If you're so tense that you can't sleep, try relaxing with autogenic training. Autogenic training helps you become aware of different body parts and relax them. With enough training and practice, you can even use this method to control automatic functions like yourheart rate.24 15. Use Br...

Increased stroke volume of heart; decreased blood pressure; decreased load on the heart; decreased resting pulse rate Improved handling of excess heat and resistance to cold More calories and fat burned (even while at rest!); decreased body fat; better hunger control Decreased insulin requirement;...
Cats often sleep on their owner’s chest or stomach, and it can be safe as long as you and your cat are not in pain or discomfort. However, if you do have concerns about safety or comfort, consider providing an alternative, secure resting place. ...
researchers’ implicit and sometimes explicit hope is that their findings about mechanisms might extend to humans. My goal in this paper is to analyze how researchers established the fly as an organism in which to study sleep, the investigations they have conducted on flies, and how the results...
According to the set-point theory, the body processes information about weight and calorie intake within the “control center” of the brain called the hypothalamus.

Normal resting brain activity consumes approximately 20% of the body's energy. Maintaining healthy neurons and glia together with continuous signalling throughout the brain is highly energetic, and until recently little was known about how the brain managed the high metabolic load and waste elimination...
