How to Fight Insomnia

Do you suffer from insomnia ? As per an article published in the Daily Mail UK "insomnia affects about 30 per cent of us, with over 12 million prescriptions for sleeping pills written every year". 


Are you wondering how you can improve your sleep?

First of all, never forget that your bedroom should be a place to sleep and only sleep. It shouldn't be a place of entertaining. Most of us have transformed our bedroom into an office room. If so, try to improve your sleep by removing your TV, your cellphone and your laptop from your room.

Then, go to bed only when tired. So your body associate the bedroom with a place to relax and not to entertain. Professor Williams says "I think this is the first-line treatment for any sleep disorder". 

Waking up at the same time everyday is very important to your sleep. It helps your body understand when you should go to sleep and when you should wake up. Adults need in general 7 to 8 hours sleep per night.

If you have problems waking up in the morning, you can use a light therapy. It is a special lamp that helps you wake up gradually. Prof Foster says: "this activates areas of the brain promoting alertness and turns off the sleep hormone melatonin".

Last but not least, as soon as your alarm rings, get out of the bed right away! Never snooze your alarm.

Isabel Marrant SS13 Show - Paris Fashion Week

Isabel Marrant about her new collection:

"I think it's just a normal woman. You know, I am doing pret-a-porter and it says what it says: 'ready to wear'. My main concern in doing garments is doing things that you really feel like wearing every day not only for special occasions. Clothes in which you feel at ease, self-confident and pretty - a bit different too - and which leave space for the personality of each woman to be asserted.
Every day I open my cupboard and say 'OK, what can I wear this morning?'

Each time when I am starting the collection I am having a theme, but I don't want to stay too close to an exact image otherwise it becomes too literal. For this collection, well, I have always loved the Hawaiian print, and I thought of Elvis in Hawaii - that's why he was on the soundtrack for the show. Also I thought 'what is summer?' and 'what is vacation?'. There were those pictures of Bardot and Birkin walking on the port in St Tropez in the early Seventies - wearing simple clothes but with an attitude and a confidence."

It will improve your sleep by having a spoon of honey before going to bed (by itself or in a cup of herbal tea). It will help you relax and fall asleep faster, because it is a natural sleep remedy.

You can use it to treat minor cuts and burns: raw honey is an ancient remedy for cuts and burns because of its natural antibacterial properties. The honey may also help reduce scar formation.

Use it on your skin by applying a teaspoon of raw honey into your face (10 to 30 minutes) before washing with cool water. It will smooth your skin, fight wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce redness and help with blemishes.

Apply it on your hair and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing. It will work as a conditioning treatment, making your locks shiny and smooth.

Do you do DIET SODA?

We all know that diet sodas are very unhealthy, below are five reasons to remind you why not to drink it. 

ph: littlelioness

1. Diet soda drinkers have a dramatically higher risk of heart attack and stroke. 
2. Many diet sodas contain caffeine, which is an artificial stimulant and an addictive substance.
3. Aspartame is an artifical sugar that is worst than real sugar (see my previous post), it leads to high blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue and even sleep disorders.
4. Diet soda drinkers stop associating sweetness with calories and fullness, which lead to overeating, weight gain and elevation of sugar levels. 
5. Diet soda contains acid that wears down your tooth enamel.

1. Concentration; "You have to concentrate on what you are doing all the time. And you must concentrate on your entire body for smooth movements" says Friedman and Eisen. 
2. Control; "All exercises are done with control with the muscles working to lift against gravity and the resistance of the springs and thereby control de movement of the body. The Pilates method teaches you to be in control of your body and not at its mercy." says Susanne Farrell
3. Center; the center point is the focal point of the Pilates method.
4. Flow: Pilates technique asserts that physical energy exerted from the center should coordinate movements of the extremities
5. Precision: concentrate on the correct movements each time you exercise, lest you do them improperly and thus lose all the vital benefits of their value

Pilates is similar to yoga, but it has different health benefits: 

It strengths and stimulates the muscles throughout the body, it develops a strong core, it tones the body, it is a cardiovascular workout, it relieves stress, it allows adequate oxygen flow to muscles
