3rd Eye Vision ( A music video set to Fischerspooner's The 15th )
My music video to Fischerspooner's cover of German post punk band Wire's song The 15th. This was my first attempt at editing. I did it all on imovie HD, and shot it with my macbook's isight from my brothers car on the drive home. All the psychedelic light show images are just certain segments of the drive home with some effects laced on 'em. My concept/story is that you're falling asleep and when you close your eyes you get that neon light show on your eyelids. I hope this inspires people to make their own videos to music with creativity rather than an overload of product placement ( not talking about the original video ). So go out there people and be creative before it becomes a privilege and not a right!
Also, leave a comment and let me know what you think! My music video to Fischerspooner's cover of German post punk band Wire's song The 15th. This was my first attempt at editing... more -
More sleep = happy teens? Who'da thunk it ...
I wish they had done this when I was still in school. The results only raise more questions that may answer quite a few of the issues facing teens today. Think about it. I also find it funny that I'm posting this at 0400 ...
"Teens whose high schools have a delayed start time sleep longer and report less daytime sleepiness, say researchers at Norwalk Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center in Connecticut.
The study included 259 high school students who reported sleeping about 7.03 hours per school night, with a mean bed time of 10:52 p.m. and a mean wake-up time of 6:12 a.m. when school started at 7:35 a.m.
After the school start time was switched to 8:15 a.m., the students' total sleep time on school nights increased 33 minutes, mainly due to a later rise time. Their bedtime on school nights was slightly later, and there was a slight decrease in weekend sleep time. After the change in school start time, more students reported having no problem with daytime sleepiness.
"Following a 40-minute delay in start time, the students utilized 83 percent of the extra time for sleep. This increase in sleep time came as a result of being able to 'sleep in' to 6:53 a.m., with little delay in their reported school night bedtime. This study demonstrates that students given the opportunity to sleep longer, will, rather than extend their wake activities on school nights," study corresponding author Dr. Mary B. O'Malley said in a prepared statement.
The research was expected to be presented at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, in Baltimore.
In other study results expected to be presented at the meeting, researchers found that teens who don't get enough sleep suffer lower school grades and lack of motivation and are increased risk for serious emotional and behavioral problems.
The University of Kentucky study of 882 high school freshmen found that they slept an average of 7.6 hours per school night, with 48 percent reporting less than eight hours.
The researchers found a strong association between hours of sleep per school night and GPA, level of motivation, emotional disturbance and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Each additional hour of sleep on school nights reduced the risk of scoring in the clinically significant range of emotional disturbance and ADHD by 25 percent and 34 percent, respectively.
"Since these findings are based on associations rather than direct experimental manipulation, they cannot conclusively prove that insufficient sleep causes a loss of motivation, poor grades, ADHD and emotional disturbance during adolescence," study author Fred Danner said in a prepared statement.
"These results, however, are consistent with a growing body of research that many adolescents do not get sufficient sleep, and that even mild chronic sleep deprivation has serious effects on their psychological functioning. Lack of sleep should no longer be considered a traditional adolescent rite of passage, because it can have serious consequences," Danner said."

Research says coffee aroma alone 'enough to wake up'
Just the smell of coffee could be enough to wake us up in the morning, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that the aroma of coffee helped restore brain activity in sleep-deprived rats to normal or near-normal levels.
The finding, published in New Scientist, has led to suggestions that factory owners should pump the smell of coffee into the building to revive flagging workers unable to have a cup.

Fetal Sleeping position and multiple orgasms
Who knew even our sleeping position would
characterize who we are,
we're animals.
From the article....
"Here are four basic individual sleep positions:
1. In the prone position, sleeper lies face down on the stomach with arms extended and bent, usually framed above the head. People who regularly sleep in the prone position - and both Madonna and I are in this category, interestingly enough - tend to have strong compulsive tendencies and stubbornness in their personalities and are persistent and goal-oriented.
2. The royal position is the geometric opposite of the prone. The royal sleeper lies supine, fully on the back, with arms slightly akimbo at the sides. It's an open, vulnerable and expansive position, and these people display self-confidence and self-involvement. Workaholic businessmen and entrepreneurs often prefer this position.
3. The most common position, the semi-fetal, has sleepers lying on their sides with knees slightly bent, one arm outstretched above the head, the other resting comfortably on the opposing upper arm to cradle the head. Conciliatory, compromising, non-threatening, non-shakers; sleep experts claim this to be the optimal sleep posture position.
4. The full-fetal is the characteristic womb position. Sleepers lie curled on their sides, with knees pulled all the way up, heads bent forward. Usually a pillow or blanket mass is centered at the stomach. These people are highly emotional, sensitive, artistic, and have intense one-on-one relationships. Oddly, it's found that women who sleep in this position normally have heightened capacity for multiple orgasms. ..." Who knew even our sleeping position would characterize who we are, we're animals.

NIghtmare after waking up in bed
A robber not only carted away cash and belongings but before that had the cheek to lie naked beside a woman whose house he'd broken into.
The victim, a 36-year-old housewife, wrote in her report that she was fast asleep in the hall of her house at Kampung Bukit Tok Beng in Seberang Takir, when she was awakened by a naked man.
She claimed she was not aware that the man, who had caressed and slept beside her, was not her husband.
She said the intruder also had covered his face with a T-shirt.
The man tried to coax the woman to go into another room, saying he was drunk.
The woman then called out her husband's name and the thief replied “I am him”.
The housewife smelled something fishy as his voice didn't sound like her husband's. She then went to another room and found her husband fast asleep on the couch.
That's when she screamed causing the thief to flee by leaping out the window together with the stolen items.
State Deputy CID chief Supt Khairi Ahrasa said police were close to solving the case, as they believed the thief was from the same village.

Emotions Run Amok in Sleep-Deprived Brains
"Without sleep, the emotional centers of our brains dramatically overreact to bad experiences, research now reveals.
'When we're sleep deprived, it's really as if the brain is reverting to more primitive behavior, regressing in terms of the control humans normally have over their emotions,' researcher Matthew Walker, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, told LiveScience.
