  1. Thanks for sharing, I hope this will be useful to somebody:).
  2. Hey guys, I have problems with my sleep lately, and I think I know the causes, and what place could be better than various folks of different sciences to get an explanation..right? Well, atleast I hope so. Anyways. My room is an electronic's scrapyard. Lots of stuff that's running, lots of magnetic devices and such that are just on the table. I noticed if I go to sleep in an another room, after I spend my evening with those powered-up electronics in my room, I get a vastly better sleep. Now, I thought that my electronics burn up the air, or atleast they dry it out immensely. But, even though I vent the room for like 2 hours, if I get up I still think the air is dry. I? thought the equipment cools down faster? Or what's the point? ( Mainly in the evenings I watch various things, so I use a couple of PA speakers, a TV and my laptop/desktop). Also, I thought that maybe I sleep too much? I noticed if I don't need to go to work, I set up my alarm clock for 8 hours, and like today.. it ranged, I woke up desperatly tired (why is that? 8 hours..0o), and I "passed out" again, woke up as I've been asleep for 10-11 hours and again I felt like been driving over with a bulldozier. So I'm despirately looking for some answers. I'm sorry if I posted this in a wrong thread, kind of difficult to find the right one for such questions. I've been to my doctors, so they tell stories of how they even carry their cellphones out of the room, but that doesn't seem to help..well I vent out everything. So what's the solution? Have 2 different rooms? Why is the air dry and I get a head ake when I wake up? What could be inflicting this? The magnetic fields? _______________ Update! Well, I tried to look elsewhere, thinking that no one cares about this stuff and instantly found some info, if someone is interested: "The other reason these electronic devices may be causing issues with sleep is the radiation factor. As I mentioned in my post on jet lag last year, certain types of radiation cause oxidative stress in the body that can lead to sleep disturbance (jet lag may have as much to do with radiation exposure during flights than time zone changes). Computer use certainly increases radiation exposure, as does use of cell phones or WiFi devices." "One has to do with light. Melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating our sleep-wake cycle, is produced by the pineal gland in the centre of the brain. Production of melatonin by the pineal gland is turned off by light and turned on by darkness. A good way to mess with this is to stare at a glowing screen after the sun goes down. It's generally recommended for maximizing melatonin production that you avoid bright lights in general a few hours before sleep, particularly blue-toned lights like TVs and computer monitors. If you think about it, pre-technology humans would only have used fire for light at night. That's considerably dimmer than our hundred watt bulbs flashing TV screens and is yellow light rather than blue. If you dim the lights in your house and try to use indirect lighting closer to bedtime, preferably with incandescent bulbs, you might find it easier to be catching those Zs." taken from http://www.thatsfit....disturbs-sleep/ so RGB screens and radiation from the magnetic fields seem to be the problem I guess?... Need to say goodyes to everyone several hours before sleep and lay those things down. Anyone has any more thoughts on this?
