Why Does Sleeping In Just Make You More Tired?

July 22, 2014     6:00 PM EDT

Oversleeping feels so much like a hangover that scientists call it sleep drunkenness. But, unlike the brute force neurological damage caused by alcohol, your misguided attempt to stock up on rest makes you feel sluggish by confusing the part of your brain that controls your body's daily cycle.

Your internal rhythms are set by your circadian pacemaker, a group of cells clustered in the hypothalamus, a primitive little part of the brain that also controls hunger, thirst, and sweat. Read More ...

For as long as we are programmed for the experience, these friends will stay in our lives. They may drift away and we attribute that to the changes in our lives as DNA codes update. Sometimes, for some inexplicable reason, they are suddenly gone and we are left to wonder why. Read More ...

Destination Meditation - Summer 2014

Decide on a peaceful place anywhere in the world, or above, that you would like to visit to relax and meditate. It may be a location you visited in the past or something you've seen in media. Find this image on a tablet, cell phone, or computer, and bookmark it. You might also want a hard copy to carry with you. In the future, whenever you feel stressed, find the image, relax, close your eyes, and go there. Your brain will get conditioned to finding balance and peace within that image. Meditate now ...
