Question of the Day #45

Would you accept gifts from someone that you know likes/adores you, but you have absolutely no interest in?

If you’ve done it, do you feel bad about it?

Talk to me people. Let me know what’s on your mind.

The Nice Guy Break

While hanging out with an ex-girlfriend, let’s call her “Addiction” (long story that could be told in a 3 part post), she did what  most exes love to do: tell me about her love life.

Ok, first, I didn’t ask, second, DIDN’T ask, third, DIDN’T ask! But hey, I’m  the nice guy and we ARE friends. So to sum it up, blah blah blah, he was an *sshole, blah blah, he cheated on me, blah blah, and FINALLY dumped after feeling neglected.

Done.

That’s why she’s the ex. Never have regrets about who you no longer date, because there’s a reason you are no longer together. I’m not saying she’s crazy, but….

More Sleep, Less Colds?

Article submitted by Wayne Westerfield

Are you one of  those people that says “I’ll rest later”, or “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”?

Do you try to go through the day with minimal sleep?

I myself  have often been guilty of this charge: many days going on a few hours rest  here and there, only to feel that inner voice saying “you’re going to pay for this”. And by “this” of course, I mean some illness.

Whether it’s insomnia or electronic devices, it has been said for years that neglecting sleep might weaken your defenses and now there’s proof.

Here’s a snipet from the article:

Can Better Sleep Mean Catching Fewer Colds?

Lack of sleep affects your immune system.

Mother knows best — at least it appears that way when it comes to lack of sleep. It turns out that lack of sleep really may make us more prone to catching colds and the flu. And that includes the H1N1 virus.

“It is an old wives’ tale that if you don’t sleep well, you will get sick, and there is some experimental data that shows this is true,” says Diwakar Balachandran, MD, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Some 50 million to 70 million American adults suffer from sleep disorders or the inability to stay awake and alert,  according to the CDC. Though it’s not always easy to do, getting adequate sleep can help keep our immune systems primed for attack. 

Lack of Sleep and Fevers

Sleep loss not only plays a role in whether we come down with a cold or flu. It also influences how we fight illnesses once we come down with them.

For example, our bodies fight infection with fevers. “One of the things that happens when we sleep is that we can get a better fever response,” Balachandran says. “This is why fevers tend to rise at night. But if we are not sleeping, our fever reaction is not primed, so we may not be waging war on infection as best we can.”
