Should You Be Sleeping On The Floor? What The Research Has To Say

Should You Be Sleeping On The Floor? What The Research Has To Say

We’re living in a chronically sleep-deprived world. Research has estimated that just under 40% of Australians are experiencing inadequate sleep. This doesn’t just mean you’re a little more dependent on your morning coffee – poor sleep can have massive impacts on your overall well-being.

There are other factors to consider when it comes to poor sleep, including timing of caffeine, sleep hygiene and regulation of our internal rhythms. But one factor that is often overlooked with sleep quality is what you’re sleeping on. Could sleeping on the floor be the answer to your sleep woes?

Artificial Blue Light, UV Exposure and Computer Screens

Artificial Blue Light, UV Exposure and Computer Screens

Many Australians spend more than 1/3 of their day in front of a screen. Many office workers have an average daily exposure of 11.4 hours. This is out necessity rather than desire. Unfortunately, in our high performance work environments, it’s not something we can easily give up and as a result, we experience eye strain, fatigue and headaches from the constant exposure to UV rays and blue light from our screens. We need to take steps to mitigate the effects.

Exogenous Ketone Sources

Exogenous Ketones

The human body generates energy by transforming glucose produced by breaking down carbohydrates. However, when glucose is lacking during periods of low food intake, diet, starvation, intense exercise or conditions like hypoglycemia, the body begins to break down other alternative sources like ketones to generate energy.

This post aims to give a general overview of exogenous ketones and explore some of their potential benefits.

How Diet Interacts with Neurophysiology

This article attempts to explain how external molecules interact with our brain physiology in such profound ways as to change how we process information, the decisions we make, and the feelings inside us. If the explanations seem vague or the examples too circumspect, it is because they are. The best we can say as of now is that drugs and diets change brain neurochemistry. Their mechanisms and the full extent of its effects, however, remain largely obscure.

Keto Nootropics

Keto Nootropics

Ketosis describes a metabolic state where the level of ketones in your bloodstream elevate and the body burns fat for energy. Ketosis may sound like a strange and exotic phenomenon, but it is quite natural - humans evolved to use fat as energy. Nowadays this seems weird because we are over-consumers of carbohydrate and live sedentary lifestyles. A state in which we are never short of a carb refuel.
