Insomnia is a really unpleasant problem itself, since it’s a horrible feeling to never be able to relax after working all day, and to never feel rejuvenated after a night of sleep.

Side effects of insomnia can be short term or long term depending on the cause. They can last for as little as a month or so, or continue for a long period of time. The lack of sleep can be harmful to living a healthy life. Sleep disorders can bring about a number of issues besides causing you to feel unhealthy.

Here’s to defeating Insomnia once and for all, everyone!

Want to ace that next test? Try taking a mid-afternoon siesta.  (i.e. “have a pzizz!”)

While the findings are preliminary, new research raises the prospect that sleep, specifically a lengthy afternoon nap, prepares the brain to remember things. Think of it as similar to rebooting a computer to get it to work more smoothly.

“Sleep is not just for the body. It’s very much for the brain,” said study author Matthew Walker, an assistant professor at the University of California at Berkeley.

Our head developer, Trygve, spoke to me yesterday (Monday) and told me he expected to be able to show me the updates to our iPhone apps in the next couple of days - which is obviously great news!

However, it made me realise that I’ve been so busy concentrating on getting the iPhone apps updated, working on the new website and updating our affiliate program that I’ve completely forgotten to do some proper marketing of the iPhone apps themselves recently…

… and this means I have lots of promo codes left over!

(If you’re not aware, Apple gives developers 50 promo codes per update to give away to media, customers etc. but I’ve only given away half of them)

Anyway, I’ve got 20 ‘pzizz relax’ codes and 30 ‘pzizz sleep’ codes and I thought this might be a great time to give them away, rather than just let them expire!

In order to keep this simple, I’ve decided to create two contests - one for ‘relax’ and one for ’sleep’…  Please feel free to enter both contests!

Please see the following two posts for information on how to enter.

1. ‘pzizz relax‘ for iPhone Twitter Contest
2. ‘pzizz sleep‘ for iPhone Twitter Contest

Good luck!
