    Importance of Sleep


    A man can go two weeks without eating. But if he doesn't rest at all,
    he can only survive for one week. Sleeping provides us the time to rest
    our internal organs, eyes and brains. Poor sleep quality can cause
    internal damage to our internal organs and brains.
    Therefore, sleeping is very important to us. If you wish to have a long
    life and stay healthy, please take note of the advice below.


    5 DON'TS when you are sleeping


    1-DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
    Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if
    you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

    2-DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA
    Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more
    than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. So go to bed
    without it.

    3-DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
    Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not
    encouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but
    please put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that
    electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit
    magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to
    our nervous system.
    Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off
    first.

    4-DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
    People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.
    Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in
    breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer
    time to go into deep sleep.

    5 - (and for men) DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE

    You may never wake up again.

    ang hilig ko matulog dito sa office ng nakayuko lang sa table tapos nakahiga sa arms ko wearing watch.

    [SIZE=2]Some Plastic Watches Pose Radiation Risk [/SIZE]

    From: Chicago Sun-Times Date: June 4, 1996 Author: ROBERT MATTHEWS Traces of a radioactive isotope have been found in the bodies of people who wore fashionable plastic watches, exposing some to many times the maximum recommended level of radiation. ; The watches - including some made by Swatch, the Swiss watchmaker - have been found to leak tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen that is used to make them luminous. People who wear them risk absorbing dangerous levels of tritium into their bodies, where it can trigger cancer.

    Top choice ko yung #2:

    DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA.

    Wear it like a mask while asleep.

    Enter tritium
    The next substance used to produce luminous watch dials and hands was tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen with an atomic mass of about 3. In the case of this element, the radioactivity is composed entirely of beta par-ticles that are nearly completely absorbed by the watch crystal or glass covering the dial. The tritium used in watches today is in compliance with the international Standards ISO 3157 and NIHS 97-10, which define the acceptable minimum levels for the amount of luminescence required to see the watch dial in the dark. Depending on the quality of the radioluminescent compound, it can conserve its ability to luminescence for several years. The quality also influences the luminous intensity (see Figure 2), which also depends on the surface and thickness of the deposit (see Figure 3). The pigments of the natural yellow tint yield the best results.
    Even though the radioactivity of tritium is much weaker than the isotopes discussed earlier, the handling of this product still requires special precautions. All workbenches must be equipped with a vacuum hood to remove any harmful vapours and small particles. Because they are mixed with the tritium, the radioluminescent materials are also considered as radioactive sources during their application onto the watch and must be handled with care.
    Once inside the watch and under the glass, the radioluminescent materials pose no health threat for the wearers. However, in the mind of the public, certain doubts persist, causing some people to hesitate about the purchase of this type of timepiece.

    OT na. Just wanted to point out the near futility of avoiding ionizing radiation.

    I sleep with my watch. Masama pala yun?

for those who love to sleep
