6 Minutes to a Better Memory
October 4th 2008 05:53
Signature Tune
For a quick and easy boost to your brainpower this weekend, pull down the shades, close your eyes, and catch some daytime ZZZs.
People who take daytime naps outperform non-nappers on memory exercises. And, surprisingly, a mere 6 minutes of shut-eye is enough to refresh the mind.
The Shut-Eyes Have It
How does a quick catnap power up your thinker? Seems the mere act of falling asleep triggers a brain-boosting neurobiological process that remains effective regardless of how long you snooze.

What is it with you and brain love? Are you scared you're getting Alzheimers in your old age?
Just kidding,

And, of course statistics show we are in for a huge epidemic of Alzheimer's with an ageing population, and people really don't use their brain much after they have finished their initial learning ( there are exceptions, like myself, of course, and even I am getting a bit slack) plus I too am learning by doing this and not always liking what I am learning.
For a more comprehensive explanation, start with my blog no 1 and work through, and unlike yourself Dianna, I don't set great store on a writing career, and nor, it seems do most around here, and if you look at the stats, my poetry blog comes up well in writing and it's not even my own work, but I think it's nice for folks to have a little collection of poetry to which they can refer.
By acknowledged poets, the others have yet to show their credentials.
It's a hard world as you have probably already learned, rather earlier than some, I only learned that late in life.
Incidentally, I have always had a superb memory, but that does not mean I remember everything, forgetting is as necessary as remembering and not being able to forget is a serious disorder.
So what's with me and the brain, we all have one, we should take it seriously and use it far in excess of what most do. Variety is the key.

Nice, long response there. Detailed.
Most sane/smart people don't set great store in a writing career. I'm just screwed up in the head. Doomed to die young.

Take it easy on yourself Dianna, you have many years to recover from what's bothering you, but obey a few rules to protect your health.
I do hope someone is looking after you, you need it at your age.

He seems to have given you some good advice, ignoring my post, of course.
But, then again, he is a male.

Don't worry; I'll get over it. It's just stress sickness.

Katyzzz,
Yes he has. Very interesting. He invaded your mind for a moment there.
Very intrusive. But then aren't most men?
