Sleep Can be a Good Thing
A new technique makes it possible to sleep away your fears. The research, which was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, showed for the first time that the power of emotional memories — specifically, fearful ones — can be weakened with sleep-based tactics, which offers hope that something as simple as a good night's slumber may reduce phobias and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The new study suggests we may be able to hack this mechanism to fight
troubling memories — and get closer to one day sleeping them off. This idea might look good on paper but not so much in practice. Clearly there may need to be more research is the way of PTSD and other phobias such as video conferencing or talking in front of an audience. Another question to be asked here is if people are able to get a good night's sleep in the first place.

Videoconferencing is one of the best ways to communicate all around, for business or social needs.
ReplyDeleteThere are also a lot of mobile applications that focus on better sleep and health. It is better to just be more conscious about everything going on around you.
ReplyDeleteLast I checked, sleep was never a bad thing. It might be a good idea to turn off all those mobile applications so that you can get a good nights sleep.
ReplyDeleteSo many of the business application are getting in the way of sleep. We need that time to recharge in order to function the next day.
