An unprecedented visit
For me, it is almost rare to have a major illness before the age of 55. Half a century, some minor ailments, due to the lack of attention, the perennial accumulation of heavy, and lead to serious consequences. One of the most distressing is the mental system problems: neurasthenia, insomnia is a common phenomenon, giving the impression that the spirit is depressed, not old before the decline. This was compounded by a good sip of wine, of which there were two fainting spells in five years. The diagnosis: the first time was cerebral hypoxia, the second time was cerebral ischemia. That was in 2013, and since then, taking medication all year round to expand my blood vessels has become a regular part of my life. Under the effect of the medication, my body gradually returned to normal.

Sleeping even with a little light is not good for your health
"I'd like to talk about artificial light. It has been seen that it hurts health and cognitive performance. Some people are sleeping even with a little light and are not aware that artificial light at night has been seen to hurt cognitive performance and health. However, it can also be very helpful for people who want to sleep and want to get some rest. A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of artificial light on sleep. It was found that people who used artificial light at night were not able to sleep as well as people who slept in natural light. Not only are they not able to get as much rest, but these people also have worse brain performance. Sleeping with little light is not good for you. It can disrupt your sleep and cause you to wake up feeling groggy and more often it causes neck pain and headache. If you must sleep with little light, try using a night light or wearing an eye mask.
