Sleep and Turbo Charged Reading, sleep and caffeine

When Turbo Charged Reading, 

particularly technical or academic material, reports or white papers,

or anything that is, say, ten or more pages long such as a Shakespeare’s play or book of sonnets

then other than when reading a novel, it is best to give your growing neurons time to nurture 

the material you have TCR into your innermind at least 20 minutes but preferably overnight 

to catalogue the material TCR, cross reference it with what is already 

in your vast storehouse of information and collate the information you need for the morning.

This ‘sleeping-on-the-problem’ is a well recognised product of giving 

your mind an instruction and it following through.

Sleeping on the information is a great memory aid and so a boost to your confidence as your performance in meetings is enhanced as you are have a full store of information at your finger tips.

Rather than HAVE TO read-yourself-to-sleep why not read around what is preventing you

from having the necessary sleep your body and mind needs?

Q:  Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can  prolong life.  Is this true? 
A: Heart  only good for so many beats, and that it...

Don't waste on exercise.  Everything wear out eventually.  

Speeding up heart not make you live longer;

it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster.  

Want to live longer?  Take nap.

Caffeine: The Silent Killer of Success

Dr. Travis Bradberry

The Ugly: Sleep

When you sleep, your brain literally recharges, shuffling through the day’s memories

and storing or discarding them (which causes dreams), so that you wake up alert and clear-headed.

Your self-control, focus, memory, and information processing speed are all reduced

when you don’t get enough—or the right kind—of sleep.

Your brain is very fickle when it comes to sleep.

For you to wake up feeling rested, your brain needs to move through an elaborate series of cycles. You can help this process along and improve the quality of your sleep

by reducing your caffeine intake.

Here’s why you’ll want to: caffeine has a six-hour half-life,

which means it takes a full twenty-four hours to work its way out of your system.

Have a cup of joe at eight a.m., and you’ll still have 25% of the caffeine in your body at eight p.m. Anything you drink after noon will still be at 50% strength at bedtime. Any caffeine in your bloodstream—with the negative effects increasing with the dose—makes it harder to fall asleep.

When you do finally fall asleep, the worst is yet to come. Caffeine disrupts the quality of your sleep 

by reducing rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the deep sleep when your body recuperates

and processes emotions. When caffeine disrupts your sleep, you wake up the next day

with an emotional handicap. You’re naturally going to be inclined to grab a cup of coffee

or an energy drink to try to make yourself feel better. The caffeine produces surges of adrenaline, which further your emotional handicap. Caffeine and lack of sleep leave you feeling tired in the afternoon, so you drink more caffeine, which leaves even more of it in your bloodstream at bedtime. Caffeine very quickly creates a vicious cycle.

Withdrawal

Like any stimulant, caffeine is physiologically and psychologically addictive. If you do choose to lower your caffeine intake, you should do so slowly under the guidance of a qualified medical professional. The researchers at Johns Hopkins found that caffeine withdrawal causes headache, fatigue, sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people report feeling flu-like symptoms, depression, and anxiety after reducing intake by as little as one cup a day. Slowly tapering your caffeine dosage each day can greatly reduce these withdrawal symptoms.
