Sleep

[ChutneyLove]

Have you tried taking the "gentleman's" way out? Usually works - unless it's the Heebie Jeebies you have - of which there is no known cure.

[daytripping]

Herbie jeebies sounds about right, I'm sure I'll be knocking in 8 hours by Wednesday.

 

Away to put the head down and see if I can get an hour in before work.

Then his wife will wake up thinking there is an earthquake, find out he is wanking and then ask why he has to do that when he can't satisfy her sexually. Neither of them will be sleeping after that.

Second night in a row sleepless, nae good.

I think you're subconciously worried about not having a ticket for the final yet, and your blaise stance on here about it is a cover.

Buy your ticket, sleep easy at night.

Believe me when I say tickets are the least of my worries just now.

 

I shall overcome and sleep tonight, feel like a fucking zombie today.

DT min what's the real problem; you're too good to be worried about sleep deprivation.

 

The man I know wouldn't bat an eyelid at lack of sleep; in fact he'd positively embrace it.

 

You're a long time dead bro

 

Its better to burn out than fade away an

I'll sleep when I'm dead

[daytripping]

Happy birthday bro!!

 

I think it's today, have you seen my newly found France 98 pic on fb? Leader in the middle, some others going up later but need to blur the faces, some naughty things in some hands.

 

I'll tell you the problem later off board, big boy shit.

[Bluto10]

You're a week to early bro

 

Will check it out.

 

Hope your alright

Society has become "supremely arrogant" in ignoring the importance of sleep, leading researchers have told the BBC's Day of the Body Clock.

Scientists from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Manchester and Surrey universities warn cutting sleep is leading to "serious health problems".

They say people and governments need to take the problem seriously.

Cancer, heart disease, type-2 diabetes, infections and obesity have all been linked to reduced sleep.

The body clock drives huge changes in the human body.

It alters alertness, mood, physical strength and even the risk of a heart attack in a daily rhythm.

It stems from our evolutionary past when we were active in the day and resting at night.

But scientists have warned that modern life and 24-hour society mean many people are now "living against" their body clocks with damaging consequences for health and wellbeing.

Prof Russell Foster, at the University of Oxford, said people were getting between one and two hours less sleep a night than 60 years ago.

He said: "We are the supremely arrogant species; we feel we can abandon four billion years of evolution and ignore the fact that we have evolved under a light-dark cycle.

"What we do as a species, perhaps uniquely, is override the clock. And long-term acting against the clock can lead to serious health problems."

He says this is an issue affecting the whole of society, not just shift workers.

Prof Foster said that this was an acute problem in teenagers and he had met children who sleep by popping their parent's sleeping tablets in the evening and then downing three Red Bulls in the morning.

Emerging evidence suggests modern technology is now keeping us up later into the night and cutting sleep.

"Light is the most powerful synchroniser of your internal biological clock," Prof Charles Czeisler, from Harvard University, told the BBC Day of the Body Clock.

He said energy efficient light bulbs as well as smartphones, tablets and computers had high levels of light in the blue end of the spectrum which is "right in the sweet spot" for disrupting the body clock.

"Light exposure, especially short wavelength blue-ish light in the evening, will reset our circadian rhythms to a later hour, postponing the release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin and making it more difficult for us to get up in the morning.

"It's a big concern that we're being exposed to much more light, sleeping less and, as a consequence, may suffer from many chronic diseases."

Pioneering genetic research is now uncovering how living life against the clock is damaging our health.

About 10% of human DNA has a 24-hour pattern of activity, which is behind all the behavioural and physiological changes in the body.

But studies have shown rhythm can be disrupted by short sleep durations or shift work.

Dr Simon Archer, who conducted the studies at the University of Surrey, said there was a "large impact" on how the body ran.

"These are all fundamental biological pathways that can be underlying links to some of the negative health outcomes that we see such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and potentially cancer in people who don't get enough sleep or do shift work," he said.

Experiments show people can become pre-diabetic after a few weeks of shift work.

Dr Akhilesh Reddy, from the University of Cambridge, said the body clock influences every biological process in the human body and the health consequences of living against the clock were "pretty clear cut", particularly in breast cancer.

He said: "Try to live more rhythmically, in tune with the environment and not have too much bright light before bedtime because it will affect the clock and sleep."

Prof Andrew Loudon, from the University of Manchester, said: "The problems caused by living against the body clock may be less sexy than the countless 'this or that causes cancer stories' it is none-the-less a major problem for society."

"You might not notice any short-term changes in your health following circadian disruption, but over a long period of time, the consequences could be quite severe.

"Governments need to take this seriously, starting perhaps with reviewing the health consequences of shift work, and society and legislators needs to take this on board."

 

 

Could do with a bit more sleep just now.

Go and spend ten minutes in the company of yourself then

[minijc]

Been having trouble with my sleep for about 10 months now, some nights not getting to sleep until after 12 despite being in bed early and when I do get sleep I tend to waken up through it and panic a little bit, very weird but can't seem to sort it.

[minijc]

Your not happy with your life. Brain activity keeping you awake.

Pretty much, too much yoloing last year and being LTD has taken it's toll

[minijc]

Get a fulfilling hobby.

 

I'm currently taking flying lessons to impress the ladies.

Getting back in to my golf then I plan to get back in to my snooker once the good weather fucks off.

[minijc]

That's the fucking spirit.

 

Would a shit round of golf keep you awake though? 8 lost balls, round in 129 and kids taunting you from the bushes?

 

Could be counterproductive.

 

Get a motorbike, one of life's most effective soothers, like sucking on mamas teat.

Nope, I shot a 108 last week which was ok considering how poor I played, all i've done since is try to work out where to iprove on it, away for a few hour practise today cos it's sunny.

 

Since watching SOA I've been finding a lot of love for bikes and gangs, doubt I could go a bike though, probs kill myself.

Goodyear Blimp.

[dunc_afc]

Modern life is rubbish, I barely have time to get in my 12 hours a night these days.

[minijc]

I'm away to drop the smallest tiddly peep off at nursery then hit the highway.

 

To feel the air through your beard and the vibration of the pistons through your balls is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.

 

Where you practising? I'll do you a drive-by.

Nigg bay in about 2 hours time I imagine, I'll be the guy in shorts with a strong grip on the shaft.

[nh7740]

Get up at 4.15am then back in for breakfast about 7.45am and a wee sleep till about 9am back to work ,lunch then a wee sleep again for 15mins back out and usally finnish about 7pm, dinner then bed about 9.30pm.

Total about 7hours.

Flying lessons would be great.

 

I was lucky enough to receive a voucher to go up in a glider, so intend trying it in the next few weeks. Me and the thermals in perfect harmony looking over my beloved Deeside.

 

 

Interesting fact for you:; Periodically the towing bridle releases from the plane and glider at the same time. If you find it and retrun to it's rightful owners you get a free hurl in the plane.

[ChutneyLove]

'pipes - the Mrs going to Magaluf must mean a green light for you and a Dons European adventure?

[Bluto10]

Watchin pipes in epipes swannin rounds Europe's terrace cafe would be hilarious.

 

The cultural black hole would be like a whale out of water.

[ChutneyLove]

My green light never goes off!

 

If I'm home, and it's abroad I'll be there.

Nice - I just wish we knew when the draw was being made.

My mate next door once got a flying lesson as a birthday present from his lady friend. He was allowed to take another up into the wide blue yonder during this lesson and he invited me. Now as he has written off 9 cars on terra firma, I told him to fuck the fuck right off,

Coward.

[Henry]

Folk missing 1 hour of sleep a night.

 

 

The RSPH is so concerned that it is calling for a national sleep strategy, including a “slumber number” – guidance on how many hours of sleep people should be getting according to their age – and for the subject to be added to the school curriculum.

“Good sleep can cure many of the public’s ills, and lack of it is linked to a string of unhealthy behaviours and some of our leading preventable diseases,” said RSPH chief executive Shirley Cramer.

 

 

Wish sleep had been a subject at school when I was a youngster.

 

[Dynamo]

Bed at half 10, up at 6.

Getting up at 6 is shite.

[buchanskii]

 

Heaps of it.

 

Really good for the mind, body and soul.

 

I've been getting 12 hours a day recently and I feel like a million bucks.

 

You can never get enough sleep IMO.

 

 

 

 

Tup told us all this 3 years ago

[Poodler]

Bid up all night Friday and Saturday on the piss, still haven't caught up with it, bastard.

[dave_min]

I like to go to bed at 7:30pm every night.
