Sleep Hygiene September || Take 2 Tips: Take a nap.

APR 26 || NATIONAL POST
Workers should be allowed to nap after lunch, says French think tank: ‘The politics of insomnia must end!’
"Even as Spain moves to kill the siesta, a leading Gallic think-tank says French businesses should encourage staff to take a post-lunch snooze of 15 to 20 minutes, insisting that it boosts productivity."

JUN 7 || FLYER NEWS
Could the key to your best life be… napping?
“The best way to fall asleep quickly is to sleep under the right conditions. It can be hard to boost your productivity by taking a 10-minute nap when it takes you 30 minutes just to get to sleep. Make sure temperatures are optimal, set an alarm, block out as much noise and light as possible and prepare for a successful sleeping venture."

WHAT'S HAPPENING: Circadian rhythms and sleep

Check out this latest curation of news stories appearing since June 1 which focus on a critical part of the sleeping process: Circadian Rhythms.  Topics discussed in this latest curation include:

• Circadian rhythm basics, including recent sleep research, light simulation, social interactions influenced by the circadian system, the color of light and its impact on sleep, the rhythms of the blind, the sleep homeostat, the clocks of the brain and the gut, genetics and the circadian system
• The time cues ("zeitgebers") that inform our rhythms, such as meals, exercising, managing time zone changes during the Olympics, and sleeping in space
• Chronotypes (are you a morning lark or a night owl?)
• Sleep problems like jet lag, shift work disorder, pain "rhythms," circadian rhythm disruption, intermittent short sleep, breaks in daily melatonin rhythmicity, and the down side of naps
• Light pollution as a major influence on sleep health

Snoring, spatial issues and sleep patterns are just a few of the reasons couples choose to sleep apart
From the curator: It's becoming far more acceptable to have separate beds these days. What would be better than that is for people with sleep apnea and snoring problems to actually treat their issues so they could be healthy and happy. Sleeping in the other room doesn't really fix the actual problem (and no, the suffering spouse is not the actual problem).
