hi ,..the article i read did say to turn your clock around so you dont see that light but then i wont know when its time to get up so i dont see how that can work out .. ----- Original Message ----- From: Debbie Feder To: Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 1:12 PM Subject: [nosdiet] Re: sleep --- In , "cat" <jocee131@e...> wrote: > well last night was my first night of working on getting enough sleep i got off the computer at 10 30 because i read that the light from the computer stimulates the brain and keeps you from sleeping ....Hi Joce, not only the light but even the electromagnetic field can be picked up by your body...After all, our nervous system runs on electricity too! Good for you and hope you are feeling rested :) ....Normally we produce meltonin, and other nighttime hormones, released by the the pituitary and the Liver, and "a gland" (LOL Julie) Light balance is very very delicate and sensitive in our "sleep system" and even the glow of a small LED from an alarm clock on a night table could disrupt, and inhibit the production of melatonin in a pretty significant way. And if you don't get enough *deep* rem sleep, you don't release Growth Hormone and all those good guys like leptin, and ghrelin, and my favorite "shmellin" :)... So I think that the Cinderella Electric Curfew is a good plan... I've even been toying with the idea of one of those sleep eye masks, but I don't know if I could get used to the feeling.. That would really block out the light...Light in the day, good, at night, not good.... Theres my erudite conclusion! LOL On a food note, I went to Burger King on my way home from Family Court, because I was pretty hungry and it was mealtime... I was waiting around in the court for about 2 hours...So I ordered a "junior" size whopper, no coke, no shake... and I was just through a pretty stressful morning, since everyone in the court waiting room (child support dept.) looked like every past weird boyfriend I ever had! LOL, I sure know how to pick em! :) Heh heh it was pretty funny! But nevertheless I wasn't compelled to eat a supersize anything and I really felt very satisfied with the smaller hamburger, it even felt like alot in my tummy... I'm glad that fast food isn't such a part of my life anymore :) The other food thing I wanted to suggest as a really great healthy dessert, is frozen grapes....You just cant plow through a huge amount or your teeth and brain will turn to ice, and it's like having a very healthy and delicious "fruit pop"....I ate about 10 last night and it took 20 minutes because they're so cold...Nice way to satisfy your sweet tooth without letting everything go to "you know where" LOL Hope everyones doing well today! Love, Deb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
