  • Importance of Sleep

    by admin, Posted on Jun.28, 2009, under management, sleep, stress

    Although most persons spend a third of each 24 hours day asleep, no one fully understands why the body has to sleep. Without sleep a person deigns to hallucinate, and mental faculties quickly deteriote. When a person is asleep, body metabolism is slower, breathing rate and heart rate both drop, body temperature also drops, and there is reduction in muscle tone. Sleep occurs in several stages. About three quarters of sleep time is spent in deep sleep. Sleep requirements vary from person to person and from age to age. A new born baby may need as much as 21 hours of sleep per day. A growing child needs more sleep than an adult. Elderly persons tend to require less sleep than an active adult but they make up for sleep lost during the night by napping during the day.

  • Rest and Relaxation

    by admin, Posted on Jun.17, 2009, under management, stress

    A relaxed person is better equipped to cope with the pressures of everyday living. Many people find it difficult to relax and need to be taught relaxation techniques in order to stop wasting energy on needless activity.
    Relaxing is a skill. Physical relaxation is best obtained after a period of intense activity, such as a sport game or jogging. This principle applies to relaxation exercises that help a person to be aware of the tone of the body muscles. It is easy to feel when is tensed for activity, but difficult to feel when it is fully relaxed. Relaxation exercises systematically tense the muscles throughout the body, starting at the toes and working upward toward the head. Then there is a conscious ‘letting go’ or relaxing one. It is this point that a person can start, after much practice, to ‘automatically’ relax.
    Deep breathing with the diaphragm is also good way to help relaxation. Lie or sit down comfortable. Place the hands on the abdomen just below the ribcage. Slowly inhale through the nostrils, pulling the fingers open ward to the shoulders. Hold the breath for a few seconds, and then slowly exhale through the nostrils. At the end of the exhalation, concentrate on the rib shoulder muscles in their relaxed state. It is believed that four or five deep breaths prepare them for any stressful situation.

  • Easy Techniques for Coping with Stress

    by admin, Posted on Jun.16, 2009, under management, stress

    Many of the factors that help a person handle the ordinary stress of life can simply involve a commonsense approach to daily activities, getting enough sleep each night, setting aside relaxation, avoiding overwork, discussing problems with family or friends and cultivating a confident, positive mental attitude.
    The amount of sleep required varies from person to person, and even in the same person from night to night. It is important to have a steady and sufficient amount of sleep if you are to avoid chronic fatigue and exhaustion. The amount of sleep needed to feel rested and refreshed indicates how many hours of sleep an individual requires. If sufficient sleep is obtained one night, the next sleep period should be longer to make up for it. It is better to go to bed earlier on the next night rather than to wake up later on the following day.
    Another major factor in promoting mental health is having circle of family members and friends on whom an individual can rely for psychological support or financial aid in times of trouble, The security os such a support group can eliminate or greatly reduce anxiety. When a problem does arise, discussing it with a family member or friend is often enough to put the problem into its proper perspective. By the same token, a person can attain great satisfaction and feelings of self-worth from supporting another in time of stress, acting as an adviser, helper, or just a good listener.
    The more secure a person feels, the more likely he or she is to be mentally healthy. The groundwork for emotional security is laid in childhood.
