something i achieved today / yesterday

When you have a bad mood/thought you can remember that the blue sky (your calm mind/body) is there beneath the dark clouds (bad mood/thought) that come and go.Simply view the bad mood/thought as a cloud that is passing by, and not changing your calm mood (blue sky) as it passes by.

Leading Cause of excessive daytime sleepiness

Let's say you living with your roommate.More often,he or she tends to sleep earlier than you.Could be his or her routine sleep  cycle.So tonight is that night.
You are watching your favorite late night movie  when you suddenly hear a loud snort.Surprise surprise!!Guess who it's coming from?Your roommate.Then after a few minutes you hear the loud snort again.This goes on for around 25 times in a duration of an hour.Then your roomie starts snoring.You quickly wear your signature headphones and continue watching the movie. The next morning you ask your roomie of the loud snorts and to his surprise he tells you that he was not aware of the loud snorts which leaves you equally surprised.During the day,you observe the roomie excessive sleepiness which  widens the gapoff  puzzle.
Turns out the roomie has a sleep disorder known as sleep apnea.(where one experiences breathing pauses while asleep).

The Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes.(Shallow breathing)     Typically, normal breathing then starts again, sometimes with a loud snort.This disorder tends to disrupt sleep more so if you tend to have more apnea events  during your 8 hours.   When you're asleep, the muscles will relax, allowing the throat to collapse , causing  an interruption of airflow,during these time one experiences shallow breathing or breathing pause   which later triggers activities that tend to increase airflow which includes a loud snort and even snoring.
The more apnea events one experiences,the more tired they'll get when they wake up and also experience excessive sleepiness during the day.
