12.1 Danger in the crib? (1/12/2014)
More than half of infants in the United States are still sleeping in unsafe conditions in cribs containing blankets, pillows and other loose bedding that has been shown to dramatically raise the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a new government study finds.
...“It’s good to see that the proportion of infants sleeping with soft bedding has declined,” Shapiro-Mendoza said. “But it’s still surprising that despite recommendations against this kind of bedding 50 percent still are sleeping with it.”
The study comes more than a decade after a government-backed campaign urged parents to place infants on their backs on a firm, tight-fitting mattress without pillows, quilts or other soft bedding.

12.2 Diabetes Ages the Brain 5 Years Faster then Normal (2/12/2014)
Having diabetes in middle age appears to set the mind on a path toward greater cognitive decline, shaving off the equivalent of five years of brain health. These findings, published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, are in line with previous research showing a link between type 2 diabetes and dementia. The results reinforce the need for early lifestyle interventions.

12.3 E-readers 'damage sleep and health', doctors warn (23/12/2014)
Twelve people were locked in a sleep laboratory for two weeks.
They spent five days reading from a paperback and five days from an iPad.
Regular blood samples showed the production of the sleep hormone melatonin was reduced by reading an e-book.
People also took longer to fall asleep, had less deep sleep and were more tired the next morning.
The researchers said other e-readers such as the Nook and Kindle Fire produced similar wavelengths of light and would have the same impact

12.4 Mental Health Resolution for 2015 (26/12/2014)
When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, our self-improvement efforts often focus on getting a better body. And we ignore that other, equally important part of our wellbeing: our mental health.
Certain health hazards come with warnings, like cigarettes or alcohol, but less obvious ones, like loneliness and rejection, can take just as great toll, says psychologist Guy Winch, author of Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure and Other Everyday Hurts. Research shows social isolation is linked to shorter lifespans, yet we often ignore our emotional hygiene. “If our dental hygiene were as poor as our emotional hygiene, we’d be all gums and no teeth,” says Winch.
... 7. Be informed on the impact of common psychological wounds and how to treat them. You know how to treat a cut or a cold, so you should also know how to treat rejection, failure, loneliness, guilt and other common emotional wounds. By becoming mindful about your psychological health and adopting habits of good emotional hygiene, you will not only heal your psychological injuries when you sustain them, but you will elevate your entire quality of life.
