Sleep deprivation effects are a "hidden threat" that companies must pay attention to, in order to ensure employee well-being while gaining a competitive edge.

A survey conducted across the Mumbai by Hiranandani hospital shows that around 94% of working women suffering with sleep-deprived problem, scarcely managing six hours of sleep. Problem related to s...

Dry cough at night time could be a major disruption in your good night's sleep. It not only makes you restless and sleep deprived, but also ends up irritating the person sleeping next to you. While adults can still tolerate the disruption, it is nearly impossible for kids to tolerate night time cough and still not behave cranky. Children who experience cough at night not only end up losing the sanctity of their throat, but also find it hard to fall asleep again.

Our ability to perform certain functions is dependent on how we exert the muscular techniques. As long as we are young enough, the muscular capabilities remain active and aid in the execution of different functions. But as we grow older, the muscular functions fall short of our expectations and cannot offer a greater level of strength to perform any tasks. This is something which occurs due to an unprecedented number of mutations in the stem cells of muscles. The mutations impair the regeneration of cells, and inhibit the further progress of muscle functions; as a result, it deprives older individuals of their physical ability to perform tasks. This new study has been brought to the light by researchers at Karolinska Institute.

A good amount of sleep all through night hours is essential for maintaining alertness, energy for daily duties and health. Sleep deprivation may cause symptoms that bear a resemblance to and feel like depression or anxiety like bad temper, irritability, low energy, lessened libido and poor decision-making ability...

The present study evaluated, using a well-controlled dehydration protocol, the effects of 24 h fluid deprivation (FD) on selected mood and physiological parameters. In the present cross-over study, twenty healthy women (age 25 (SE 0·78) years) participated in two randomised sessions: FD-induced dehydration v. a fully hydrated control condition. In the FD period, the last water intake was between 18.00 and 19.00 hours and no beverages were allowed until 18.00 hours on the next day (23-24 h). Water intake was only permitted at fixed periods during the control condition. Physiological parameters in the urine, blood and saliva (osmolality) as well as mood and sensations (headache and thirst) were compared across the experimental conditions. Safety was monitored throughout the study. The FD protocol was effective as indicated by a significant reduction in urine output. No clinical abnormalities of biological parameters or vital signs were observed, although heart rate was increased by FD. Increased urine specific gravity, darker urine colour and increased thirst were early markers of dehydration. Interestingly, dehydration also induced a significant increase in saliva osmolality at the end of the 24 h FD period but plasma osmolality remained unchanged. The significant effects of FD on mood included decreased alertness and increased sleepiness, fatigue and confusion. The most consistent effects of mild dehydration on mood are on sleep/wake parameters. Urine specific gravity appears to be the best physiological measure of hydration status in subjects with a normal level of activity; saliva osmolality is another reliable and noninvasive method for assessing hydration status.

If you feel tired throughout the day, it is a sign that your body is working too hard, or that you are stress or sleep-deprived. Do you have a balanced diet? Perhaps that malaise or headache is a sign of undernourishment.

On June 21, the world will celebrate International Yoga Day. There is no escaping the truth that many people's lives are undergoing significant change and hardship, regardless of where they live in the world. Sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, and life stress all contribute to a compromised immune system, making you more susceptible to illness and stress.

Sleep is important for a healthy heart , many people don't sleep more may be at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and coronary heart.
