Tips For Getting a Better Night Sleep

Hi All,

We've all heard it from friends or coworkers or family members, "I'm tired, I didn't sleep at all last night.".  Well, sleep is ridiculously important.  It affects your heatlh, performance at work, and much more.  Click on this link from WebMD about chronic lack of sleep and the affects it has. It's not pretty - so try to catch up on your zzzz's.  And, if the prior article hasn't persuaded you to get more sleep, perhaps this article will...  This link is from the National Institute of Health - a US government agency - and is written so that the layperson can understand the affects of not enough sleep.

Now, onto the meat of this entry.  Click on this link for an article from MoneyTalkNews entitled 'How Much is Enough?'.  Article gives NIH recommendations for the amount of sleep that school-age children, teenagers and adults should get.  Section titles include '3 Reasons Why You're Not Sleeping' and other tips on how to set the mood for a good nights' sleep. 

Finally, click on this link - which goes to the library card catalog.  Specifically the link goes to the subject of 'sleep' in the card catalog.  I also did a sort so that the newest books come up first. 

Here's to getting a good night sleep.

Regards,

How Well Did You Sleep Last Night?

Hi All,


Pardon me for asking this question, but....'How well did you sleep last night?'  Sleeping is darn important. It is so important that we are having a program on this topic at the Farmingdale Public Library. 

Sleep can refresh you, and keep your body physically stronger and healthier.  Click on this link for some affects of sleep deprivation - the link is from WebMD.  Click on this next link to find out how sleep loss can lead to weight gain! 

Click on this link from Wikipedia for the topic of sleep deprivation.
More information about the program is as follows:

On Tuesday, July 29th at 7-8pm, the Farmingdale Public Library is presenting a program titled 'Sleep Disturbances'.   The formal blurb for the program is 'Join Dr. Saul Rothenberg, who has been an integral part of the Sleep Disorders Center of the North Shore – LIJ Health System since 1995, as he talks about normal sleep, changes in sleep as we age, and about insomnia – what it is, what it does to people, and what can be done about it. Preference given to UFSD #22 residents.'. 

Online registration begins July 15th and the program will be held in Room C in the library basement.

Finally, click on this link from the online card catalog for the topic of 'sleep disorders'.  Note that the books in this list are titles that the Farmingdale Public Library own in our collection.  However, some of the books may or may not be on the shelf at the time you are looking for books on the topic.  Someone else might have taken out the book!

Regards - and I hope you sleep better tonight.
