Keeping it Brisk in the Bedroom

by: Cameron Elliott

I like the cold. I love those brisk, late- fall days, when it?s a perfect 50 or 60 degrees outside, or those cloudy winter nights. The clouds trap the warm air in atmosphere, so it?s only 40 degrees or so, and you can feel cold air filling your lungs. It?s so refreshing, so invigorating. Whenever I talk walks on those nights, I come home a new man, a wide awake man.

My entire life I?ve kept a fan in my bedroom. I claim it?s for the white noise, which is part of it. I can?t stand it when rooms are too quiet, and a buzzing silence fills you ears. But mostly, I like it cold. At night, I?ll go the bathroom, and it will get noticeably warmer.

I can?t sleep when it?s too hot. The paralyzing heat keeps me lying awake all night, tossing and turning, trying to find a cool spot on my mattress. But that cool breeze puts me right to sleep. Once, I tried to go without a fan, and couldn?t sleep. After I turned it on, I drifted right off.

If I don?t have a fan, I open the window, the source of many arguments freshmen year, living in the dorms. My bed was by the window. Every night my roommates begged me to close it, but every night I forgot.

I?ve always thought I was simply peculiar, but it turns out I might have been onto something. You see, when you fall asleep, your body temperature drops. If this change can?t happen, sleep can?t happen. In fact, it?s recommended that you keep your bedroom cool, to assist sleep.

So, while I may have been made fun growing up for keeping my fan full blast all year (even the winter) I have the last laugh.

It?s Time To Go Camping ? What Do I Take With Me?

by: Gray Rollins

Camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and bring the family together. There are many places you can go to hike, canoe or sightsee. Having the correct camping gear will help make your experience more fun and ensure you are not caught in situations without the proper equipment. Before embarking on your trip, make a list of all supplies you need to ensure everything is packed and ready to go.

Sleeping Arrangements

Decide whether you want to rent an RV, pop-up camper, or use a tent. Using a tent is a fun and inexpensive way to get back to nature. Tents are available at most sporting good stores and can also be found at discount stores. They are easy to set up and are a great way to spend a bit of time bonding when you first get to the camp area. Choose tents that are water resistant, but also bring along a large waterproof tarp to hang over the tent in case there is a lot...

Understanding Insomnia

Understanding Insomnia

by: Cameron Elliott

Sleep disorders are part of a broad category encompassing a variety of conditions that affect sleep. Insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome are the most common, but sleep disorders also include sleep walking, hypersomnia, and night terrors. There isn't enough space to provide an in- depth explanation for each, so starting with insomnia, the four most common ones will be explored properly.

Literally meaning no sleep, insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders: everyone has lain awake all night, has woken up in the middle of night, has woken up hours too early. Insomnia takes its toll on your health, on your peace of mind, on your wallet. When you don't sleep enough, you're tired and irritable, unable to concentrate. You lose money by getting in accidents because you're exhausted, by being unable to work.

There are two types of insomnia: acute and chronic. Acute insomnia...

A Smoker Needs His Rest

A Smoker Needs His Rest

Smoking and Sleeping

I?ll come clean: I smoke. I know, I know, it?s a bad habit, and I?m the process of quitting. But, I like having a cigar with my dad on special occasions, and after writing for hours, a cigarette break can be exactly what I need. Besides, I smoke cloves, which unlike regular cigarettes, actually smell and taste good.

But I do realize the health risks of smoking: increased heart disease, lung cancer, and emphysema, plus a whole lot more. Here?s the thing, though. I?m young. I just turned 23. At this age, it?s easy to write those things off; even if they do happen, it won?t be for another 15, 20, 30+ years.

So why am I quitting? I?ll get to the point: smoking and sleeping don?t mix. It took me a while to figure it out, but after smoking a lot and not sleeping, I began to put two and two together. The problem is nicotine is a stimulant; it will keep you up. You wouldn...
