“Love” can brighten our world, but at the same time, it can also turn our lives blue. Many people are facing sleep deprivation because of lovesick or love-struck.
They cannot shut their eyes, heart, and brain. They stay up all night and think of someone; one who break their heart or one who they fell in love with.
Sleep deprivation caused by love problems harms people both mentality and physically which sometimes results in depression, fluctuations in weight, and memory loss.
If we cannot hold our heart from loving someone, how we can solve our sleep deprivation. It’s hard right? Don’t worry. We have solutions for love versus sleep!
The document discusses the importance of sleep and outlines several key points:
- Sleep is regulated by circadian rhythms influenced by light and melatonin levels, and disruptions to these rhythms can negatively impact sleep.
- College students often do not get the recommended 8-9 hours of sleep per night, leading to poorer academic performance and health issues.
- Establishing a regular sleep schedule and relaxing pre-sleep routine can help improve sleep quality.
- Activities like exercise, caffeine, and screen time close to bedtime should be limited to promote better sleep.
Do you ever find yourself tossing and turning in bed, unable to escape the grip of a racing mind or the weight of stress and anxiety? You're not alone. In today's fast-paced world, sleep problems are all too common, affecting millions of people. In fact, studies show that nearly 30% of adults experience some form of insomnia at one point in their lives, and chronic sleep deprivation has become a prevalent issue. The good news is, there's a simple and natural solution that can help you reclaim those peaceful nights you've been missing. It's called "Sleep Meditation."
In this blog post, we'll delve into the incredible benefits of incorporating meditation into your pre-sleep routine. We'll explore how this ancient practice can be your ticket to a more restful, rejuvenating sleep. By the time you finish reading, you'll understand why meditation isn't just for monks or yogis – it's a tool that anyone can use to enhance their sleep quality and overall well-being.
Sound sleep is very important for a person’s health and happiness. It results in improved heart and immune system health, increased productivity and energy, a better mood and even a longer life. You feel so refreshed after a good 8 hours of sleep yet there is an increasing number of people who are not taking enough sleep. Most people suffer from sleep disorders because of their hectic lifestyle.
Stressors are everywhere. From office calls to the pressure to meet deadlines, stress and anxiety always affect mental health. These stress responses make us alert and hyperactive. Meditation is a proven method of calming the mind to relieve stress and tension. Regular meditation practice can help reverse the negative effects of stress on your mind and body. When you redirect your thoughts to pay more attention to yourself, you lose negative thought patterns. meditation is a quick and effective way to relax your mind and body and reduce emotional distress.
This document discusses lifestyle factors and natural remedies that can improve brain health and sleep. It recommends using a fan or sound machine to create white noise to help fall asleep. While some stress is unavoidable, using positive coping mechanisms can reduce stress's harmful effects on brain and memory over time. Cutting back on processed foods, exercising more, and herbal remedies like bananas and milk or mindfulness techniques can promote better sleep. A nutritious diet with omega-3s from eggs and fish also supports brain health, but fish may contain pollutants, so consumption needs to be moderate.
The document discusses Ayurvedic concepts of doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), determining one's dominant dosha based on personality traits and imbalances, and lifestyle recommendations to balance each dosha. It then describes an Ayurvedic morning routine including oil pulling, an oil bath demonstration, and head and hair care recommendations using sesame and rice bran oils. Various Ayurvedic therapies and supplements are presented including enzymes, solar plexus breathing, hand reflexology, and black tourmaline.
The document provides information about stress, anxiety, relaxation techniques, and tips for managing stress and getting better sleep. It discusses that stress is the body's response to demands and can have both positive and negative effects depending on how one copes. Anxiety is a lingering feeling of apprehension that is often from an unknown source. Fundamentally, how one interprets and reacts to stressful situations matters more than the situations themselves. The document then gives various tips for reducing stress through relaxation, communication, organization, and lifestyle changes. It also provides details on relaxation techniques like meditation, imagery, diaphragmatic breathing and the quieting reflex.
Vata is one of the three doshas or biological humors in Ayurveda. It controls body movements and functions of the nervous system, metabolism, sensory organs and bodily communications. An excess of vata causes various health issues and its symptoms include weight loss, black skin, tremors, reduced strength and pains. The document outlines the five types of vata based on location in the body and their roles. It provides lifestyle recommendations to manage vata, such as following a nutritious diet, regular exercise and massage, and herbal remedies.
The document discusses biorhythms and how the body's physical and mental states cycle throughout the day in regular patterns. It notes that biorhythms affect individuals from birth throughout life. The three main biorhythmic cycles are physical, emotional, and intellectual. Good sleep is important for regeneration and recovery, and different people have different natural sleep patterns as either "larks" or "owls". The biological clock controls daily cycles in organ function and energy levels throughout the day and night.
All I ask is that you take your time reading this book, take it all in at your own pace, and try not to get overwhelmed, as there are several ways you can do things when it comes to living a life with holistic wellness. There is no right or wrong way to think about what you feel you are most comfortable doing.
This is something I felt the need to share because of the times we are currently living in. Now being in my early sixties, and given time to reflect, I believe it will be helpful to the world.
All that’s left now is for you to go through this guide and decide what path you want to take, then give it a go!
My sincere prayer is that you will find this information helpful in giving you some clarity and an enlightening purpose for your life that will be beneficial to not only you, but your family and community as well.
Take 15 - 45 minutes to brain dump everything you can think of on a blank sheet of paper.
This is where you can first start to utilize the benefits of writing in your journal. Your journal is your private place to write down your thoughts to help organize your life, clear your head, and prioritize your thoughts and plan your life, before you go to your planner to schedule your day accordingly.
In particular, writing what you may have just dreamed about the night before. Start your day with the focus of an eagle by writing out everything that’s in your heart and mind.
Because we’re so busy with everything in life as a whole, we can get overwhelmed and stressed out. Brain dumping will help out greatly in this regard.
Because brain dumping clears your mind. Recording all of your thoughts and feelings someplace else allows you to get it out of your head, to stop thinking about it. The entire process also helps you determine which thoughts, feelings, and ideas are important and which ones you can let go of.
“Mental health” refers to your overall psychological well-being. It includes the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships, and your ability to manage your feelings and deal with difficulties.
Anyone can experience mental or emotional health problems — and over a lifetime, many of us will. I believe I read somewhere that one in five adults in the western world live with mental health or substance abuse problems.
Even if that is not precisely so, we can all agree that there are too many people who unfortunately experience these difficulties.
Here are 10 tips that can help you elevate your mood, become more resilient, and enjoy life more: make social connections; stay active; talk to someone; appeal to your senses; take up a relaxation practice; make leisure and contemplation a priority; talk to someone; Eat a brain-healthy diet to support strong mental health; don’t skimp on sleep; find purpose and meaning for your life; and get help if you need it.
Fasting is practiced in many religions as a way to focus on one's relationship with God rather than physical desires. It can provide health benefits such as weight loss, detoxification, and treatment of conditions like arthritis or cancer. When ending a fast, it is important to gradually reintroduce food over several days to allow the digestive system to adjust gently.
Memory and concentration are not just issues for ‘seniors.’ Losing track of what you were doing or simply forgetting what you were about to say are very real problems for everybody. It plagues everyone from students preparing for exams to professionals wanting to look sharp with everything at their fingertips, and older people simply forgetting stuff over time.
There are a number of ways in which one can stay mentally alive — starting with a healthy body and an active mind. Here are some tips.

MALE CIRCUMCISION consists of the surgical act of removing the foreskin (skin that covers the glans of the penis), leaving the glans more prominent and better cleanable.
MALE CIRCUMCISION itself has medical as well as sociocultural implications, as it has been proven to be an act that can minimize SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIs), especially HIV, but it also represents the SOCIOCULTURAL IDENTITY of some people, respectively.
Now, in a SERO-EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE like that of Mozambique where the prevalence of HIV is around 12.5% which corresponds to approximately 2 million people living with HIV, where the province of GAZA is the most seroprevalent with a positivity rate of 21% (INSIDA, 2021), it is extremely necessary to THOROUGHLY scrutinize all possibilities for preventing or minimizing the spread of HIV and other STIs.
This Presentation provides information on hyperlipidemic drugs. It begins with an introduction to hyperlipidemia and its causes. It then discusses various drug classes for treating hyperlipidemia, including their mechanisms of action, effects on lipid levels, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic uses, adverse effects and interactions. The major drug classes discussed are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, and niacin. For each class, specific drugs are highlighted and their properties compared.

Principles of Cleaning
Nonsurgical root canal treatment is a predictable method of retaining a tooth that otherwise would require extraction. Success of root canal treatment in a tooth with a vital pulp is higher than that of a tooth that is necrotic with periradicular pathosis. The difference is the persistent irritation of necrotic tissue remnants, and the inability to remove the microorganisms and their by-products. The most significant factors affecting this process are tooth anatomy and morphology, and the instruments and irrigants available for treatment. Instruments must contact and plane the canal walls to debride the canal.
Morphologic factors such as lateral and accessory canals, canal curvatures, canal wall irregularities, fins, cul-de-sacs, and isthmuses make total debridement virtually impossible. Therefore the goal of cleaning not total elimination of the irritants but it is to reduce the irritants.
Currently there are no reliable methods to assess cleaning. The presence of clean dentinal shavings, the color of the irrigant, and canal enlargement three file sizes beyond the first instrument to bind have been used to assess the adequacy; however, these do not correlate well with debridement. Obtaining glassy smooth walls is a preferred indicator. The properly prepared canals should feel smooth in all dimensions when the tip of a small file is pushed against the canal walls. This indicates that files have had contact and planed all accessible canal walls thereby maximizing debridement (recognizing that total debridement usually does not occur).
Principles of Shaping
The purpose of shaping is to
1) facilitate cleaning and
2) provide space for placing the obturating materials.
The main objective of shaping is to maintain or develop a continuously tapering funnel from the canal orifice to the apex. This decreases procedural errors when cleaning and enlarging apically. The degree of enlargement is often dictated by the method of obturation. For lateral compaction of gutta percha the canal should be enlarged sufficiently to permit placement of the spreader to within 1-2 millimeters of the corrected working length. There is a correlation between the depth of spreader penetration and the apical seal.5 For warm vertical compaction techniques the coronal enlargement must permit the placement of the pluggers to within 3 to 5 mm of the corrected working length.6
As dentin is removed from the canal walls the root is weakened.7 The degree of shaping is determined by the preoperative root dimension, the obturation technique, and the restorative treatment plan. Narrow thin roots such as the mandibular incisors cannot be enlarged to the same degree as more bulky roots such as the maxillary central incisors. Post placement is also a determining factor in the amount of coronal dentin removal.
Factors influencing growth & development:
Growth & development depend upon multiple factors or determinants. They influence directly or indirectly by promoting or hindering the process.
The determinants can be grouped as Heredity & environment..
Heredity or genetic factors are also related to sex, race, & nationality. Environment includes both pre natal & post natal factors.

1. How to Get Good Sleep
Learn some simple lifestyle changes and
health tips.
Himanshu Bharadwaj, Joyful.design
2. Please Note
I am not a doctor and have not conducted modern scientific research
on the techniques I am going to tell you. These techniques are from
Yoga and Ayurveda that have been practiced for thousands of years
and thus perfected. Please consult your own doctor or Yoga and
Ayurveda teacher if you have any sleep related condition.
3. Our quality of sleep
defines our health.
Sleep helps brain reorganize itself,
form new neural pathways, restore
the signal strength of important
brain synapses, and facilitates
learning and memory.
Yoga-Nidra
We spend roughly a
third of our lives asleep.
Imagine converting
sleep into meditation.
4. Why We Sleep?
Neuromodulator adenosine
accumulates in the brain and makes
us tired during the wakefulness state.
Sleep clears it and makes us feel
recharged.
We can reduce our
sleep
Yoga exercises of the
brain can reduce the
quantity of sleep our
body needs.
5. Relaxation vs. Sleep vs. Meditation
Relaxation in a wakeful state is a conscious or
semiconscious rest.
In sleep we are in the altered state of conscious
mind useful for healing and relaxation, and process
unresolved emotions through dreams.
Meditation is a state beyond the reach of the
rational mind. It is a state of conscious awareness.
Meditation changes the person (attitude, focus,
wisdom) after meditation.
6. Turn Sleep into
Meditation
We enjoy sleep because our mind is at rest and
quiet. We do not exist in sleep because identities
are in the mind. Gender, religion, money etc. do not
exist in the state of sleep. But there is some
awareness even when mind is quiet. It is
consciousness that exist without the mind.
7. Excessive Sleep vs
Lack-of-Sleep
Oversleep is as problematic as lack of sleep and
could cause diabetes, muscle degeneration,
obesity, headaches, back pain, depression, heart
disease, and increased risk of death.
Lack of sleep could cause weaken immune system,
cancer growth, anxiety, depression, heart attack,
rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis.
8. Tips To Sleep Better
Follow the rhythm of nature that influences our
emotions, actions and sleep patterns. In general,
there is high energy during the mornings
compared to evenings.
Wake up early and sleep early. Waking up and
sleeping around the same time each day helps
maintain a pattern for the body and settle the
mind.
10. #Positive_Thoughts_Only
When we incubate negative thoughts in the mind,
our body will go through stress during sleep and
thus we have “bad dreams.”
It is not what we eat that kills us, but what eats us
inside.
11. Have dinner couple of
hours before sleep
Give some time for digestion before going to sleep.
As per Ayurveda, lunch should be the biggest meal
of the day, and dinner should be light for easy
digestion. Avoid stimulants like alcohol, nicotine,
and coffee before going to bed. Alcohol initially
seems to help but then over a period of time over
stimulates liver causing restlessness of the mind.
How to eat?
Do not eat standing up.
Do not talk while eating.
Your mind will be calm.
Meditate for a few
minutes before eating.
12. Yoga posture after
food
After the meal, get up slowly. 7-8 times more
blood goes into the gut. Do Vajrasana.
Give rest to the gut by fasting once every few
weeks.
13. Drink a little water
before meals, and Rub
wet hands on your
belly.
This simple action, can improve digestion and
sleep. Drinking water opens esophagus, before
meals. Pause before starting meals. Savor the
mouthwatering, and mind to focus on the act of
eating.
14. Eat healthy and fresh
Uncooked Leaf, vegetable, nuts, sprouts are alive
foods. Vegetarian foods affect the state of mind.
Less energy will be used for digestion.
Do not eat stale food or food kept in the
refrigerator for many days. It will make you sleepy.
Eat with your hands if possible. Eat small quantity
of foods many times a day.
Dark fruits and vegetables have more
antioxidants.
15. Foods that help sleep
Almonds, walnuts are a source of melatonin.
Kiwis - serotonin and antioxidants
White rice - high glycemic index
Milk - tryptophan and melatonin
Spices (cinnamon, fennel, fenugreek and cardamom) -
increase body warmth, aid weight loss by curbing appetite.
Honey- Reduces mucus, aids weight loss.
Ginger – improves digestion, contains melatonin
Nutmeg- Relaxant
Black pepper – Improves body’s absorption
Coconut milk – Balance blood sugar and help sleep
Note: Everything should be in moderation
What not to eat
Do not eat yogurt before
sleep. It increases
‘kapha’ dosha in the
body at night.. It will
increase mucus in the
nasal passage. Reduce
salt at night Salt
increases water
retention and increases
BP. No sugar.
16. No Alarm bell
The waking ritual should be a gradual and natural
process. Rubbing the hands and putting them over
eyes before opening them in the morning helps
improve eye health.
17. Do Not face-feet
Towards the South
Facing legs south has an adverse effect on the
body due to the earth’s magnetic pull towards the

of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide, and more
oxygen to the body and brain.

snoring can be prevented with proper tongue
training.
