2. ReadiBand Wrist-Worn Sleep Monitoring Device Revealed - 2011-02-10 13:55:18-05
   Diagnosing sleep problems can be done with various sleep-monitoring gadgets but for the business sector, here is one device that promises to check if their employees are sleep-deprived or otherwise over fatigues. The device is called the ReadiBand wrist-worn sleep monitoring device, the first solution said to produce medical-grade results in determining results of sleep quality, quantity and timing but at a fraction of the cost of an overnight stay in a specialist sleep clinic. The device is being used by major international companies as we speak, to monitor fatigue and optimize operational safety. It is worn continuously like a wristwatch and runs on rechargeable batteries. It makes use of a series of algorithms to measure sleep quality from a user’s wrist movements, technically termed ‘actigraphy’. Collected data is then wirelessly downloaded to a computer for analysis using the Nordic 2.4GHz ANT transceivers while the user is still wearing the ReadiBand after which the information is processed through a specialized performance prediction model. And the final word is of course the diagnosis and taking on pre-emptive measures to help improve employee health and ultimately, work performance.

3. Diet Soda and Lack of Sleep = Heart Attack - 2011-02-12 01:10:13-05
   Soda drinkers listen up. While you may be forced to limit your soda intake, you may want to watch your sleeping habits. A study shows that if you are not careful, you may be at risk of a heart disease. This study is from the University of Miami, where 2,500 soda drinkers were evaluated. They found those who drank diet soda daily were 61 percent more likely to have a vascular event such as a stroke. They found chronic short sleep produces hormones and chemicals that increase your risk of developing heart disease. Sleeping less than six hours a night gives a 48 percent greater chance of developing or dying from heart disease. Though a study, you may want to consider this concern. Sleep issues are growing to date so if you want to stay healthy, be aware of these findings to make sure you don't be part of it.

   If a loud alarm fails to get you up from bed then perhaps a creepy looking alien will. This is the Alien Hunt Alarm Clock, a device where an alien pops out of the a innocently looking egg when it is time to get up from bed.
