For his CBS segment, he interviewed Jeff Bell, KCBS radio broadcaster and author of “Rewind, Replay, Repeat: A Memoir of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” and “When In Doubt, Make Belief: Life Lessons from OCD.” In his Huffington Post piece, Dr. LaPook writes: “It’s my OCD.” I hear that on and off from friends and patients who half-jokingly use the term to describe overly careful behavior (such as double-checking to make sure the stove is off) but don’t actually have obsessive-compulsive disorder. True OCD can be a devastating disease. Patients have intrusive, uncontrollable thoughts and severe a...

There’s a lunar eclipse early tomorrow (Saturday) morning that we won’t be able to see. Everyone in the rest of the country will either have to stay up really late or get up very early – two things we’re not incredibly fond of, so maybe it’s for the best that we miss out on this one. For those of you on Central Daylight Time, you’ll see the biggest eclipse of the moon at 6:38 a.m.; for Mountain Timers, it’ll be 5:38 a.m.; and if you’re on Pacific Time, it’s 4:38 a.m. You have fun moon-gazing, we’ll have fun snoozing. You can tell us all about it after we’ve had our morning coffee. Post from: BlissTree Coming Soon: Lunar Eclipse (Tomorrow Mo...

Most of us work crazy schedules.  Taking time off to see a “skin doctor” might be frowned upon.  So first you want to find someone with hours that fit into your schedule. Location is another important consideration.  If you have plenty of money, you might consider flying to Michigan to see Nicholas Perricone or flying to New York to see Dennis Gross.  But, you had better call the office first.  Those famous guys might not be taking any new patients. For most of us, taking a flight to have someone evaluate our skin problems is just not realistic.  Ideally, you would choose a location within an hour’s drive of your home.  Some procedure...

Nine were “evening types” who prefer to stay up late at night and sleep late in the morning; nine were “morning types” who prefer to go to bed early and wake up early. Data were collected four times in one day: at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.Results show a difference in brain activity between the two groups. In morning types their “cortical excitability” was highest at 9 a.m.; this level decreased throughout the day. The brain activity of evening types was highest at 9 p.m.The study also tested reflex response and maximum muscle force. Reflex response was tested using spinal-cord stimulation; muscle force was measured by maximum c...

One does not have to travel far to be able to enjoy Summer at it's best. Surrounded by nature and not too far away from culture, library, friends summer life is good. And what about just staying home and do some gardening? This year many Dutch people choose to spend their vacation in our own country because of the economic situation. This week it was announced that 1:10 people is expected to become jobless in 2010 in The Netherlands!! I feel lucky to have a regular income because of my Disabilty Insurance Act payment.

Is the risk of depression greater in “evening types” (“night owls”) or “morning types” (“morning larks”)?The study involved 200 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 99 years. Results show that people who are “evening types” have a higher risk of severe depressive symptoms.MSNBC reports that evening types went to bed around midnight; morning types went to bed around 11 p.m. and woke up about 40 minutes earlier. Total sleep time was about the same for the two groups.The study was unable to show if sleep schedule causes depression. But it suggests that going to bed and waking up a little earlier could improve your mood.Yet making a change may not be easy; your DNA has a strong influence on when you pref...

Each day can be the start of a new discovery. While gardening in my front garden I remove the grass which has grown between the tiles the freedom of mind once again comes alive. It feels like my inner source has something to tell me.Being statisfied with the result (the path to my front door has never looked better since I live here) I stand and watch my garden. The birds are singing in the sky. The summer has begun. Clouds in the sky are passing by without disturbing the sunshine warmth. This is life. In the silence of a summer evening I realise I might already have all the equipment needed for the journey through life. It's all there it is just a matter of removing things that might block your way.When I enter the house I almost immediately close the curtains. Goodbye ...

Night owls are more alert in the evening. But which “chronotype” enables people to function better over the length of a day?A new study in Science takes a look. It involved 16 early morning risers and 15 night owls. They performed alertness tests in a brain scanner after following their normal sleep schedule.Newsweek and Science report that both groups performed well when they took the test 1.5 hours after waking. But the night owls pulled ahead when both groups were tested after being awake for 10.5 hours. They were more alert and had faster reaction times. Overall their performance improved by about 6 percent.So do night owls have a natural alertness advantage over morning larks? Not necessarily.Health News points out that an advan...

Some were mothers, some were pregnant, and some had no children.Results show that women with children are more likely to be “morning types.” This means they would have a stronger tendency to go to bed early and wake up early.The study found that mothers woke up about 1.5 hours earlier on weekends. Women with children also reported falling asleep faster than the other women.Which group of women got the most sleep?

This is also called your “chronotype.” It turns out that your DNA has a strong influence on when you like to sleep.Some people have a circadian clock that makes them “evening types.” These “owls” have a natural tendency to stay up late at night and sleep late in the morning. Children tend to become night owls as teens because of a shift in the timing of their circadian clocks.Some night owls have delayed sleep phase disorder. This involves a struggle to conform to work or social demands. It can be difficult for them to function well during the day.Other people are natural “morning types.” These “larks” prefer to go to bed early and wake up early. Adults often become larks as t...

With two preschoolers to take care of, it can sometimes be for me. But I and my husband do our best to make meal times stress-free especially in the evenings because we know that the more relaxed our evening is, the better the kids - and us - could sleep. Besides, stress, as we know, is bad for our health, affects our appetite (either way is possible), and can interfere with our digestion. There is therefore a need to remove stress from our evening meals. A recent WebMD article gave the following recommendations - 6 Ways to De-Stress at the Dinner Table: Turn down the volume. Set the Table to Set the Mood. Let There Be (Soft) Light. Control the Conversation. Keep Your Cool in the Kitchen. Keep It Real. I agree with some of th...

If so, you’ve likely met resistance at every angle. I operate an International Brain Based Renewal Center – and so have the privilege of working with change agents all over the world.
