10 Top Foods for a Good Night's Sleep

April 26, 2007 11:29 AM |

The secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours? About 90 minutes before you want to nod off, head for the kitchen and make yourself a sleepy-time snack. Keep it light (around 200 calories), so you don't overload your digestive system. And include one or two foods from the list below. All help to relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones -- serotonin and melatonin -- flowing. Yawning yet?

1. Bananas -- They're practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.
2. Chamomile tea -- Chamomile is a staple of bedtime tea blends because of its mild sedating effect, which makes it the perfect natural antidote for restless minds and bodies.
3. Warm milk -- It's not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan, an amino acid that has a sedative-like effect, and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus, there's the psychological throwback to infancy, when a warm bottle meant "relax, everything's fine."
   
4. Honey -- Drizzle a little in your warm milk or herb tea. Lots of sugar is stimulating, but a little glucose tells your brain to turn off orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's linked to alertness.
5. Potatoes -- A small baked spud won't overwhelm your gastrointestinal tract as it clears away acids that can interfere with yawn-inducing tryptophan. To up the soothing effect, mash the potato with warm milk.
6. Oatmeal -- Oats are a rich source of sleep-inviting melatonin, and a small bowl of warm cereal with a splash of maple syrup is cozy -- and if you've got the munchies, it's filling, too.
7. Almonds -- A handful of these heart-healthy nuts can send you snoozing because they contain both tryptophan and a nice dose of muscle-relaxing magnesium.
8. Flaxseeds -- When life goes awry, and feeling down is keeping you up, try sprinkling 2 tablespoons of these healthy little seeds on your bedtime oatmeal. They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a natural mood lifter.
9. Whole-wheat bread -- A slice of toast with your tea and honey will release insulin, which helps tryptophan get to your brain, where it's converted to serotonin and quietly murmurs "time to sleep."
10. Turkey -- It's the best-known source of tryptophan, credited with all those Thanksgiving naps. But that's actually modern folklore. Tryptophan works when your stomach's basically empty rather than overstuffed and when there are some carbs around rather than tons of protein. But put a lean slice or two on some whole-wheat bread midevening and you've got one of the best sleep-inducers in your kitchen.

What if none of these foods helps? Check out your sleep habits with this quick RealAge assessment to find out what's keeping you up at night.

Lullaby Muffins
Between the bananas, the whole wheat, and the light touch of sweetness, these muffins are practically an edible lullaby.

2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large, very ripe bananas
1/3 cup applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup milk or soymilk

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the flour (make sure it's whole-wheat pastry flour or you'll produce golf balls, not muffins), salt, and baking powder. In a blender, puree the bananas; add the applesauce, honey, and milk. Blend well. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Line muffin tins with paper muffin cups and pour in batter. Bake 30 minutes or until tops are lightly brown and slightly springy. Makes 12 low-fat muffins.

Is there any true friendship?

When i was younger, still in elementary school, i was the person who was always believe in friendship; " best friend forever", "forever friend", " friendship forever", " friends are people who will always there beside you no matter what,even though your boyfriend might betray and left you", blah blah blah..."





Then, the picture of that became fade away in mind when i was in junior-high..
That was the hardest and weirdest moment of my life ( i would give my life to not experience something any closer to that, anymore). I kept asking myself about true friendship concept almost every time. I was betrayed, left and stabbed by my very own friends. It was very painful moment then,
It changed me a lot, i was no longer cheerful, friendly and talkative person.



But, few years later wound in my heart was healed by bunch of my school friend which i've never imagine how my life change because of them. They are very humble, nice and friendly people. We were together grow up and through a lot of things. They softened my heart and eventually i became happy and my faith in friendship was very strong. It is amazing how i always use them in all my writing. What is more amazing that my friend who let me down before eventually became a very good supporter again in my life. It was the greatest moment in my life.

Again, some one said, once you up you will also go down...



It happened to me,
I was forced to left my moment of happiness by time. As we are grow and become college student, we became far away from each other.

College life made me through a lot.
Meet a lot of different people with different kind of personality. It opened my eyes how God create people in really different personality, habit and attitude one to another.

I through a lot of nightmare meeting different people.
as I have strange personality (i might say ^^), i see not all people can respect and accept me as who i am.
eventually i was stabbed, again and again and again and again and i fall, laid down and i stand then i fall then i kneel ..
it was super tiring mentally and physically. T.T

Seeing myself being stabbed over and over again, i remember someone told me,

" there was no such thing as best friend in the world, don't be too naive. People who you called best friend can suddenly turn away and stabbed you from your back. And when it happen, no one will ever help you. "

i was stunned.
that's it!I just lose my faith in believing Friendship..

I began to wonder, " is there any true friendship? People who honestly just want to be with you without asking you anything and wont leave you even when you are no longer fun?" or " we actually can find our true best friend but maybe we just cant have a lot of them", or " the one you once call friend can someday turn away and leave you behind? " there are a lot of questions through my mind right now.

maybe only God knows, maybe only Him could tell and explain it to me someday...

10 Husbands, Still a Virgin

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.

On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."

"What?" said the puzzled groom.

"How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"

"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

Homer Simpson Quotes

From: http://www.funnyandjokes.com/15-best-homer-simpson-quotes-ever.html

15 Best Homer Simpson Quotes. Ever.

I was a big fan of the Simpson’s, can you believe how long the show has been around? Everyone has their favorite characther, but mine is definitely Homer. This guy says the funniest (and often completely true) things. Here is a list of the all time best Homer Simpson quotes ever

1. Son, when you participate in Sporting Events, it’s not whether you win or lose: it’s how drunk you get.
2. Son, a woman is like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you’d step over your own mother just to get one! But you can’t stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!
3. What’s the point of going out? We’re just going to wind up back here anyway.
4. I’m normally not a praying man, but if you’re up there, please save me, Superman.
5. Fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs.
6. Books are useless! I only ever read one book, “To Kill a Mockingbird” and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the color of his skin… but what good does that do me?
7. I hope I didn’t brain my damage.

11. Old people don’t need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what Nutritients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.
12. Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely true!

Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn’t hear anybody laughing, did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Makes sound effects and laughs. Where was I? Oh yeah! Stay out of my booze.
14. You don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.

Bar Jokes

A Really Bad Day
There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

Apakah Sukses itu?

Apakah Sukses itu?
Sering dan banyak tertawa,
mendapatkan rasa hormat dari orang pandai
dan rasa kasih dari anak-anak;
meraih penghargaan kritikus yang jujur
dan tabah menghadapi pengkhianatan teman palsu;
menghargai keindahan.
menemukan sifat baik dalam diri orang lain
membuat dunia lebih baik, entah dengan
anak yang sehat, sepetak kebun
atau kondisi sosial yang lebih baik;
mengetahui seseorang telah hidup
lebih mudah karena keberadaanmu;
itulah arti sukses

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882)
dari Chiken Soup for Teenage Soul

Wajah-wajah Remaja kita

Tampaknya banyak orang yang berusia lebih tua dengan tak sepantasnya membanggakan fakta bahwa mereka orang dewasa
Ketika remaja datang menyerbu dengan antusiasme dan cita-cita, mereka menyunggingkan senyum yang sangat menggurui dan melepaskan anak-anak mereka dengan apa yang mereka sebut restu.
Tapi kau dan aku tahu bahwa yang mereka berikan bukanlah restu tapi siraman air dingin.
Mereka menepuk punggung anak remaja mereka dan berkata, " kau masih muda. Nikmatilah antusiasme dan cita-cita mu selama masih bisa.
Karena ketika sudah dewasa dan terjun ke dunia, kau akan menyadari betapa bodohnya cita-citamu ini"

dan, masalahnya, remaja memang menjadi dewasa dan meninggalkan cita-cita mereka.
Dan itulah satu alasan mengapa dunia yang mereka masuki tidak cepat membaik.
