~5.7 mins read
Have you sleeping habits been affected by your work routine, travels, or even leisure, in this article, we'd be exploring some tips that will help you get them back.
The act or sleeping is not a luxury, but a necessity. If you continue to operate without enough sleep, you may see more long-term and serious health problems.
Some of the most serious potential problems associated with chronic sleep deprivation are diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure or stroke and heart attack. Other potential problems include depression, obesity, impairment in immunity and lower sex drive.

I've heard many 'hustlers' saying things like they'd sleep when they get what they're looking for. I remember this quote by Joseph Prince; 'Don't use all your health to chase after wealth, only to spend all your wealth later to get back your health'.
When you consider the present world, you'd observe that many individuals have sacrificed their health in their quest to get wealth, a move that later comes to pay in the future.
Below are some tips you need to start applying today to help you fall asleep easily:

5 Easy Ways To Fall Asleep
When you consider the present world, you'd observe that many individuals have sacrificed their health in their quest to get wealth, a move that later comes to pay in the future.
Below are some tips you need to start applying today to help you fall asleep easily:
• Consistency
You can actually help your system adapt to a sleeping time by waking up at the same time every day. Waking up early won't only help keep the rest of your day organised, but also help you sleep better at night.
In summary, a fixed wake time will help your system build a strong desire for sleep throughout wakefulness. With time, your sleep drive will gradually build and you'd notice that shortening it by sleeping in will make it harder to fall asleep the next night.

• Manipulate lighting
Manipulating your exposure to light rays during the day might also help reset your body clock. The natural lightness and darkness cycles are a key “zeitgeber†that acts on the mechanisms of your sleep clock and circadian rhythm.
Your eyes detect light cycles through the retinal ganglion cells and transmit the information to your suprachiasmatic nucleus or nuclei (SCN). Hence you fall asleep in the absence of light, when the SCN prompts the pineal gland to produce melatonin and also wake up in the presence of light when your body ceases melatonin production.

• Sleep time not working time
Try your best to work during your working hours and sleep during your sleeping hours. Unless it's your official working hour, nights shouldn't be for replying emails or performing other similar tasks.
Also limit the rate at which you play video games or watch TVs, especially minutes to your bedtime. These activities, like I explained earlier, will suppress melatonin (the sleep hormone) thereby making it hard for you to fall asleep.

• Read a book
Lemme share a short story. Some years back, I think in my JSS 3, I complained to my Mum (during the holidays) that I was having issues sleeping in the night and she advised me to read while on the bed. To cut the long story short, I tried the method and lost the book that night. it was a very interesting novel and was stolen before I woke up the next morning.
This proves beyond doubt that this method of getting to sleep is very effective. Before I forget, remember rule 2 above, if you want it to work for you, always go for hardcopies. Tablets and smartphones emit blue lights, so reading from them isn't advisable.

• Listening to music
When I want to dance, I go for Davido, when I want to sleep, I go for Celine Dion. That's my little secret, yours might be different or even... My kid bro sleeps with a lullaby and he has many of them on his phone.
All you need is a soothing environment, so I'd recommend you try something soft at a low volume. It'd help relax your mind while creating an avenue for sleep to come.

• Take lesser siestas
I personally observed that whenever I take an afternoon rest or nap, I find it harder sleeping in the night. While siestas are great, I'd recommend you pause taking them if you're trying to change your sleep pattern as it'll hinder your efforts.
In addition to this, you might also be tempted to turn off your alarm clock and sleep in during the weekends, after all, you won't be going to your workplace. This is not advisable as your brain doesn't differentiate between weekdays and weekends, so altering your routine will confuse your body and disrupt the pattern you are trying to set.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE FUTURE OF COSMETIC SURGERY
~2.6 mins read
The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted practically every industry around the world.In particular, it’s impact on non-essential and healthcare industries has been astronomical. When we look into the cosmetics industry, for example, it was an industry that was continuing to blossom as popularity in the industry grew over the years.
However, the impact of COVID-19 has caused practices and treatments to be temporarily halted as they adjust to new standards and regulations to protect patients and staff. It’s also likely these guidelines will remain for many many months as practices and surgeons look to adapt to these new times. Here, we take a look at what the future could look like for the cosmetics industry from the aftermath of COVID-19.Telemedicine increaseWe’ve had to have a dependence on technology as a result of the global pandemic as we become out of touch with our close, loved ones. Similarly, practices have had to close or rearrange their appointments as they only have the ability to treat essential and emergency patients. Understandably, this has seen a growth in telemedicine as surgeons try to treat patients remotely.
In the many months to come, it’s likely these methods will be the norm for surgeries that are having to adapt to these new times. Patient experience will be different to what they’re used to as technology is likely to have a major influence on the industry.Difference in face-to-face appointmentsSocial distancing measures continue to be applied for many public spaces and surgical practices are likely to adhere to these guidelines for the near future. In order to be safe, government health guidelines recommend people not in the same household remain 2m apart in order to protect themself from contracting the virus.
Considering how quickly a virus has the potential to spread in a surgical practice, the experience of face to face appointments are likely to be completely different. Implementations such as hand sanitizers, air filters and minimal contact between staff will continue to be the norm for months to come.Popularity in fillers and botox will remainAlthough cancellations have likely happened with many appointments for patients, the demand for treatments are likely to remain. In particular, botox and filler treatments continue to be sought after with their continuous success. Where some patients may be willing to hold off on a breast reduction surgery, having to continue their treatment on wrinkles will still be a priority.
Patients will be eager to learn when their rescheduled appointment will be as they may be beginning to lose the effects of their treatment. This indicates that once normality hits again, we’re likely to see patients flood in for the treatment once again.Safety guidelines could make cosmetic surgery less appealing in the futureWhichever angle you look at the industry, the COVID-19 pandemic has had major effects. Until there’s a possibility of a vaccine coming into place or the population having a recovery from its impact, the cosmetic industry isn’t likely to be the same again and popularity levels may not be what it once was as patients fear for their safety.Thanks a lot for reading along
