The myth of the eight-hour sleep

A growing body of evidence from both science and history suggests that the eight-hour sleep may be unnatural. In the early 1990s, psychiatrist Thomas Wehr conducted an experiment in which a group of people were plunged into darkness for 14 hours every day for a month. It took some time for their sleep to regulate but by the fourth week the subjects had settled into a very distinct sleeping pattern. They slept first for four hours, then woke for one or two hours before falling into a second four-hour sleep. Though sleep scientists were impressed by the study, among the general public the idea that we must sleep for eight consecutive hours persists. Roms - www.droidhype.com > roms.

How it Works CastleOS is an integrated software suite for controlling the automation equipment in your home - an operating system for your castle, if you will.

Home Automation Made Simple

The first piece of the suite is what we call the "Core Service" - it acts as the central controller for the whole system. This runs on any relatively recent Windows computer (or more specifically, the computer that has an Insteon PLM or USB stick plugged in to it), and creates a network connection to both your home automation devices, and the second piece of the integrated suite - the remote access apps like the HTML5 app, Kinect voice control app, and future Android/iOS apps. Working in concert with the Core Service, these apps allow you to interact with the system from any device, and, with a Kinect, in any room of your house by speaking out loud. The Kinect voice control app similarly runs on a Windows computer (could be the same one as the Core Service, or not) with an Xbox360 or Windows Kinect plugged in.

Somatic psychology. While Pierre Janet can perhaps be considered the first Somatic Psychologist due to his extensive psychotherapeutic studies and writings with significant reference to the body (some of which pre-date Freud), it was actually Wilhelm Reich who was the first person to bring body awareness systematically into psychoanalysis, and also the first psychotherapist to touch clients physically, working with their bodies.[1] Reich was a significant influence in the founding of Body Psychotherapy (or Somatic Psychology as it is often known in the USA & Australia) - though he called his early work "Character Analysis"[2] and "Character-Analytic Vegetotherapy").

Somatic psychology

Several types of body-oriented psychotherapies trace their origins back to Reich, though there have been many subsequent developments and other influences (ref: entry on Body Psychotherapy and Somatic Psychology is of particular interest in trauma work.[3][4] Principles[edit] Applications[edit] History[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] On Thin Ice: Winter Ice Safety. From the golden age of cinema to America’s Funniest Home Videos to a dizzying array of Youtube videos, it seems we can’t get enough of watching other people slip and fall.

On Thin Ice: Winter Ice Safety

While there’s no denying the allure of a good pratfall, the World Health Organization estimates that as many as half a million people die from falls each year. While far from the only slip and fall hazard, ice can make getting around difficult. Be safe this winter season with these helpful tips: Walk Like a Penguin Many people who live in cold climates rarely, if ever, slip and fall, because they’ve learned to adapt with a special walking technique.

Putin Makes Obama Pay a High Price for Syria Escape. John Kerry can finally say he knows how Richard Nixon felt. Kerry rose to power because of his leading role in the American antiwar movement of the 1970s. His testimony accusing, sometimes wrongly, American soldiers of atrocities in Vietnam launched a political career that took him to the Senate, the Democratic nomination for the presidency and, now, to the top post in President Obama’s cabinet.
