Tips

1) Do not read when you are lying down. The lying down posture is clearly not the best position to read. It is a very common thing for a person to flop down on the bed with a book and read it while lying down. In fact, many people make it a habit to read for a few minutes before going to sleep. Let us say it once and for all; it is not good to read while you are lying down.

2) If you must read, prop up your head with at least two pillows. If you find it impossible to read while you are in bed, the best thing that you can do is prop up your head with a couple of pillows. Pillows give support to your head and neck so that your head is in a partially raised position. This will cause less harm to your eyes and your head in general.

3) You need a well lighted room to read. The lighting of your room too is very important. A properly lighted room is what is required if you want to read, do needle work or any other such fine activity. Again too much light is just as bad as a dimly lit room.

4) The source of light must preferably be behind your head. The source of light should not come in front of your eyes but must be behind your head. This is also true in the case of a computer as well. The source of light should be from behind.

cock.jpgMost of us wake up early every morning (sigh). Not for me, especially on Saturday & Sunday. But, for everyone who stayed up very late all these days. Make sure to read this article I found& it’s great.

Now, 11:30 PM is my bedtime and I’m wakeup at 7:00 AM everyday (even on Sat & Sun). No need for a cock (should I use rooster instead?) to wake me up. Give it a try & good luck.

10 Ways to Outwit Your Appetite

1. Feed it protein for breakfast.
You’ll be less hungry later on and end up eating 267 fewer calories during the day. At least that’s what happened on days when St. Louis University researchers gave overweight women two scrambled eggs and two slices of jelly-topped toast for breakfast rather than about half that protein.

2. Make it climb a flight of stairs.
At home, store the foods that tempt you most way out of reach. For instance, Cornell University food psychologist Brian Wansink, PhD, keeps his favorite soda in a basement fridge. "Half the time I’m too lazy to run down there to get it, so I drink the water in the kitchen."

3. Sleep on it.
People who don’t get their eight hours of ZZZ’s experience hormonal fluctuations that increase appetite, report researchers.
