How To Get Rid Of Insomnia | Self Healing Techniques Series
Insomnia is characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite having all the conditions conducive to normal sleep. It’s a symptom of a sleeping disorder. Due to lack of sleep, insomniacs typically suffer from functional impairment while awake.
Insomnia could happen because of neuroses, some cardiovascular and mental diseases and also due to damages of brain formations regulating correct alternation of a dream and wakefulness.
Normally healthy people could also have an occasional insomnia which could appear after a physical or intellectual over strain, exhaustion, or due to strong emotions.

How to Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) | Self Healing Techniques Series
The Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a problem of many people these days and it gets worse all the time as we spend more and more time using computers, and less and less people can choose not to use the keyboard and the mouse. It’s funny that even while you read this very article your hand is most likely resting on a mouse.
Those of us who have to type and use the mouse for many hours in a row day after day are very prone to developing RSI. However if you aren’t a computer professional, you are still in the same risk group. In fact as a non-professional you are more likely to develop RSI, because professionals typically buy ergonomic equipment and office furniture which helps prevent the repetitive strain injury, whereas you don’t.
The main reason for RSI is excessive loading on joints that were not designed by nature to bear the repetitive weight and movements that happen while (mostly incorrectly) using the keyboard and mouse.
