Looking at Twitter statuses with the hashtags #goodmorning and #goodnight, researchers at Mornings.co.uk were able to determine which parts of the world get the most sleep, and which ones just don't do so well when it comes to slumber. In regard to the United States, Michigan has the shortest sleep duration while Minnesota has the longest. The results note that North America gets the least amount of sleep than any other continent, an average of 8 hours and 11 minutes.

It was three and a half years ago, and Ms. Stuart couldn’t get used to sleeping in a bra, which was necessary to hold pads to absorb milk that leaked during the night. “Nothing was comfortable, and nothing felt like it was designed with that in mind,” she said. “It was just, we’re going to slap a bandaid on this problem until you get through it.” Read more. | | | | | Our readers are invited to email us with their questions!
Q: Why Does My Throat Get Dry at Night? (Joe B.) Joe, a dry throat and mouth could be due to a medical condition like Sjogren’s or a side effect of certain drugs. But dryness that occurs only at night is most likely caused by breathing through your mouth while you sleep. This is often triggered by colds, allergies, or structural problems such as a deviated nasal septum that make nose breathing difficult. Mouth breathing is also more common when you sleep on your back, as noted above, and for individuals who have sleep apnea. If you often wake up during the night and have to drink water to soothe a dry throat and mouth, talk to your doctor. All these potential underlying causes can be treated. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What Can I Do About Night Sweats? (Miranda S.) Miranda, if you wake up during the night feeling hot and sweaty, you’re probably just overheated. Lowering the thermostat and adjusting your blankets should help. However, if you frequently awaken drenched in sweat, it’s a good idea to get to the bottom of it. Hormonal imbalances such as menopause in women and low testosterone in men are an easily treated cause of night sweats. Medications, especially antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs, are another common culprit. More serious but rarer conditions, including hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), infections, and cancer, can also cause night sweats. | | All in One Location - SleepTesting, CPAP/APAP, Dental Mouthpieces, Surgery, Laser Therapy, & More
