5 Don'ts when you are sleeping

A colleague sent this to me.

1 DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

2 DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer.
So go to bed without it.

3 DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not encouraged.
Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible.
Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used.
These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system.
Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you,
switch it off first.

4 DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring.
You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

Lastly.....

5 DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE / HUSBAND
You may never wake up again. : )

Here to stay... just for a while

Interesting article by a blogger on Financial Times which explains the differing pictures seen in the credit and equity world at the moment.

The recent credit turmoil has hurt many banks (and investors) yet the recent massive losses disclosed by Citigroup, UBS and other US investment banks have not exactly hurt them. In mind-blowing contrast, their share prices have rocketed and the Dow Jones closed to a record on Monday.

Perhaps it is time to make gains in the stock markets while the euphoria is still bubbling. And remember to get out before the bears come mauling.
