Wenatex Blog :: Healthy Sleep for a Better Life

During pregnancy I had terrible problems with memory, particularly with numbers. I remember going to the bank with two cheques and had to ask the teller to add them for me! I believe this is commonly referred to as “placenta brain”.

Well there was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday stating that Australian researchers have discovered that the “reason for the decline in auditory memory is suspected to be poor quality sleep”! I wish I had have known that during pregnancy!!!!

Read the article at http://www.smh.com.au/national/thanks-for-the-memory-loss-baby-20090328-9es3.html and let me know your “placenta brain” stories.

When your teenage son or daughter emerges from his/her bedroom at noon, do you accuse him/her of being lazy? Now you might have to think twice as researchers believe there could be a biological reason for why teenagers get up late. For more, read this very interesting article by the BBC in the UK.
