  • The Architecture Of Sleep
    By: Destry Masterson | - Consciousness, the most well-known stage of awareness, this is probably the stage awareness you are in right now. Perhaps you are a bit drowsy and you find your mind wandering, you are still completely conscious even if you cannot focus for more than four hundred words.

    When you start preparing for sleep you begin to phase through the semi-consciousness sleep stage. This is when you are technically neither asleep nor awake, most people aroused from semi-consciousness will deny ...

  • Trying To Raise Sleep Awareness
    By: Destry Masterson | - Apart from clandestine politicians meeting in dark alleys to figure out ways of enslaving you through legislations with misleading titles, there is a lot that goes on in the dark night. While you are sleeping your body is actually hard at work doing a number of things that would have never happened had you not become unconscious.

    The brain is the center of the body- not literally, that would be the torso-it is controlling all the movements, actions, thoughts, and emotions that y ...

  • How Do Linden Method Reviews Help You
    By: Andy Sandy | - One of the main problems with anxiety is that you may not notice that you are already suffering from it. It is very possible that what you are already experiencing can already be considered as such. However, since you do not know what anxiety really is, you may just consider your condition as simply being a worrier. Of course, if you are not aware that you already have the disease, it is very likely that you would simply decide to relax a bit as though it is the most effective solution. Ultim ...

  • Learn To Fear Less
    By: Dan Griffin | - Fearless. That is what I have wanted to be most of my life. When I was a small child it seemed to me I experienced more fear than other. I couldnt say why this was. Genetic anomaly, misfiring neurons, maybe a spiritual malady, perhaps all three. What I can say is that I wanted it gone. Take it away! Alone, is something I felt a lot. When near other men I thought they could not be sharing in my experience. It turns out I was wrong.

  • Dangers Of Not Dreaming
    By: Destry Masterson | - This is not an article set to motivate you into doing more with your life. In a literal sense dreaming and ambitions are two totally different things.

    Whether you have any ambition in your life isn't going to make you dream at night or even stop you from dreaming. But, even if you do not care about doing things with your rapidly dwindling existence, you probably still want to maintain a healthy one for the short time period you have it.

  • Story Of Sleep Through History
    By: Destry Masterson | - In 1953 there was an astounding discovery made, it was the discovery of REM (rapid eye movement). When this was first recorded the professors thought that they had found a man possessed by Beelzebub.

    The reason this REM wasn't discovered until just sixty years ago is because researchers were concerned about wasting paper, and were probably tired by the time their patients fell asleep any way. Luckily for mankind the fifties produced a more fearless, tireless researcher who wasn' ...

  • How To Deal With Clinophobia
    By: Destry Masterson | - Going to bed; that time in the day when you say good bye to the sun, welcome the stars and the moon to watch over you, and peacefully drift into unconsciousness. That is how it is for the normal person who doesn't suffer from clinophobia.

    Clinophobia is the fear of going to bed. Most people that do not have a thorough knowledge of the inner mechanics of the brain won't understand why this phobia can be so prevailing.

  • Drastically Change Your Life Through Dreaming
    By: Destry Masterson | - Philosophers for ages have told men to hold to their dreams, to let their thoughts and desires dictate their actions. And, for ages people have people have been skeptical as to whether dreams were actually beneficial or if they were just random expressions of the infinite imagination.

    Modern neurology reveals that when you are dreaming you are, in fact, developing thoughts and even muscle memory. When you sleep that is the only time the brain has to actually shut down and sta ...

Though, these dreams do not just come out of thin air, there is something spurring every thought in your head conscious or subconscious.

  • Sleep Right And Effectively
    By: Destry Masterson | - During the day your brain is actively firing electric pulses through a vast network of neurons, this is how thought is created, memories are remembered, and emotions are felt. Basically everything you do, feel or think is going to center from your brain.

No realize, you don't even know what that word means, so if someone could use that in a sentence they are probably intelligent enough to tell something of actual worth.

    First to enlighten you, floccinaucinihilipilification means to assume something as worthless. So if you are assuming chakras and vortex alignment to be useless, you have a near sighted and un ...

  • Your Brain While You Sleep
    By: Destry Masterson | - There are a few different dream states when the brain is in sleep mode, among them the most important and heavily observed is REM dreaming. During this stage of sleep the whole brain is actually activated, except the thoughts don't derive from the neo-cortex like they would if you were conscious, but instead they spur from the amygdala.

    Quick biology/ neurology lesson: the amygdala is the portion of the brain that is activated during times of fight or flight, meaning it governs ...

  • Sleep Paralysis Reasons For Concern
    By: Destry Masterson | - There are a few things that human beings need: water, food, oxygen and sleep. Just like how food is going to replenish energy or how oxygen invigorates blood, sleep is going to revitalize the mind.

    People who suffer from sleep paralysis usually think their minds are anything but vitalized, and one stressing experience of being trapped in a body that won't move will certainly leave you shaken, enough to lose any benefits from the sleep you didn't get. The thing to understand is t ...

  • Change Your Waking Life
    By: Destry Masterson | - On the surface sleep seems to be rather uneventful, to the naked eye it is just a slightly, cold body breathing slowly underneath a stack of blankets and on top of a cushioned mattress and some pillows. The real magic is what is happening behind the scenes and inside the mind.

    There are two different types of dream states, REM (Rapid Eye Movement) dreaming and slow wave dreaming, both have their necessary benefits. REM dreams are the most popular and memorable dreams, and for a ...

    By: Destry Masterson | - Since the beginning of time people have contemplated the significance of dreams. Biblically dreams have played a huge role.

    In the story of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Joe interprets dreams for people. For this story to be true it would require that first dreams have purpose, and second that they are applicable to future events.

    Modern studies have shown that is precisely what dreams do. It is fascinating to think that even while you sleep you a ...

  • Amazing Facts About Sleep
    By: Destry Masterson | - First off when you enter REM sleep you are paralyzed. Most people don't know that.

    The reason is, the brain is actually testing hypothetical scenarios that we may have to deal with in the future. It is actually sending signals to different muscles and creating muscle memory during REM sleep.

    If the brain didn't paralyze your body during sleep you would be off walking around, mumbling incoherently, and possible urinating on the stove. OK maybe not exactly that, b ...

If it were, the amygdala would most certainly play a crucial role, seeing as it is responsible for responding to emotional expressions and is critical for stimulus-reinforcement learning. Additionally, the amygdala is involved in the act of associating stimuli with punishment and rewards.
