On this blog we post information about sleep, however, we have not posted much content regarding the data behind the information we are providing. So, in this post I will show you some of the most interesting statistics that we have found up to this point in time. I recently came across several sources of information that provided some interesting statistics found during various studies on human sleep patterns, the environments that influence those sleep patterns, and what effects those patterns have on your performance.
Pre-Sleeping Habits
- 9 out of every 10 Americans reported using a technological device in the hour before going to sleep
- TV is the most popular device, at 60%, used before sleep [2.]
- Those under the age of 30 more likely to use cell phones [2.]
- Using these interactive devices makes it significantly more likely to have difficulty falling asleep [2.]
- Using devices also increases the likelihood that that person will have less restful sleep [2.]
- Interactive technological devices are most strongly associated with sleep complaints
Sleep Deprivation Effects
- This blog is a big fan of Dr. Charels Czeisler, who is lauded within the community of neuroscientists who study sleep, who was influential in a study regarding the effects sleep deprivation has on cognitive abilities. [1.]
- Sleep deficiency is a “deficit in the quantity or quality of sleep obtained vs. the amount needed for optimal health, performance [1.]
- Sleep deficiency degrades immune, cardiovascular and metabolic function [1.]

These images were taken from a lecture given by Dr. Charels Czeisler. If you would like to watch the video, the link is provided in the references section. I would recommend trying to adhere to some of these suggested sleep habits. They are useful, and trust us here at #SleepMatters, it works. If you want to be more alert during the day, just try a few, they work.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
