Insomnia is described as difficulty in falling asleep or difficulty to achieve continuous sleep. It is not a disease or diagnosis but a symptom. An average person experiences insomnia at least once in their life. It was found that 30-50% of people are insomniacs.
All age groups are affected by insomnia. Its incidence increases as age increases because stress is the most common cause of insomnia. Furthermore, women are more affected by this than men.
The cure for insomnia involves activities that would promote sleep and reduce stimulation. Several activities are advised to the insomniacs to prepare their body for sleep.
1. Exercise regularly. Studies have shown that regular exercise helps the body with its sleeping problems. It is generally important to attain optimal health. It is important to stress that exercise should be made early in the morning and not immediately before sleeping.
2. Avoid heavy meals and lots of fluids before going to bed. Large meals could lead to indigestion while a lot of fluids will increase the incidence of having to get up to urinate in the middle of the night
3. Maintain a peaceful and comfortable environment. During bedtime, turn off the lights, turn off anything that could create noise, and be sure you are comfortable with the room temperature. These factors affect sleep. Remove the clock from sight because it will contribute to your anxiety and frustration when you can’t fall asleep.
The following are excellent tips to put an end to your sleepless nights.
1. Decrease ingestion of stimulant-containing substances such as tea, coffee, alcohol, and cigarettes. Stimulants increase alertness, which are not needed during sleep.
2. Eat a very light carbohydrate snack before bedtime; or better yet, drink warm milk
3. Take a warm bath 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime. The immediate effect of a warm bath is sedation. When the bath is taken more than an hour before bedtime, an arousing effect would occur instead of a sedating one. Furthermore, warmth relieves body tension.
4. Stop watching TV, reading, or engaging in any mind-stimulating activities at least an hour before bedtime. These activities tend to prolong your wakefulness.
5. Use only your bed for sleeping (and sex). This will help your body associate your bed to just sleep. Thus, when you lie on your bed, it is a signal that it is time to sleep.
6. Engage in relaxation activities: listening to music, deep breathing exercises, meditation, etc. These activities slow down body processes and help the body to relax. Both functions aid the body in falling asleep.
7. Clear your mind. Remove all concerns and worries from your mind. You can do this through writing your thoughts and ideas in a journal.
8. Do not take naps. Try to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday. Taking naps will only disrupt your biological clock. On the other hand, sleeping and waking up at the same time everyday will help your body set your biological clock.
Through following these tips, a good night’s sleep is very much attainable. Remember that sleep is essential for the body’s growth and repair. Insomnia is not something that occurs naturally in your body. Thus, it must be treated.
If the mentioned tips do not cure or even minimize the insomnia or if insomnia is quite bothering you for a long time, do not hesitate to consult a doctor.

Making such a change does not actually affect the new testament or Jesus.
All it would accomplish would be the creation of lie.
History remains what it is, regardless of what/how those who come after decide to write about it.
Truth does not become a lie simply because you've called it so.

lemme just tell you something…
I survived the Endless Eight.
that's becoming a quite famous quote.
you WILL be using it when Endless Eight is over, lol.
Yes, it is very…somewhat….irritating after awhile. you start saying the lines with them. It's basically just about the SOS Brigade experiencing the same 2 weeks over and over and over…and over………and…..over…..again. But it is certainly an interesting story.
HOWEVER! Every now and then the lines change, lol, to keep you "interested." And their outfits. And means of transportation. lol. I watched all eight never-ending episodes because I am a Haruhi Suzumiya fan, a pure SOS Brigader, and when I cosplayed as her I was a proud to say "I SURVIVED THE ENDLESS EIGHT!!!"
lol.
so if you're a Haruhi fan, you must watch it. skipping it would almost be pointless. actually, there would be a point-to get it over with. but then you can't say you were the strongest out of all the other Haruhi fans! where's the joy in being weak? lol.
AND if you're a true Haruhi fan, then Haruhi can never get boring. I wouldn't say that it "hurt" it, but it definitely annoyed a lot of people.
I talked with Johnny Young Bosch at Anime South convention. (He plays Itsuki Koizumi in the english dub..and I supposed "talked" isn't the right word since we just asked him a question…) He said that he wasn't sure how much he was allowed to say on the matter of dubbing it in english, but mentioned that if they do dub it, they might change or eliminate Endless Eight because of the problems the fan had with it.
I have to admit, the whole Endless Eight thing was pretty darn creative. And so Haruhi-Suzumiya-like.
hahahahahah, so just watch it. endure it. survive it! lol

It's also known as 'tag' in America i think.
One person is 'in' and they have to chase and touch another person. The person they touch is now 'in'.
You can play 'build ups' where the each person that gets tipped remains 'in' until all players have been tipped and work as a team to tip all who aren't already in.
Or you can play only one person is in at a time and once you tip someone else they are in on their own.
Probably the best game ever intvented.
