National Nap Day Follows Time Change

24 minutes ago

If you're still feeling groggy after the daylight saving time change, you're probably not alone. Many Americans say they're always sleep deprived, and the day many people get the least sleep is the day after the "spring forward" time change when we lose an hour out of the day.

"On this day Americans are not only more sleep deprived but they are also more nap ready," said William Anthony, professor of rehabilitation counseling at Boston University Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.

Anthony and his wife, Camille, founded National Napping Day together. Among the benefits of napping, they say, is that napping makes you feel better by improving your mood. They say napping also makes you more productive by enhancing your performance. There's also no weight gain associated with napping because people can?t eat while they're asleep

Established in 1999, National Napping Day is meant to help Americans adjust to the time change while raising awareness of the benefits of napping.

Napping has received wide publicity lately because of a recent scientific study showing that regular napping is associated with a reduced level of risk of death from heart attacks or other heart related problems.

"Our goal is to overcome the prejudicial attitudes that many people have about napping, and to encourage everyone to see that napping as a no cost, no sweat way to improved mood and performance," Anthony said.

I love the idea of a nap, but I never nap, myself. The few times I have, I wake up all groggy, thirsty and crabby!

I'll lay down if I need to, but don't actually sleep until I go to bed.

The art is not to nap for more than 30 mins,20 mins even better!! ;)

Anymore more than 30 mins and I get the 'cotton wool ' head and raging thirst (yeah, why is that?? :blink: )

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
