To sleep or to sleep in? With young people going to bed later every night and not getting the required eight hours, sleeping in on the weekends has become the norm. But “sleep debt†is best avoided, says a doctor.YOUNG people take note! Do not waste your weekends away, even if you had a very bad week at work.That is the advice shared by the Chong sisters who won second place in The Amazing Race Asia 2 in 2008.Family time: Vanessa and Pamela Chong love hanging out at home with their family, playing mahjong on weekends.Prior to the race, the sisters were already leading an active lifestyle; they wake up before 7am, followed by rigorous exercise and a hearty breakfast.Now, Vanessa is up before 6am to get herself ready for boot camp while Pamela is up before 7am to have a go at her cross trainer.To them, nothing is more wasteful than a wasted weekend – when those two days are the only free time for them to do the things that they can’t on weekdays.Coming from a big family (they hav

Suicidal feelings are mostly due to some sort of mental disorder, but they are not exclusive to the mentally ill. Anyone can have such feelings. If you feel like life is over, do not be afraid to reach out – there are people who care and who want to help you.IN many ways, suicide is one of life’s perfect paradoxes. Scott Anderson summarised this paradox in his New York Times article, The Urge to End It All, thus: “Our contradictory reactions to the act speak to the conflicted hold it has on our imaginations: revulsion mixed with fascination, scorn leavened with pity.“It is a cardinal sin – but change the packaging a little, and suicide assumes the guise of heroism or high passion, the stuff of literature and art.â€But if there is one thing suicidologist and college counsellor Dr Adnan Omar wants to remind us of, it is that no one is 100% sure he or she wants to die. He may really feel like it, but there is almost always a tiny little hope that something or someone will give

MUCH has been said about how men and women are from different planets — they just don’t speak the same language or think the same way.How far true is this?Last year, Durex’s Sexual Wellbeing survey revealed that 49 per cent of Malaysian men feel they don’t know enough about the “emotional” aspects of relationships, while only two per cent of Malaysian women felt the same way.”Intimacy” apparently means different things to a man and woman. The perception is that men who are attuned to their emotional side are not “real men”.Durex Malaysia general manager Voong King Yee says Malaysian men are generally not that open when it comes to expressing their emotions.”This might be due to our upbringing where men have been programmed from young to think that expressing oneself is not a manly thing to do.”HELP University College psychology lecturer and licensed marriage and family therapist associate Charis Wong Yen Wai says men have been conditioned to shut down their emotions.Men learn that the

Before running out and seeing the film Valentine’s Day, I want to share what I learned while completing my study about the online dating practises of urban professionals here in Vancouver. After interviewing 40 men and women about how they date online and what they look for in potential dates and mates, I hope to shed some light on what it means when we hear people say “I’m online dating.” Online dating may not help you find love, but it may be a welcome distraction from all those eHarmony.com commercials that try to convince you about how lonely you are during this made-up-holiday season.1. Love does not really occur online. Despite pop cultural conceptions of the lonely heart in his/her parent’s basement trolling for solely technologically-mediated, non-face-to-face interaction, online daters in Vancouver want to meet, on average, within two weeks. After a month of contact with no face-to-face meeting, you’re filed under the hermit-whodoesn’t-leave-their-house category. And believe m

Old-fashioned, common-sense advice to just relax may actually work to help some women get pregnant, doctors reported on Monday.Source: WikipediaFor years women seeking to get pregnant have been advised by friends and family to stop stressing about it — an idea that not all obstetricians and gynecologists have embraced.But research presented at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Atlanta suggests there may be something to it.Alice Domar, who runs a fertility center in Boston and also works at Harvard Medical School, found that women who took part in a stress management program while having a second round of assisted fertility treatment had a 160 percent greater pregnancy rate than women getting IVF alone.”Reproductive health experts have long wondered about the impact that stress may have on fertility, thus impeding a woman’s ability to conceive,” Domar said in a statement.”This study shows that stress management may improve pregnancy rates, minimizing the st

Women need more sleep than men — around 20 minutes of more sleep on an average — owing to their busy and multi-tasking brain, according to a new research by a British sleep expert.Source: Wikipedia“Women need 20 minutes more shut-eye than the average man. This is because women’s brains are wired differently from men’s and are more complex, so their sleep need is slightly greater,†said Professor Jim Horne, director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University in UK.Pointing out that one of the major functions of sleep is to allow the brain to recover and repair itself, Horne said, “During deep sleep, the cortex — part of the brain responsible for thought memory, language and so on — disengages from the senses and goes into recovery mode. The more a person uses his brain during the day, the more sleep he needs at night to recover, Horne said adding, “Women tend to multi-task — they do lots at once and are flexible — and so they use more of their actual

A good face cream can work wonders, but it’s equally important to nourish your skin from the inside out. Below, I present four delicious foods packed with essential nutrients to keep your skin looking radiant and fresh!1. Sweet Potato FriesSweet potatoes are a dynamite source of beta-carotene (their bright orange color is a dead giveaway). Your body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps to continually generate new, healthy skin cells.I like to turn sweet potatoes into crispy oven-baked French fries. Cut peeled potatoes into ¼-inch strips and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with oil spray. Mist the fries with oil spray and season with salt, black pepper, or any other seasonings (ground cinnamon, curry powder, and chili powder are all fun options). Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through. I finish my fries under the broiler for 5 minutes to get them extra crispy!2. Balsamic CarrotsLike sweet potatoes, carro

You wear sunscreen every day, don’t smoke, and spare no expense on skin creams and potions. But despite your best intentions, you may still be making errors that can lead to premature aging. Here are five common skincare blunders to avoid.1. Over exfoliatingPeople with dry skin often think exfoliating can help by sloughing away flakes and dead skin cells. But over exfoliation can make dry skin worse by impairing your skin’s ability to hold onto water, making it look dull, lifeless and older. I’ve seen patients exfoliate so much they get a rash that feels like sandpaper!2. Using the same moisturizer year-roundSome skin types are oily in summer and dry in winter. This is because there is less water in the air in the winter and skin can easily become dehydrated. If you have oily skin, don’t assume you should use an oil-free moisturizer all year–or that you can go without. Instead, use a serum or lotion when your skin is oily and switch to a richer cream when it’s dry. Many companies incl
