Sorry, but, this required a new study? Sleep is the most consistent way of preventing, and curing ailments. At even the slightest hint of feeling run down, I'll go to bed extra early.
- shados 10y agoConsidering how little concern people put into it (eg: how difficult it is to handle disruptive neighbors at night, how little concern is put about noise near residential areas, etc), we sure as hell need more of those studies. Because as of right now, nobody cares.
- overcast 10y agoHandling disruptive neighbors at night is easy, I just call the police. Has worked every time.
- prophesi 10y agoIn my area, you're allowed to have the police called on you three times in a night before anything is done about it. And my brother in some suburb in Miami, he can call the police as much as he wants and nothing will be done about it unless the disruptive neighbor goes over the decibel limit or shows aggressive behavior. He ended up having to move out of that neighborhood since he had a belligerent neighbor that would drink beer, rev his bike, and blast metal every other night while still technically abiding by the laws.
- overcast 10y agoThat's unfortunate. I'm in the burbs of upstate New York. They arrive in about fifteen minutes.
- saryant 10y agoI have chronic anxiety. Last year I moved to a new apartment and—more importantly—to a quiet side street. My old apartment was right on the busiest road in town. After a few days of adjusting to the new noises, my quality of sleep dramatically improved and my anxiety attacks became less frequent and less severe. Not eliminated but much more manageable. The importance of quality sleep is vastly underestimated. (Data is not the plural of anecdote blah blah blah).
- rhinoceraptor 10y agoI sleep with an eye mask and ear plugs every night. Once you're used to that, it's pretty hard to fall asleep without them.
- sundvor 10y agoYeah, something similar - started sleeping next to an air purifier (white noise) and pulling a 2nd pillow on top of my head for additional random noise suppression. I struggle to sleep without this, unless I'm wrecked with exhaustion from exercise. Wish I had thought of the 2nd pillow in my younger years..
- matthewmacleod 10y agoYes. It's generally important to study these things, because anecdotes aren't really that valuable on a large scale.
- overcast 10y agoI'm not sure getting more sleep makes you feel better, is in any way anecdotal, after a few hundred thousand years of trials.
- matthewmacleod 10y agoIt's absolutely anecdotal. It doesn't stop being anecdotal just because there are a lot of anecdotes! whule it's generally obvious that sleep makes you feel better, what's less obvious is that sleep deprivation an reduce immune activity when other factors are accounted for. Now we know, and that's good!
- willis77 10y ago> Sorry, but, this required a new study? Yes, it requires study, unless all of this is obvious to you: "The twin cohort displayed distinctive pathway enrichment based on sleep duration differences. Habitual short sleep was associated with up-regulation of genes involved in transcription, ribosome, translation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Unexpectedly, genes down-regulated in short sleep twins were highly enriched in immuno-inflammatory pathways such as interleukin signaling and leukocyte activation, as well as developmental programs, coagulation cascade, and cell adhesion."
- Kluny 10y agoThe result might be obvious, but they're trying to figure out the mechanism by which sleep improves health, which is not obvious at all.
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoThere's a big difference between resting equaling faster healing than not resting enough and everyday sleep quality affecting the everyday immune system functions. Anecdotes aren't science.
