A study is now surfacing that would place elderly persons, who have chronic sleep trouble, at higher risk of suicide.
No small study, this one claims to have tracked the records of some 14,500 elderly persons, between 67 and 90 years old, for a 10 year period. There was no comment if the [...]

If you’re shopping for a new mattress, you’ll surely run into the old bonnell spring mattresses being advertised in a “blow out” sale. Don’t count on the salesperson being so upfront as to tell you what’s inside.

It would seem to make sense that anyone driving after staying up all night, would be more likely to drive erratically, have an accident or crash and burn. Sleep deprivation really slows our brain/eye/hand co-ordination.
