As many as 60 million Americans who suffer from insomnia seek medical help to help him sleep better. Instead of taking tranquilizers, try the methods below, as featured Women Healths.

Eat less carbs before bed

If you're hungry, your body will release the stimulant signal that it was time to eat. If you go to bed on an empty stomach, a gust of this hormone can keep you awake.

Therefore, the consumption of a light carbohydrate snack (eg, bananas, or crackers) one hour before bedtime, suggestions, Michael Murray, MD, author of The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods. Carbohydrate accelerate the release of tryptophan from the body, which increases production of serotonin by the brain, as the key to restful sleep.

Turn off the light from an electronic device

Biologically, each light can disturb the light you wake cycles, said Herbert Yue, MD, a physician Sleep Disorders Clinic at Stanford University. For hours the eyes are forced to face a lot of light that ultimately disrupt the production of sleep hormones.

Therefore, when bedtime arrives, turn off the television and the computer 30 minutes before bedtime, and if the phone rings at night, do not turn on a light switch suddenly because of its light will be recorded in your brain to sleep again.

Create a cool atmosphere in the bedroom, then wear socks

Researchers have found that when we prepare for sleep, the body thermoregulation system divert blood from the body core to our legs, a process that could lower body temperature. Reasons for this are not clear automatically, but the possibility of an evolutionary response designed to maintain the energy of God when we wake up from sleep.

Sleep in a cool room (with an average temperature of air conditioner 20 degrees Celsius) is optimal to accelerate the process you can sleep more quickly. Not to forget, wear socks to help your body's cooling mechanism. (Ftr)

5 important things about Masturbation

Experts say most men have to masturbate, either to reduce stress, help you sleep soundly, and so forth.

Even so, there are medical matters which may never have known about masturbation. These are five important things about masturbation is to know by men:

1. There was no term "masturbation abnormal
Men often ask if there is something abnormal about the way they masturbate. The experts themselves are reluctant to define the word "normal" or "abnormal", but they claim that men do it with frequency and techniques vary widely.

"As humans, we are too diverse to adopt a particular norm of masturbation is normal or not," said Betty Dodson, PhD, sexologists from New York as well as author of the book Sex for One.

"Every man to masturbate in his own way. Did he use his hands, rubbing on something, using sex toys or household objects, wearing special clothing, fantasizing, seeing a book or magazine, try a different position, or look in the mirror," said Martha Cornog, author of The Big Book of Masturbation.

2. Masturbation does not completely secure.
Unlike sex with a partner, masturbation does not transmit sexual disease. You also will not experience muscle tension, eye bags caused by fatigue, and feeling awkward often faced when having sex with a partner.

But masturbation was not fully secured. "Masturbation is the safest sexual activity ever existed. But, the laws of physics and biology is not going to stop saying that masturbation is safe just because masturbation is normal," said Cornog.

The average man knows, if their frequency or too strong to masturbate while doing it, and it can irritate the skin of the penis. On the other hand, men do not know that the habit of masturbation with a stomach condition, for example by pressing a pillow or even a carpet on the floor, can injure the urethra. Therefore, urine from the penis are not spending as usual, but with a hard spray so difficult to control.

Barbara Bartlik, MD, psychiatrist and sex therapist in New York, said he saw a man who suffered severe urethral trauma due to masturbating face down so that he could no longer be able to use the toilet standing but had to urinate sitting down.

In particular cases are very rare, masturbate or have sex with your partner can also cause penile fracture. This painful condition occurs because the tear in the tunica albuginea (white tissue surrounding the sponge layer of the penis) due to the erect penis of a hard object or being forced to bend downward. In an emergency, this often ends in a condition required surgery.

3. Own sex change your sex life or vice versa.
For various reasons, when their own sex can benefit. Masturbation can help identify your own sexual response-what feels good for you and what did not, so you will be better able to explain to the couple about the right touch.

It also helps you learn to recognize when the "inevitable" right before the orgasm and helps teach couples how to avoid premature ejaculation.

Perhaps most significantly, masturbation is the mechanism or the best solution for men who are not able to have sex when their partner while on sick or menstruating, or have a sex drive that do not comply with himself.

For some men, "solo sex" can become an obsession so they began to lose the desire to make love with their partner. Feelings of hurt and alienation caused by the couple's obsession with "solo sex" will make you difficult to maintain relationships.

Know Tool Helper Normal Delivery

Because of various things, could have been obstacles in the process of giving birth so that appropriate assistance measures. Some conditions that create a natural birth process require assistance include weak contractions and pregnant women would no longer push.

Facing such circumstances, the birth attendants will certainly take action assistance. One of them by wearing hearing aids, known as forceps delivery and vacuum.

1. Forceps or pliers
Forceps shaped like a pair of pliers. This tool resembles a pair of metal spoons tied together in the middle (like scissors). The front of the spoon leaves usually called arches have holes and the head (cephalic curve) corresponding to the shape of the fetal head and arch your pelvis (pelvic curve) in accordance with the form of maternal pelvic cavity.

This tool not only serves to draw the head of the fetus, but also used to rotate the head of the fetus if the fetus has not been in the right position for birth. The use of forceps, which found Dr. Peter Chamberlain, has been very popular throughout the world.

Before a doctor decides to use forceps assistance, there must be strong reasons to support it, one of which is irregular contractions coming or going very weak contraction. Another factor is if the expectant mother feels tired or position of the baby's head does not rotate properly.

2. Vacuum
The advantage of this tool is no pressure on fetal head and does not take a lot of places in the pelvic cavity. Similar to the use of forceps, vacuum equipment is used only during the fetal position already in the pelvic cavity.

Vacuum tool shaped like a funnel of metal that will be pasted on the back of the head. This funnel will be spliced with rubber tubing which functions to suck the air. Gradually, the air will be sucked up so tightly in a funnel attached to a baby's scalp. Then, the baby will be slowly withdrawn along with the arrival of contraction.

The signs will Childbirth

For those of you who experienced their first pregnancy, may experience errors like this. Many other women in the world mistakenly interpret the contractions of the uterus is not fixed, which is a "sign of the birth of lies", as a sign that will bear the truth.

Usually because a sudden panic, waiting for the birth mother who is soon leaving for the hospital. However, they reached the hospital, the doctor said that was not time for delivery.

In order not experienced anything like that, it's good listening tips from The American College of obstetricians and Gynecologists following, which gives the comparison between the actual sign in labor with a mock birth:

1. If you will give birth to the truth, the contraction lasts about 30 seconds to 70 seconds, and getting closer to giving birth contractions happen more frequently. At birth sign lies, the pain is not consistent and did not occur more often when ongoing.

2. When the pain and contraction continues, even if you change your body position and walk around the room, a sign will be the actual birth. If the pain is gone when you perform the movement, rest, or change the position of the body, it is a sign of the birth of lies.

3. The pain about to give birth is very strong, and the longer the pain was getting stronger, and continues. At birth sign lies, pain can be weakened or remained the same intensity as time passes.

4. if the birth sign of pain in the stomach lies in front, on the sign of the actual birth of the pain often starts in the lower back area and then move toward the front.

If in doubt with something you think as a sign to give birth, she quickly pick up the phone, ask for advice from your obstetrician. No need to panic. (GHS/wid)
