Dentist Dental Doctor Teeth Medical Health

Many people often experience a sense of apprehension when it comes to dental visits, which can be more intense than the unease felt before a general medical check-up. This anxiety is frequently compounded by the stern reminders about the importance of regular teeth brushing – advice that, while crucial for dental health, can sometimes come across as daunting. However, regular dental care is essential for maintaining overall health, and dentists play a key role in preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral health issues. Embracing these visits and the advice given can lead to a healthier lifestyle and a brighter smile. Photo by cottonbro studio

The whole of last week, I was so busy with work and other stuff (excuses, excuses) that I did not have time to shave.

I started to look like a Neanderthal man – unshaven and the moustache & beard had grown like a wild bush. I started to look sick, so much so some of colleagues started asking me whether I was having a problem or was having a fever.

Sleeping problems? – Hypnotise yourself to sleep

I did not know that there is a “The Better Sleep Foundation” and “National Sleep Foundation” until I “googled” it up in the net. Gosh!

When I was doing my law degree whilst working full time, sleep was a luxury. Studying until 2.00 am and then waking up for work at 6.00 am, meant I only slept for 4 hours everyday for 6 days a week.… [Click to read the rest] “Sleeping problems? – Hypnotise yourself to sleep”
