    Semi-Somnia

    DateSat, November 10, 2007 at 01:47AM
    About 30million people suffer from semi-somnia, a light version of insomnia. Good rituals before bed to "wind-down" our mind is recommended, ie. turn-off computer 1-hr before bed, taking a light yoga, meditation or light reading.

    Could you have semi-somnia?
    Around 30 million people suffer from 'semi-somnia' (disturbed or fitful sleep due to a stressful lifestyle) according to a sleep expert, Dr Neil Stanley. Find out if you're a sufferer and what do do about it.

    ARE YOU A SEMI-SOMNIAC?
    Dr Stanley's test: How do you feel energy-wise at 11am and 2pm each day? Rate it on a score of one to 10. "Scoring around five to seven means you're probably aware you're regularly not on top of your game, crave day-time naps and may rely on sugary snacks and coffee."
    Dr Stanley says semi-somnia shares similar - but milder - symptoms as chronic insomnia, a serious sleep disorder. While sufferers of insomnia may take more than 30 minutes to get to sleep, and wake frequently during the night, most nights, for a period of more than three weeks, semi-somniacs may also experience those problems or simply not sleep for long enough because of a demanding lifestyle.

    Mbak Nadia, I want to follow on you clipmarks... Tapi ndak nemu ^^;

    Anyway, my comment regarding to this entry, I think I suffer this semi-somnia. Before reading this, I'm sure that I don't have insomnia, but also aware that I have a slight problem with sleeping (blame that to my thesis and the World Cup in 2006).

    After reading this, I know what I'm having: Semi-somnia! And I've read the original article on its website. Thanks for sharing Mbak :)
