A study published in the November 1, 2009 issue of the journal Sleep shows that retirement is followed by a sharp decrease in the prevalence of sleep disturbances. Findings suggest that this general improvement in sleep is likely to result from the removal of work-related demands and stress rather than from actual health benefits of retirement.

Common hassles at work are more likely than long hours, night shifts or job insecurity to follow workers home and interfere with their sleep.

My life has been a long sleepy saga. I’ve lived a life constantly feeling sleepy. I was sleepy during my wedding. I was sleep during my honeymoon. I was sleepy when my children were born.
I managed to destroy to fulfilling careers without ever really getting to enjoy them because I was always sleepy. So sleepy, in fact, I would fall asleep while holding open houses. Other times I fell asleep while waiting for signals about commodity trades, including some worth from $200 million dollars and up.

Lack of sleep, excessive television and/or computer screen-time, stress, gambling, alcohol use, tobacco use, and other health-related issues are taking a toll on college students’ academic performance, according to a study by the University of Minnesota.
“Our study shows that there is a direct link between college students’ health and their academic achievement. This is the first time that anything like this has been published where grade point average (GPA) is linked to all these behaviors,” said Dr. Ed Ehlinger, the director and chief health officer of the University of Minnesota Boynton Health Service.

Nasal surgery to remove obstructions from the airway is associated with improvements in quality of life for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and symptoms of nasal blockages.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by episodes of partial or complete blockage of the airway during sleep, leading to snoring and daytime sleepiness. Blockage of the nasal passages also is common in OSA patients, causing fragmented sleep and leading to daytime tiredness and poor quality of life.
